Exciting news for parents in Carmarthenshire! Five primary schools could soon welcome younger learners with a proposed change to offer nursery education for children as young as three. This means more support for families and fairer access to early years education across the county. The schools involved are Ysgol Y Ddwylan, Ysgol Cwrt Henri, Ysgol Gymraeg Y Tymbl, Ysgol Llanybydder, and Laugharne VCP School.
The council’s plan would allow these schools to provide at least 10 hours per week of part-time early years education, a great boost for areas where nursery options are limited. This move follows a decision to scrap the “Rising 4s” policy, ensuring children start full-time at the beginning of the term after their fourth birthday.
But what do you think? The council wants to hear from parents, carers, school staff, and anyone with an interest. The consultation is open until October 16, so don’t miss your chance to have a say!
