🎉 We’re Delighted to Share!
We have been awarded the Welsh Promise Gold Award! Over the past two and a half years, we’ve worked our way through Bronze, Silver, and now Gold, celebrating and promoting the Welsh language at every step. 🏆
The Welsh Promise recognises settings that actively use and encourage the Welsh language, helping children to learn and enjoy it every day.
This achievement is thanks to the hard work, dedication, and passion of our entire team. From learning and using Welsh, to embedding it into everything we do at nursery, our staff’s commitment has made this possible.
We are so proud of the progress we’ve made and of the environment we’ve created where the Welsh language is celebrated daily.
Diolch yn fawr to our amazing team and wonderful families for supporting us on this journey! 💛💚

🎉 Rydyn ni’n Llawen iawn i Rannu’r Newyddion!
Rydyn ni wedi ennill Gwobr Aur Addewid y Gymraeg! 🏆

Dros y ddwy flynedd a hanner ddiwethaf, rydyn ni wedi gweithio’n galed drwy’r lefel Efydd, A***n ac erbyn hyn Aur – gan ddathlu ac annog y Gymraeg ar bob cam.

Mae Addewid y Gymraeg yn cydnabod lleoliadau sy’n defnyddio ac yn hyrwyddo’r Gymraeg yn weithredol, gan helpu plant i’w dysgu a’i mwynhau bob dydd.

Mae’r llwyddiant yma i gyd diolch i waith caled, ymroddiad ac angerdd ein tîm gwych. O ddysgu ac o ddefnyddio’r Gymraeg, i’w hymgorffori ym mhopeth rydyn ni’n ei wneud yn y feithrinfa, mae ymrwymiad y staff wedi gwneud hyn yn bosibl.

Rydyn ni mor falch o’r cynnydd rydyn ni wedi’i wneud, a’r amgylchedd rydyn ni wedi’i greu lle mae’r Gymraeg yn cael ei dathlu’n ddyddiol.

Diolch yn fawr iawn i’n tîm anhygoel ac i’n teuluoedd bendigedig am eich cefnogaeth ar hyd y daith yma! 💛💚

🌸 Congratulations, Cara! 🌸

We’re over the moon to celebrate the arrival of beautiful little Rosa Mae, born earlier this week! 💕 She’s absolutely perfect, and we can already see how proud and happy big sister Raya is to welcome her new baby sister.

Sending all our love and warmest wishes to Cara and her family as they soak up these precious first days together. 💗👶✨

Welcome to the world, sweet Rosa Mae!

🌸 Llongyfarchiadau mawr, Cara! 🌸

Rydyn ni dros y lleuad yn dathlu cyrraedd Rosa Mae fach brydferth, a gafodd ei geni’n gynharach yr wythnos hon! 💕 Mae hi’n berffaith, ac rydyn ni eisoes yn gweld pa mor falch ac yn hapus yw chwaer fawr Raya i’w chroesawu i’r teulu.

Anfonwn ein holl gariad a’n dymuniadau cynhesaf at Cara a’r teulu wrth iddyn nhw fwynhau’r dyddiau cyntaf arbennig yma gyda’i gilydd. 💗👶✨

Diwali yn Joio!🪔

Mwynhaodd ein plant ddathlu Diwali yr wythnos hon drwy gymryd rhan mewn amrywiaeth o weithgareddau creadigol ac ymarferol. Fe wnaethon nhw addurno diyas, creu rangolis lliwgar, a dysgu am stori a thraddodiadau’r ŵyl arbennig hon.

Buom yn trafod sut mae Diwali yn cael ei ddathlu gan filiynau o bobl ledled y byd fel cyfnod i groesawu goleuni, caredigrwydd a dechreuadau newydd. Archwiliodd y plant sut mae teuluoedd yn addurno eu cartrefi, treulio amser gyda’i gilydd, ac edrych ymlaen at y flwyddyn sydd i ddod gyda gobaith a positifrwydd.

Roedd hon yn gyfle hyfryd i’r plant ddysgu am wahanol ddiwylliannau a gwerthoedd, wrth fynegi eu creadigrwydd a’u hymdeimlad o gymuned.

Diwali at Joio! 🪔

Our children enjoyed celebrating Diwali this week through a variety of creative and hands-on activities. They decorated diyas, made colourful rangolis, and learned about the story and traditions behind this special festival.

We talked about how Diwali is celebrated by millions of people around the world as a time to welcome light, kindness, and new beginnings. The children explored how families decorate their homes, share time together, and look forward to the year ahead with hope and positivity.

It was a lovely opportunity for our children to learn about different cultures and values while expressing their creativity and sense of community.

🍂✨ Anturiaethau’r Hydref yn y Feithrinfa 🧣🌳

Ni wedi bod yn gwneud y mwyaf o’r tymor ‘ma trwy ddilyn ein cynllunio Hygge Hydrefol, ac yn treulio llwyth o amser tu allan! 🍁🌬️

Mae’r plant wedi cael llond bol o hwyl yn chwarae yn yr awyr agored, mynd i’r parc, ac archwilio’r gymuned leol. Maen nhw wedi joio lapio lan yn gynnes, neidio mewn dail, a sylwi ar bob math o arwyddion o’r hydref o’u cwmpas! 🍃🧡

Mae chwarae tu allan yn rhan mor bwysig o’n diwrnod, mae’n helpu i adeiladu hyder, annog chwilfrydedd, ac yn dod â llwyth o lawenydd (a sgidiau llanast!) 😄👣

Edrychwch ar y lluniau isod i weld rhai o’r eiliadau hyfryd ni wedi dal! 📸✨

🍂✨ Autumn Adventures at Nursery 🧣🌳

We’ve been making the most of the season by following our cosy Autumn Hygge planning and spending loads of time outdoors! 🍁🌬️

The children have had so much fun playing outside, visiting the park, and exploring our local community. They’ve loved wrapping up warm, jumping in leaves, and spotting all the signs of autumn around them! 🍃🧡

Outdoor play is such an important part of what we do, it helps build confidence, encourages curiosity, and brings lots of joy (and muddy boots!) 😄👣

Take a look at some of the lovely moments we’ve captured in the photos below! 📸✨

🍯🍌 Trîtiau Cartref yn y Feithrinfa! 🎃🍪

Yn ddiweddar, wnaeth ein cogyddion bach godi llewys a mynd ati yn y gegin! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 Cawson ni hwyl fawr yn gwneud flapjacs mêl a banana a bisgedi pwmpen, ac roeddan nhw mor flasus â’u golwg! 😋✨

Mae pobi gyda’n gilydd yn helpu’r plant i archwilio gweadau, ymarfer mesur, a datblygu sgiliau bywyd pwysig – i gyd wrth gael tipyn o hwyl! 🧁❤️

Sgroliwch i weld ein pobyddion bach wrthi’n brysur, a’r trîtiau blasus wnaethon nhw greu! 📸🥰

🍯🍌 Homemade Treats at Nursery! 🎃🍪

Recently, our little chefs rolled up their sleeves and got creative in the kitchen! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 We had so much fun making honey & banana flapjacks and spooky pumpkin biscuits; and they tasted just as good as they looked! 😋✨

Baking together helps our children explore textures, practice measuring, and develop important life skills, all while having lots of fun! 🧁❤️

Our second spotlight employee is…..
🌟 Spotlight Employee: Lizzie! 🌟

Since joining us just a few months ago as our amazing cook, Lizzie has been absolutely fantastic! 🍎🥦

She’s taken everything in her stride. from learning all the children’s individual needs and preferences, to adapting when our old kitchen was completely ripped out and replaced (and still managing to serve up delicious, healthy, nutritious meals every day!). 👩‍🍳✨

Lizzie knows exactly which children like their sauce on the side, who might need an alternative meal, and always makes sure everyone is happy and well-fed. Her care, attention to detail, and calm approach make her a truly valued member of the Joio team. 💚

Thank you, Lizzie, you’re amazing, and we’re so lucky to have you! 🙌

Ers ymuno â ni ychydig fisoedd yn ôl fel ein cogydd anhygoel, mae Lizzie wedi bod yn wych! 🍎🥦

Mae hi wedi cymryd popeth yn ei stride, o ddysgu anghenion a hoffterau pob plentyn, i addasu pan gafodd ein hen gegin ei rhwygo allan a’i disodli (a dal i lwyddo i goginio prydau iach, maethlon bob dydd!). 👩‍🍳✨

Mae Lizzie’n gwybod yn union pa blant sy’n hoffi eu saws ar yr ochr, pwy sydd ddim yn hoff o rai bwydydd ac felly pryd i gynnig dewis arall. Mae ei gofal, manylder a’i natur dawel yn gwneud iddi fod yn aelod arbennig o dîm Joio. 💚

Diolch, Lizzie, rwyt ti’n wych ac rydym mor lwcus i’th gael di! 🙌

Y mis ‘ma mae gyda ni ddau weithiwr dan y sbotolau!
Y cyntaf yw Rhys…

🌟 Rhys 🌟

Dim ond ychydig wythnosau mae Rhys wedi bod gyda ni, ond mae e wedi gwneud cymaint o wahaniaeth i’r tîm a’r plant yn barod. 🙌

Gyda’i agwedd bositif, llygad craff ar beth sydd angen ei wneud (a jyst mynd amdani!), mae Rhys wedi troi’n rhywun rydyn ni’n gallu dibynnu arnodd o hyd. Mae e bob amser yn barod i estyn llaw, llawn hwyl a banter, ac yn gallu cymryd y blaen pan fo angen heb orfod cael ei ofyn. 💪

Mae’r plant wrth eu bodd gydag egni Rhys :boed yn trefnu gweithgareddau hwyliog, mynd allan yn yr awyr agored, neu fynd i’r parc ar fympwy, mae e wastad yn gwneud yn siŵr fod pawb yn chwerthin ac yn cael antur. 🌳⚽️🎨

Rydyn ni mor lwcus i gael Rhys yn rhan o’r tîm ! diolch am bopeth ti ‘di dod â gyda ti’n barod, a dwi’n siŵr fod mwy i ddod! 🙏✨

This month we have two spotlight employees!
The first is Rhys….

🌟 Rhys 🌟

Rhys has only been with us a few short weeks, but he’s already made a huge impact on both the team and the children. 🙌

With his positive attitude, sharp eye for what needs doing (and just getting it done!), Rhys has quickly become someone we can always rely on. He’s full of banter, always ready to lend a hand, and just as happy to step up and lead when needed. 💪

The kids love his energy! whether it’s planning fun activities, heading outdoors, or a spontaneous trip to the park, Rhys makes sure every moment is full of laughter and adventure. 🌳⚽️🎨

We’re so lucky to have Rhys on the team! thank you for everything you’ve brought already, we can’t wait to see what’s next! 🙏✨
