My son absolutely loves the outdoor areas - especially the sand pit, obstacle course and anything involving mud! His motor skills have significantly improved thanks to all the outdoor play, whatever the weather.
I really like how he can freely move between different indoor and outdoor spaces, choosing activities that interest him. The nursery's approach lets children follow their curiosity while still providing the right guidance.
The management team is super responsive, and I love getting detailed daily updates about what he's been up to. The food must be good too, as he always seems happy at mealtimes!
Thank you so much for your review. We're so pleased that your son settled well and is enjoying his time with us. Diolch yn fawr!
Both our children have attended Si-Lwli and the level of care and compassion provided by the staff has been incredible. The recent investment in the setting has been great, but what makes Si-Lwli stand out is the amazing staff that work there!
Thank you for your really lovely review of the Nursery.
The staff are great and friendly, my 10-month-old son has only been going a little while but has been made to feel very welcome. There has been a lovely new play area developed in the garden recently. We receive regular updates and the staff want to proactively improve the experience and development of the children.
Thank you for your lovely review of the Nursery!
Our son has been in Si-Lwli now for almost 12 months, the level of service has been exceptional and the team delivers a level of service that shows they really care. I've been constantly impressed by every interaction and the level of communication is spot on. They just get the small things right which for little people is key.
Thank you so much for your kind review of the Nursery!
For example, this week they visited the shop to select ingredients to later make cookies. The other week, they visited the park to collect leaves for another project.
Our daughter loves being in the garden. The staff encouraged her to dig, saw, hammer, and do other things we wouldn't think to let her loose at home. It's a delight to see the regular photos and receive updates on these activities.
Thank you for your lovely review of the Nursery!
My children are from an English-speaking family and they understood the Welsh language within a year of attending (to an expected age-related level).
I would also add, that the dates for a child to start seem to be more flexible and helpful than some other nurseries I had looked into, in that a couple of others would only let you know a couple of months before if they had space or not, and would only intake in September, when Si Lwli were able to advise straight away if they had availability to start in a certain month or not, which was certainly useful for us.
It's important for us to know that when we drop them off at nursery they'll be in a safe environment, and they'll have a wonderful day!
Thank you so much for your lovely review of the nursery!
An outstanding nursery with staff who go above and beyond to nurture and care for the children. The variety of activities they undertake with each child and all linked to development outcomes is fantastic. Communication between parents and the team is great both daily via the app and also in person, by email, and over the phone. Nothing is too much trouble. The staff are highly trained and emphasis is placed on CPD and training for all staff so they are always up to date and ahead of the curve in their knowledge and implementation of the latest childcare and early years approaches. Our child is so happy here, it's a friendly, caring, and fun environment with a lovely community of staff and parents. We can't thank them enough.
Thank you for your lovely review of the Nursery.
Our son has flourished within the warm environment and has thrived whilst being supported by such dedicated staff. It has been a joy to see how he has adapted within the Welsh language setting and enjoys sharing songs that they have learned. The variety of activities and meals is wonderful, as are the opportunities for messy and outdoor play.
Thank you for your kind review of the Nursery!
Staff are kind and caring and get to know the children well. There is continuous training and staff are rightfully proud of what they offer.
Great communication with daily summaries, child focus weeks, and parent's evenings. The St David's Day show is a highlight.
Varied activities and child-led. Lots of time spent outdoors and on local trips.
5 stars all round!
Thank you so much for your lovely review of the nursery!
The fun being had in the outside areas is clear to see and brings a smile and warmth to my heart.
Thank you for your lovely review of the Nursery!
Our eldest was a lockdown baby who wasn't great with new experiences and meeting new people but she quickly settled and came to love going into nursery. To see her confidence build over the years has been wonderful. Our second child has recently started and was settled within a matter of days. My eldest loves helping at pick up and drop off just to see the staff again.
The experiences the staff provide are second to none, and the amount of outdoor time is amazing. We particularly liked the opportunities the forest school provided.
We love that we have access to a Welsh language nursery which provides wrap around for school.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend SiLwli thanks to the amazing staff that run it day to day.
Thank you for your kind review of the Nursery. If you'd like to get in touch to let us know how we can improve in the areas you've rated us lower in, we'd be very appreciative. We're always happy to receive constructive feedback as we want to offer the best service possible for our families.
Si Lwli is an excellent nursery and we are so pleased that we chose it for our daughter. The staff are enormously caring and knowledgeable, and the childrens' days are filled with engaging activities, both in and outdoors. The environment itself is homely and our daughter loves her Antis and Wncwls! Communication is excellent and the use of Welsh is comprehensive. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Si Lwli to others and have already!
Thank you for your wonderful review of the Nursery!
Our son has attended Si-Lwli since the age of 2, having previously been in another setting and settled in really quickly. As non-Welsh speakers at home we are amazed at how his Welsh language is naturally developing within just a few months.
The overwhelming thing that's stands out for us is just how happy both the children and staff seem to be there!
Thank you for your lovely review of the Nursery.
Our daughter started at SiLwli when she was 11 months old and still loves going to this nursery a few years on. She has the opportunity to get involved in different activities every day with lots of creative, imaginative and outdoor play. The staff are fantastic - so lovely and caring and they build a great relationship with both the children and parents. I would highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you for your lovely review. It's been wonderful to have your daughter with us for the last few years.
He has thrived, enjoys every activity and has great relationships with the staff. Si-Lwli has a family feel, the team and environment are amazing.
You will never worry leaving your child with the Si-Lwli team.
Thank you for such a lovely review. It's been an absolute pleasure caring for your son for the past 3 years!
My daughter has been going to Si-Lwli for almost two years now. She has a lovely time here, doing a huge variety of activities and spending lots of time outside. The staff are great, they were so kind when she was settling in and have recently been so helpful while my daughter has been potty training. I get updates through an app on what my daughter has been doing with photos which is always lovely to see. She also gets nice healthy meals here, and eats things here that she wouldn't eat at home! I will be sending my second daughter here next year and have complete confidence in the care she will receive.
Thank you so much for your review Bethany. It's a pleasure caring for your daughter.
I'm not sure how to put into words just how fantastic the staff are. They feel like a part of our extended family and that is due to their genuine care for the children, and for us as parents.
As staff, they are always developing professionally and they have been able to adapt and find ways to support the children when they have needed that extra emotional care.
I am so grateful for the input they've had on such formative years in my children's lives. They've modelled to them what a caring, respectful relationship looks like, and this has meant that they've formed wonderful friendships of their own while there.
I couldn't recommend it highly enough and we'll be sad when our youngest daughter leaves Si Lwli for school in the summer because they've become friends with us.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review Hannah!
Could not recommend the nursery enough! My son has enjoyed his experience from the first viewing to his journey into school. They have supported both my son and us as parents in every way they can. Thankyou Si-Lwli!
Thank you for your lovely review! We've loved having your son here.
We have used Si Lwli for both of our daughters and the experience has been extremely positive. Both children have enjoyed going in every single day. Food choices are varied, healthy and tasty. Children have been exposed to lots of different foods. A lot of outside and creative play. It is a Welsh medium nursery but they provide all communication to parents bilingually, which is important to us, as I don't speak Welsh fluently. I couldn't recommend them higher.
Thank you so much for your lovely review of the nursery.
Si-Lwli is amazing and has been since my eldest started there almost 4 years ago. Both of my children have thrived throughout their time there. I couldn't think of anywhere else I'd want to send my children. The staff are wonderful and have incredible relationships with the children. The provision and resources are fantastic and have encouraged my children to develop in so many ways. I would highly recommend Si-Lwli to anyone with young children looking for a nursery setting.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review of the nursery!
