Pupils at Ysgol Gymraeg Brynsierfel in Llanelli and their parents are benefiting from a new after school club which provides fun activities and child care.

Bydis Brynsierfel After-School Club recently ran a successful holiday club under the management of leaders Mrs Manon Mainwaring and Miss Catherine Fry.

Pupils of the school engaged in a wide variety of activities, such as cookery, sports and creativity within a happy, safe environment, supervised by qualified, caring staff during the summer.

The club runs Monday to Friday during term time from 3.15-6pm and is a vital resource for parents and carers, in particular those who are working and are seeking high quality, low cost childcare. This Monday Ysgol Gymraeg Brynsierfel opened its doors to welcome pupils to Bydis Brynsierfel on an INSET Day.

Since registering Bydis Brynsierfel with the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales and two thorough inspections by CSSIW Officers, low income families are eligible for help with funding. Certain professions allow employees to purchase childcare vouchers, which also help towards the cost of the club.

Headteacher Mrs Jayne Davies said, “All schools have designated In-Service Training days which although necessary to upskill staff can be a headache for parents who need support with childcare.

“In an effort to support Carmarthenshire County Council’s Well-being Objectives for 2017-18, our aim at Ysgol Gymraeg Brynsierfel is to tackle poverty, by helping people into work and improving the lives of those living in poverty.

“The new initiative has proved popular with pupils and parents alike and I would like to thank the staff of Bydis Brynsierfel for all their dedication and hard work.”

Carmarthenshire County Council executive board member for education and children’s services Cllr Glynog Davies said: “I’m delighted that Bydis Brynsierfel is such a hit with the children and their parents. It provides enjoyable activities for the pupils while making life easier for their parents.”

Mae disgyblion yn Ysgol Gymraeg Brynsierfel yn Llanelli a’u rhieni yn elwa o glwb ar ôl ysgol newydd sy’n darparu gofal plant a gweithgareddau hwyliog.

Yn ddiweddar, cynhaliodd Clwb ar ôl Ysgol Bydis Brynsierfel glwb gwyliau llwyddiannus o dan reolaeth yr arweinwyr sef Mrs Manon Mainwaring a Miss Catherine Fry.

Bu disgyblion yr ysgol yn cymryd rhan mewn amrywiaeth eang o weithgareddau, megis coginio, chwaraeon a chreadigrwydd mewn amgylchedd hapus a diogel, dan oruchwyliaeth staff cymwysedig a gofalgar yn ystod yr haf.

Mae’r clwb ar gael o ddydd Llun i ddydd Gwener yn ystod y tymor rhwng 3.15 a 6pm ac mae’n adnodd hanfodol ar gyfer rhieni a gofalwyr, yn enwedig y rhai sy’n gweithio ac yn chwilio am ofal plant rhad o ansawdd uchel. Ddydd Llun agorodd Ysgol Gymraeg Brynsierfel ei drysau i groesawu disgyblion i glwb Bydis Brynsierfel ar ddiwrnod HMS.

Ers cofrestru Bydis Brynsierfel gydag Arolygiaeth Gofal a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol Cymru a chael dau arolygiad trylwyr gan swyddogion AGGCC, mae teuluoedd ar incwm isel yn gymwys i gael cymorth â chyllid. Mae rhai proffesiynau yn caniatáu i weithwyr brynu talebau gofal plant, sydd hefyd yn helpu o ran cost y clwb.

Dywedodd Mrs Jayne Davies, y Pennaeth, “Mae pob ysgol yn cael diwrnodau Hyfforddiant mewn Swydd penodedig ac er bod y rhain yn angenrheidiol i wella sgiliau staff maen nhw’n gallu creu trafferth i rieni sydd angen cymorth o ran gofal plant.

“Mewn ymgais i gefnogi Amcanion Llesiant Cyngor Sir Caerfyrddin am 2017-18, ein nod yn Ysgol Gymraeg Brynsierfel yw mynd i’r afael â thlodi, drwy helpu pobl i gael gwaith a gwella bywydau’r rhai sy’n byw mewn tlodi.

“Mae’r fenter newydd wedi bod yn boblogaidd ymysg disgyblion a rhieni a hoffwn ddiolch i staff Bydis Brynsierfel am eu hymroddiad a’u gwaith caled.”

Dywedodd y Cynghorydd Glynog Davies, yr Aelod o’r Bwrdd Gweithredol dros Addysg a Gwasanaethau Plant yng Nghyngor Sir Caerfyrddin: “Rwyf wrth fy modd bod Bydis Brynsierfel yn gynllun mor boblogaidd ymysg y plant a’u rhieni. Mae’n darparu gweithgareddau pleserus i’r disgyblion yn ogystal â gwneud bywyd yn haws i’w rhieni.
