Early Years
Plaid Cymru secured extended childcare provision through the Cooperation Agreement, but our ambition goes further.
Our vision is for a national and free Welsh-medium early years education and childcare service, Meithrin Cymru, providing high quality provision for children aged 12 months until they are eligible for full time education.
This requires an investment in the childcare workforce, including offering free Welsh language learning opportunities in the Englishmedium sector so they can be part of the scheme. Mudiad Meithrin would have a key role to play in making sure that Welsh language childcare is available in all parts of Wales.
