The babies and toddlers at Llangollen Ti a Fi playgroup have welcomed their new support officer, Llinos Davies, from Welsh language organisation Mudiad Meithrin.
Ms Davies has recently joined Mudiad Meithrin, previously enjoying a career as a manager within the library service covering Ruthin and Denbigh.
Playgroup volunteer Jen Sandford said: "Llinos has
only just joined us but she's already a big hit with the children and parents
who come here.
"She brings her own craft activities and leads us in traditional
Welsh nursery songs and storytime at the end. People are mainly English first
language here, but we really want to try and pick up bits of Cymraeg that we
can use at home with our little ones."
Llangollen Ti a Fi has also recently benefited from grants
towards new toys funded by Cittaslow Llangollen and Mudiad Meithrin.
New
additions include a new play kitchen, a wooden indoor climbing triangle (by
Gwynedd-based Triclimb) and ride-on, bouncy animals. The volunteers who run the
group made a concerted effort to source toys made from wood and other natural
materials where possible, ideally sourced locally.
This long-standing baby and toddler group meets once a
week, during term-time, at Glanrafon Chapel's school room on Princess Street,
Llangollen LL20 8RD.
Children are welcome with their parents or carers, from
ages 0 - 4 years. Each session runs from 9am - 11am and costs £1.50 per child
for those over 6 months (additional children 50p). The first visit is free and
includes a healthy snack and tea / coffee for the adults.
