We provide both practical and emotional support
Y Bont is a lot more than just a provider of pre-school childcare, we support families providing both practical and emotional support. We function as a multi-agency resource, signposting those who need help to the relevant body whether it be Local Authority, support groups, Citizen’s Advice Bureau or another charity in the area to best help each individual need. We cater for all conditions and believe in inclusion for all; by providing disabled children with an opportunity to play and learn. Parents can self-refer, or referrals can also be made via health professionals or Social Services.
Our service
- We are here to help you. To be a listening ear, provide advice, support and signpost to as many services as we can that can assist you and your family.

- As a charity we subsidise our fees to ensure our service is accessible to all. We can also help families to access funding that you may be eligible for.
- We know that one approach doesn’t fit all; each child is unique in their ability, personality and behaviour. We follow a child-centered approach which recognises the individual needs of each child.
- Families can receive continuity of care from 6 weeks up until 12 years old due to our provision of after school club and holiday club.
