About Clybiau Plant Cymru Kids' Clubs

Established in 2001, Clybiau Plant Cymru Kids’ Clubs exists to help communities in Wales by promoting, developing and supporting quality, affordable, accessible out of school childcare clubs.

Operating either side of the school day and during holidays, out of school childcare clubs enable parents or carers to return to work, education or training in the knowledge that their children are being cared for by qualified playworkers. There are currently over 1000 breakfast, after school and holiday clubs across Wales. Clybiau Plant Cymru Kids' Clubs aims to develop one in every community where children aged 3 - 14 can play happily in a safe, stimulating and secure environment.

They work in partnership with the Welsh Assembly Government, the New Opportunities Fund, local authorities and communities across Wales to develop out of school care.
