Flying Start

Flying Start is an initiative of the Welsh Assembly Government, aimed to improve outcomes for children 0-3 years within target areas, through the provision of high quality early years services. The menu of services provided locally will include high quality childcare for 2 year olds on a half-time basis (only available in designated flying start areas), increased health visiting, parenting programmes and basic skills.

Designated flying start areas include Sirhowy, Garnlydan, Coed y Garn, Deighton, Swfrydd and St Illtyd’s (based on school catchment areas).

If you live within a designated flying start area and would like further information please telephone the Family Information Service on FREEPHONE 08000 32 33 39.
