Flying start- Portmead Jaspers

Flying Start is the Welsh Government flagship early years programme for families with young children. 

Flying Start offers funded, high quality, part-time childcare for children between the ages of 2 and 3 years. 

Within Flying Start, young children will have a broad and balanced range of activities and experiences appropriate to their needs. This will support their development and aim to improve their outcome in preparation for school and in the long term. 

We are so lucky to have a flying start facility attached to our school. As a school, we want to make Portmead Jaspers feel welcome and ensure that we share experiences where possible. 

We work closely together, particularly focusing on relationships between our Portmead Jaspers and nursery class to facilitate a smooth transition between settings.
