We are an immersive Welsh language day nursery, sensitive to the linguistic needs of our families. We provide a homely, friendly and supportive environment when meeting the holistic needs of the boys and girls in our nursery.

At Si-Lwli, you will find spaces full of imagination and creativity that carefully weaves all aspects of learning and development across our indoor and outdoor environments, designed to enable the youngest minds to flourish.
