Mudiad Ysgolion Meithrin (original) (raw)

Mudiad Meithrin ("Nursery Movement"), formerly Mudiad Ysgolion Meithrin ("Nursery Schools Movement") is a voluntary movement specializing in the provision of Welsh-medium early years education, including nursery groups. It aims to give every young child in Wales the opportunity to benefit from early years services and experiences through the medium of Welsh. These voluntary groups are often crucial in the subsequent establishment of a Welsh-medium primary school in the area. The movement is particularly active in Anglicized areas of Wales and has grown considerably since the 1970s. In 2011, the organization's 40th birthday, it was renamed Mudiad Meithrin.
