Went with my wife to " A child's Christmas in Wales"First time to this regular event laid on by the Centre. Truly great nights entertainment laid on by the Theatre company. Can't wait to see it again next year!

We think it brilliant has we do our Thursday session there

Today myself , two colleagues and 11 children (we are from a day nursery) attended the craft drop in session).

I can not thank the staff enough for their kindness, they were able to answer our questions and provided activities for the children that we all enjoyed.

We stayed for 3 hours! And the children didn’t get bored once.

On behalf of us all at baby bug day nursery....... thank you �
