Welcome to the Ladybirds and Bumblebees Class Page!
There are three Nursery classes in Ysgol Glan Gele; the Ladybirds, Bumblebees and the Caterpillars
Starting nursery is an exciting and important milestone and we hope that our learners have an exciting start to their learning journey.
At Ysgol Glan Gele, we strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where children can grow, learn, and make new friends.
In the first few weeks, we will be getting to know your child and helping them settle into their new surroundings.
Our nursery classes provide opportunities to play and learn, and we have lots of exciting areas for the children to explore, including the outdoors, role play, construction and inviting creative spaces. These areas promote curiosity and encourage learners to discover and pursue their own interests.
We hope that the children will have an amazing time in their new nursery class.
