The minister visited Llandogo Early Years day nursery in Monmouthshire where he met with staff who have worked with the Welsh Government to develop a curriculum specifically for non-maintained settings.

The curriculum for funded non-maintained nurseries was published earlier this year. It was developed to support the roll-out of the new Curriculum for Wales, which starts in September, and ensure children who receive early education in a non-maintained setting are given the best possible start on their learning journey.

The curriculum has been co-constructed with contribution from early years practitioners and leaders, drawing on the experience of the sector, as well as the views of experts in child development and early education.
