Croeso Day Nursery

The former Calfaria Welsh Baptist Church has been given a new lease of life.

Owners of Croeso Day Nursery, Sam and Megan Fender have overseen the project in Cwmgrach.

The nursery will provide a much needed service to the local community. It will:

  • provide a bilingual childcare service
  • have more childcare places available
  • create new jobs

Megan also hopes to use the building as a community space to host other activities, including:

  • parent and baby groups
  • baby yoga
