The project, which began in March of 2024, and was completed in the Summer of 2025, was funded through the Welsh Government’s Prosperity for All commitment to introduce Community Learning Centres which provide extended services with childcare, parenting support, family learning and community access to facilities built around the school day.

The new facility, which sits next to the school building, provides improved facilities for Welsh Medium childcare provision for local families in the Denbigh area, adding to the council’s overall offer within Denbighshire.

Main entrance of the new building

The new building has been designed to fit in with the colour scheme and architecture of the main school building and is approximately 230 square metres and features two classrooms and an outdoor learning area. This project has been designed by the council’s in-house architecture team.

Dafydd Davies, Headteacher at Ysgol Twm o’r Nant said:

“Our fantastic new nursery building is more than a space - it’s a place where young learners will grow, play, and thrive in the Welsh language.

This development reflects the growing demand for Welsh-medium education and the need for high-quality Welsh provisions in our area, ensuring every child has the opportunity to learn and flourish in Welsh”

Councillor Diane King, Lead Member for Education, Children and Families said:

“This new facility means that families in the Denbigh area have access to brilliant, high quality childcare provision.

This facility affirms our commitment as a council to expand our high-quality childcare provision within our County, with this new facility a fantastic addition within the Denbigh Area.

It is great to see that this building is now officially open, which will be a benefit to the community for generations to come.”
