Based in a scout hut in Pontcanna fields it provides after school facilities until 6pm for children whose parents cannot meet them straight from school. They operate a fleet of mini buses which collect from schools in the Llandaff /Canton/ Pontcanna areas of the city. The staff running the club are very friendly and supervision is of a high standard. The club offers a wide range of arts, crafts, and sporting activities as well as providing a large supply of toys and a pool table. The children are also provided with a snack and drink.

"It's great - please, can I go back? And don't pick me up too early" That is the verdict of my…read more8-year old and who am I to disagree?!? Little Keypers school holiday options at the Scout Hut in Pontcanna Fields are fabulous. The children bring their own lunch if you opt for all-day but a healthy snack mid-morning and afternoon is provided. They accept childcare vouchers which makes this even better. And the children seem to love it. The staff are very friendly and accommodating (and have an amazing memory for names) and I can only hope they continue until the 8-year old has turned into a teenager.

Or your children choose. Mine were in the English section but because they heard so much Welsh around the school they were also pretty good at that. It's a small school, so small that when my kids were there it had only two classes in the English section and about twice that in the Welsh. There's more now and nice new class rooms and, or course, children. Mine are both Oxbridging now so say pah to Eton and send your youngsters to Gwaelod (and Radyr).
