Yn dilyn adolygiad o’r gyfradd fesul awr, rwyf yn cyhoeddi £6m o gyllid ychwanegol y flwyddyn i gefnogi cynnydd o 11% yn y gyfradd fesul awr, gan ei chodi o’r £4.50 yr awr bresennol i £5 yr awr o fis Ebrill. Byddwn hefyd yn darparu £1.5m o gyllid ychwanegol i gefnogi’r gwaith o alinio cyfraddau cyllido Darpariaeth Feithrin y Cyfnod Sylfaen a gofal plant o dan y Cynnig Gofal Plant ac yn rhoi buddsoddiad o £3.5m ychwanegol mewn gofal plant Dechrau’n Deg.
Following a review of the hourly rate, I am announcing an additional £6m in funding per year to support an 11% increase in the hourly rate, raising it from the current £4.50 per hour to £5 per hour from April. We will also be providing additional funding of £1.5m to support the continued alignment of the Foundation Phase nursery and childcare funding rates under the Childcare Offer and an additional £3.5m investment in Flying Start childcare.
