Yn ystod y pandemig, roedd rhai o'r safonau hyn – yn enwedig y rhai sy'n ymwneud â lefelau staffio a chymwysterau staff – yn fwy o her i leoliadau gofal plant. Gwnaethom ymateb drwy lacio rhai o'r safonau dros dro er mwyn lleddfu'r pwysau ar ddarparwyr gofal plant. Rhoddodd hyn gyfle i ni roi dan brawf rai o'r newidiadau rydym yn eu cynnig nawr ac i ddysgu o hynny.
During the pandemic, some of these standards – especially those around staffing levels and qualifications of staff – posed greater challenges for childcare settings. We responded by introducing temporary relaxations to some of the standards to ease pressure on childcare providers. This gave us an opportunity to test and learn from some of the changes we are now proposing.
