Welcome to Aberporth Bilingual Playgroup

For over 35 years, our bilingual playgroup has been part of the Aberporth community, providing a friendly and welcoming place where children can play, learn, explore and grow in Welsh and English. A bilingual playgroup is a lovely way for children to pick up both languages naturally, through songs, stories and play.

From our Bilingual Playgroup and Forest School to Breakfast Club, After School Club and Holiday Childcare, we provide fun and engaging experiences for children aged 2–11. Our bilingual playgroup in Aberporth welcomes children aged 2–4, and the same bilingual approach carries on through every club. Visit our bilingual playgroup near Cardigan to see it for yourself, or ask about a bilingual playgroup place for your child.
