A kind-hearted community has helped raise cash for a nursery so it can buy an interactive table tablet to boost children’s learning.

Cylch Meithrin Dolgellau, which caters for more than 70 children, has had the impressive piece of technology installed by Rawson Digital, which has one of its two offices in Y Felinheli, after the nursery received a huge grant from the Co-operative.

This has enabled the Smithfield Street nursery to download bilingual apps for the children to learn words and numbers in preparation for mainstream school, as well as playing educational games.

The grant was raised through the Co-operative Local Community Fund over a 12-month period, with Co-op members at the Dolgellau store choosing the nursery to benefit from a one per cent donation made by the supermarket chain every time one of its own branded products was purchased.

Arwel Griffiths, regional sales manager at Rawson Digital which has its head office on Wrexham Industrial Estate and a second office in Dinorwic Marina in Y Felinheli, near Bangor, helped advise and install the new table which has been a huge hit with the nursery’s children.
