Mike said.. ‘This investment by the Welsh Government is to be
welcomed. Early years work with young children is vital to ensuring a strong
start in life. This commitment from the Welsh Government shows it understands
the importance of the Early Years. The Swansea Pilot Project in Morriston will
make a significant contribution to the life of the young people in this area. I
look forward to visiting the project in the coming months to see the work
undertaken’
