City childcare provider wins top award less than a year after opening

It caters for children aged four to 12 from across the local area.
The Newport site has seen attendance more than double since opening.
Youngsters can enjoy a programme which ranges from fencing and circus skills to origami and science workshops.
Each activity is delivered by qualified teachers and instructors.
Camp Fanastic founder Lizzie Wraith said: 'Children leave us braver, smarter, and happier. And the feedback from families in Wales has been incredible.'
