City childcare provider wins top award less than a year after opening
The accolade recognises the holiday camp's approach to childcare — and marks a milestone for the organisation's first Welsh site in Newport, which was launched in late summer 2024. Founded in London in 2021 to address the growing need for high-quality childcare after the pandemic, Camp Fantastic's Welsh base is at Rougemont School, Newport. 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.'
