The Flying Start scheme provides intensive support services for children up to three-years-old and their families in certain areas of Powys .

Help includes part-time funded childcare for two-year-olds, an enhanced Health Visiting service, access to parenting programmes and support for children to learn to talk and communicate.

Families in certain postcode areas of Welshpool and Newtown can now check if they are eligible for the Welsh Government funded scheme and apply for a place by visiting the Powys County Council website.
