Why Settings Choose Sylwi for Welsh Curriculum Tracking

Tracking the Curriculum for Wales shouldn't mean more paperwork. Sylwi is Welsh Curriculum software designed by people who understand Welsh childcare—the inspections, the language requirements, the reality of a busy setting.

When you capture an observation in Sylwi, the clever bit happens automatically. Each moment you record links directly to the Four Purposes and CfW Areas of Learning. No spreadsheets. No guesswork. No staying late to "catch up on curriculum mapping."

What makes Sylwi different:
Built Welsh-first

The interface works in Welsh or English. Your staff can work in their preferred language without mental translation.

CfW mapping that makes sense

See at a glance how each child is progressing across all Areas of Learning. Spot gaps before inspectors do.

Evidence CIW actually wants

Generate curriculum tracking reports that show exactly how you're delivering the Four Purposes. Takes seconds, not hours.

No training headaches

If your team can use WhatsApp, they can use Sylwi. Most settings are up and running in a day.

Over 100 Welsh settings already use Sylwi to simplify their Welsh Curriculum tracking. They spend less time on admin and more time with children—which is rather the point.

Built in Wales, for Wales

Sylwi isn't English software with Welsh translations bolted on. It's Welsh Curriculum software created in Wales, by a team who understand what Welsh settings actually need.

We work closely with Mudiad Meithrin and settings across Wales to make sure Sylwi delivers. The interface works fully in Welsh. The curriculum tracking follows the Curriculum for Wales framework. The compliance features match what CIW inspectors look for.

When regulations change, we update Sylwi. When you need support, you get someone who knows Welsh childcare—not a call centre reading a script.
