13. Safbwynt Mudiad Ysgolion Meithrin: • Ein nod yw rhoi cyfle i bob plentyn fanteisio ar addysg feithrin Gymraeg, waeth beth fo'i angen, ac 'rydym yn ymrwymo i roi sylw dyladwy i bob plentyn ag anghenion ychwanegol. • Rydym yn cydweithio â'r Cynllun Cyfeirio lleol ac asiantaethau eraill er mwyn sicrhau bod cymorth a chefnogaeth ar gael i'r plentyn a'i deulu. • Rydym yn cydnabod bod anghenion y plentyn yn newid ac yn datblygu'n barhaus, ac yn ymrwymo i sicrhau bod ein darpariaeth yn cyfarfod â'i anghenion. • Parchwn yr egwyddor o gyfrinachedd ym mhob agwedd o faes anghenion arbennig. • Mae un aelod o'r staff yn gyfrifol am sicrhau bod y cylch yn gofalu am anghenion y plant hyn, a bydd ar gael i drafod â rhieni os bydd angen.

14. Mudiad Ysgolion Meithrin • Our aim is to give all children an opportunity to benefit from Welsh medium education, whatever their needs, and we are committed to giving due attention to every child with additional needs. • We co-operate with the local Referral Scheme and other agencies in order to ensure that help and support is available for the child and family. • We recognise that a child's needs change and develop continually, and are committed to ensuring that our provision meets his needs. • We respect the principle of confidentiality in all aspects of the field of special needs. • One member of staff is responsible for ensuring that the cylch cares for the needs of these children and is available for discussions with parents if necessary.

15. ‘’Every child has the right to the best possible start in life. When a child has special needs, it is vital that these needs are correctly identified as early as possible. It is equally important that effective early intervention is available for the child, together with emotional and practical support for the parents’’(Welsh Assembly Government:2004)

16. ‘Mae gan bob plentyn yr hawl i’r cychwyn gorau posibl mewn bywyd. Pan fo gan blentyn anghenion arbennig, mae’n hanfodol bod yr anghenion hynny yn cael eu hadnabod yn gywir mor gynnar â phosibl. Mae’r un mor bwysig fod ymyrraeth effeithiol cynnar ar gael i’r plentyn ynghyd â chefnogaeth emosiynol ac ymarferol i’r rhieni’ (Llywodraeth y Cynulliad 2004).
