Defnyddir yr arian ychwanegol i gynyddu nifer y lleoedd gofal plant sydd ar gael ledled Cymru, gan gynnwys yn Abertawe, Blaenau Gwent, Sir y Fflint, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Caerffili a Gwynedd ac Ynys Môn. Dyma’r saith awdurdod lleol a ddewiswyd i weithio gyda Llywodraeth Cymru i dreialu’r ddarpariaeth gofal plant newydd o fis Medi 2017\.   
  
Bydd yr arian yn helpu busnesau gofal plant i reoli’u harian yn well a’u helpu i gael mwy o’r cymorth a’r cyngor sy’n cael eu targedu gan wasanaeth helpu busnesau Llywodraeth Cymru, Busnes Cymru.   
  
Wrth siarad am yr arian, dywedodd Ysgrifennydd yr Economi: 


> “Un o brif flaenoriaethau Llywodraeth Cymru yw datblygu gwasanaeth gofal plant hyblyg, ac elfen bwysig o’r her yw sicrhau bod lleoedd gofal plant ar gael i deuluoedd ym mhob rhan o’r wlad.
> 
> “Mae’r arian ychwanegol rwy’n ei gyhoeddi heddiw yn helpu i ddarparu hyd at 450 o leoedd gofal plant ychwanegol yng Nghymru dros y ddwy flynedd nesaf. Bydd yn cael ei ddefnyddio hefyd i wella’r cymorth busnes sydd ar gael i’r sector gan gynnwys gwarchodwyr plant ac i helpu busnesau i ofalu am eu harian yn well a thyfu mewn ffordd gynaliadwy.
> 
> “Yn y pen draw, caiff ei ddefnyddio i gryfhau a datblygu cydnerthedd y sector gofal plant yng Nghymru fel ei fod mewn sefyllfa dda i allu darparu’r gofal plant hyblyg rydym yn gwybod sydd ei eisiau a’i angen ar deuluoedd ar draws Cymru.”

Dywedodd yr Ysgrifennydd dros Gymunedau a Phlant, Carl Sargeant:   



> “Trwy allu manteisio ar ofal plant fforddiadwy o’r ansawdd gorau, mae rhieni’n gallu gweithio.  Bydd hynny’n helpu’r economi i dyfu ac yn helpu i drechu tlodi a lleihau anghydraddoldebau. Mae’n rhoi cyfleoedd a manteision tymor hir hefyd i’n plant ac yn gwella’u cyfleoedd mewn bywyd.
> 
> “Rwy’n croesawu’r arian ychwanegol hwn ar gyfer gofal plant yng Nghymru ac rwy’n disgwyl ymlaen at weithio gydag Ysgrifennydd yr Economi a’r sector i gynyddu nifer y lleoedd gofal plant sydd ar gael.”

Bydd Busnes Cymru’n dechrau cynnig help proactif i fusnesau yn y sector gofal plant yn yr Hydref.

The additional money will be used to increase the number of childcare places available across Wales, including in Blaenau Gwent, Flintshire, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Swansea, Caerphilly and Gwynedd and Anglesey – the seven local authorities chosen to work with the Welsh Government to pilot the new childcare offer from September 2017\.   
  
The funding will also help childcare businesses to manage their finances and will ensure they are able to access more targeted support and advice from the Welsh Government’s business support service, Business Wales.  
  
Speaking about the funding, the Economy Secretary said:  



> “Developing a flexible childcare offer is a top priority for the Welsh Government, and one vital element of the challenge is ensuring the necessary childcare places are available to families right across the country.
> 
> “The additional funding I am announcing today will help to secure up to an additional 450 child care places across Wales over the next two years. It will also be used to improve the business support available to the sector including child minders and to help businesses improve how they manage their finances and grow sustainably.
> 
> “Ultimately it will be used to strengthen and develop the resilience of Wales’ childcare sector so it is well placed to deliver the flexible childcare offer that we know families right across Wales want and need.”

The Communities and Children Secretary, Carl Sargeant, said:  



> “Access to affordable, high quality childcare enables parents to work, thereby increasing economic growth and helping to tackle poverty and reduce inequalities. It also provides opportunities and long term benefits for our children and improves their life chances.
> 
> “I welcome this additional funding for childcare in Wales, and am looking forward to working with the Economy Secretary and the sector to increase the number of child care places available.”

Business Wales will begin offering proactive support to childcare sector businesses later this Autumn.
