English: I am indeed aware that there have been a range of communication challenges for local authorities, parents and providers in relation to the offer to date, and I've considered carefully the findings of the evaluation report on the first year of early implementation, covering many of these points. So, we will be launching a national communications campaign regarding the offer ahead of it being available nationally in 2020. Alongside this, as Janet has referred to, we'll continue to work with the family information service to ensure that details about both this offer, and also other, wider childcare support, are available to parents as needed. Each local authority has a family information service, which acts as the first point of contact for advice and information on local services for families and carers. It is, of course, also important to make sure parents have access to information about childcare at the point when they make decisions about jobs and careers. So, we've been working with the Department for Work and Pensions to ensure that employment advisers have that information, as well as with our own Welsh Government-funded employability programmes. So, given that all of this work is already under way and that we have a service dedicated to providing families with advice on their childcare choices, I don't see that we need to add additional duties in this regard by way of this Bill, so we won't be supporting this amendment.
Welsh: Rwy'n ymwybodol yn wir fod amrywiaeth o heriau cyfathrebu wedi wynebu awdurdodau lleol, rhieni a darparwyr o ran y cynnig hyd yma, ac rwyf wedi ystyried canfyddiadau'r adroddiad gwerthuso ar gyfer blwyddyn gyntaf y gweithredwyr cynnar, sy'n cynnwys llawer o'r pwyntiau hyn, yn ofalus iawn. Felly, byddwn yn lansio ymgyrch gyfathrebu genedlaethol ar y cynnig cyn ei fod ar gael yn genedlaethol yn 2020. Ochr yn ochr â hyn, fel y mae Janet wedi dweud, byddwn yn parhau i weithio gyda'r gwasanaeth gwybodaeth i deuluoedd i sicrhau bod manylion am y cynnig, a chymorth gofal plant ehangach arall, ar gael i rieni yn ôl yr angen. Mae gwasanaeth gwybodaeth i deuluoedd, sy'n gweithredu fel y pwynt cyswllt cyntaf ar gyfer cyngor a gwybodaeth am wasanaethau lleol ar gyfer teuluoedd a gofalwyr gan bob awdurdod lleol. Wrth gwrs, mae'n bwysig sicrhau hefyd fod gan rieni fynediad at wybodaeth am ofal plant ar y pwynt pan fyddant yn gwneud penderfyniadau ynghylch swyddi a gyrfaoedd. Felly, buom yn gweithio gyda'r Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau i sicrhau bod y wybodaeth honno gan gynghorwyr cyflogaeth, yn ogystal â'n rhaglenni cyflogadwyedd ein hunain a ariennir gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Felly, o ystyried bod yr holl waith hwn eisoes ar y gweill a bod gennym wasanaeth pwrpasol ar gyfer rhoi cyngor i deuluoedd ar eu dewisiadau gofal plant, nid wyf yn gweld bod angen inni ychwanegu dyletswyddau ychwanegol yn hyn o beth drwy gyfrwng y Bil hwn, felly ni fyddwn yn cefnogi'r gwelliant hwn.
English: I would like to proceed to the vote.

English: The next group of amendments is group 14 and these amendments relate to workforce planning. Amendment 34 is the lead and only amendment in this group, and I call on Janet Finch-Saunders to move the amendment. Janet Finch-Saunders.
Welsh: Y grŵp nesaf o welliannau yw grŵp 14 ac mae'r gwelliannau yma'n ymwneud â chynllunio'r gweithlu. Gwelliant 34 yw'r prif a'r unig welliant yn y grŵp ac rydw i'n galw ar Janet Finch-Saunders i gynnig y gwelliant. Janet Finch-Saunders.

English: Amendment 3, Minister.
Welsh: Gwelliant 3, Gweinidog.
English: I move formally.
Welsh: Rwy'n cynnig yn ffurfiol.
English: The question is that amendment 3 be agreed. Does any Member object? Amendment 3 is therefore agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 3? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? Derbyniwyd gwelliant 3, felly.
English: The next group is group 15, which is the final group, and these amendments relate to commencement. The lead and only amendment in this group is amendment 36, and I call on Janet Finch-Saunders to move the amendment and to speak to it. Janet Finch-Saunders.
Welsh: Grŵp 15 yw'r grŵp nesaf, a'r grŵp olaf, ac mae'r gwelliannau yma yn ymwneud â chychwyn. Gwelliant 36 yw'r prif welliant, a'r unig welliant, ac rwy'n galw ar Janet Finch-Saunders is gyflwyno'r gwelliant ac i siarad iddo. Janet Finch-Saunders.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. Amendment 36 has been retabled on a matter of principle. At Stage 2, my colleague Suzy Davies AM was very clear to the Minister that there should be a power for the Assembly to halt the actions of the Welsh Government momentarily if we believe that it has acted outside of its powers. Section 12 (3) (b) of the Bill allows the Welsh Government to make a number of provisions in connection with the Bill's coming into force, and this amendment gives the Assembly that very same opportunity - for the Welsh Government to explain their actions if questions are asked. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Mae gwelliant 36 wedi cael ei ailgyflwyno fel mater o egwyddor. Yng Nghyfnod 2, dywedodd fy nghyd-Aelod, Suzy Davies AC, yn glir iawn wrth y Gweinidog y dylai fod pŵer gan y Cynulliad i atal gweithredu gan Lywodraeth Cymru dros dro os credwn ei bod wedi gweithredu y tu allan i'w phwerau. Mae adran 12 (3) (b) o'r Bil yn caniatáu i Lywodraeth Cymru wneud nifer o ddarpariaethau mewn perthynas â'r Bil yn dod i rym, ac mae'r gwelliant hwn yn rhoi'r un cyfle'n union i'r Cynulliad - i Lywodraeth Cymru egluro ei gweithredoedd os gofynnir cwestiynau. Diolch.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. Can I urge colleagues on these benches and across them, 'Let's keep those rebellions happening in Westminster and not here'? [ Interruption.] Even though it's late in the day. And can I just thank, with this final amendment, those who have moved amendments and applied good scrutiny to this stage of the Bill? This issue, indeed, did come up during Stages 1 and 2. In fact, it was this exact amendment, so my response may be entirely foreseeable. The making of commencement Orders is not normally subject to any procedure as they bring into force matters that the National Assembly has already approved. The Welsh Government's position on this issue has already been clarified. I see no reason, therefore, to deviate from the current convention in relation to commencement Orders.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. A gaf fi annog cyd-Aelodau ar y meinciau hyn ac ar eu traws, 'Gadewch inni gadw'r gwrthryfeloedd hynny i ddigwydd yn San Steffan ac nid yma'? [ Torri ar draws.] Er ei bod yn hwyr yn y dydd. A gaf fi ddiolch, gyda'r gwelliant olaf hwn, i'r rhai sydd wedi cynnig gwelliannau ac wedi craffu'n dda ar y cam hwn o daith y Bil? Yn wir, cododd y mater hwn yn ystod Cyfnodau 1 a 2. Yr union welliant hwn ydoedd yn wir, felly efallai y bydd fy ymateb yn gwbl rhagweladwy. Nid yw gwneud Gorchmynion cychwyn fel arfer yn ddarostyngedig i unrhyw weithdrefn gan eu bod yn dod â materion i rym y mae'r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol wedi'u cymeradwyo eisoes. Mae safbwynt Llywodraeth Cymru ar y mater hwn wedi'i egluro eisoes. Ni welaf reswm, felly, i wyro oddi wrth y confensiwn presennol mewn perthynas â Gorchmynion cychwyn.
English: Thank you very much, Minister - I appreciate your kindness on this one. Yes, it is about an Order that's bringing forward something the Assembly's agreed, but we need to make sure you're doing it properly, and that's the tiny little bit of extra scrutiny that we were asking for here. I'm almost sure that, in 100 per cent of occasions, there will be no problems, but you never know, and that is what we as parliamentarians need to keep an eye on.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Weinidog - rwy'n gwerthfawrogi eich caredigrwydd ar hyn. Ydy, mae'n ymwneud â Gorchymyn sy'n cyflwyno rhywbeth y mae'r Cynulliad wedi'i gytuno, ond mae angen inni wneud yn siŵr eich bod yn ei wneud yn gywir, a dyna'r tamaid bach o waith craffu ychwanegol yr oeddem yn gofyn amdano yma. Rwyf bron yn sicr, 100 gwaith allan o gant, na fydd problemau, ond ni wyddoch, a dyna sydd angen inni fel seneddwyr gadw llygad arno.
English: Thank you, Suzy. I think we have now jointly exhausted the forbearance of all our colleagues. I shall not be supporting this amendment.
Welsh: Diolch i chi, Suzy. Rwy'n credu bellach ein bod ar y cyd wedi dihysbyddu amynedd ein cyd-Aelodau. Ni fyddaf yn cefnogi'r gwelliant hwn.
English: It's time for my final speech now. We'll move to the vote, but, before I do so, I'd like to thank you, Llywydd, and the Minister, and all colleagues for your patience and graciousness during our amendments. We've tabled these with the best of intentions because we firmly believe that we want our children across Wales to be able to access this offer and, more importantly, we want to see our parents being able to get back into work, to get back into education and to get back into training. So, we have done our best to scrutinise this, and I'd like to obviously thank my colleague Suzy Davies for her work on this also. Diolch yn fawr.
Welsh: Mae'n bryd i mi wneud fy araith derfynol yn awr. Fe symudwn i bleidlais, ond cyn i mi wneud hynny, hoffwn ddiolch i chi, Lywydd, ac i'r Gweinidog, a'r holl gyd-Aelodau am eich amynedd a'ch haelioni yn ystod ein gwelliannau. Rydym wedi cyflwyno'r rhain gyda'r bwriadau gorau oherwydd ein bod yn credu'n gryf ein bod eisiau i'n plant ledled Cymru allu manteisio ar y cynnig hwn ac yn bwysicach, rydym am weld ein rhieni'n gallu dychwelyd i'r gwaith, dychwelyd i addysg a dychwelyd i hyfforddiant. Felly, rydym wedi gwneud ein gorau i graffu ar hyn, a hoffwn ddiolch wrth gwrs i fy nghyd-Aelod Suzy Davies am ei gwaith ar hyn hefyd. Diolch yn fawr.
English: The question is that amendment 36 be agreed. Does any Member object? [ Objection.] We'll move to a vote, therefore. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 18, no abstentions, 25 against. Amendment 36 is not agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 36? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? [ Gwrthwynebiad.] Symudwn i'r bleidlais felly. Agor y bleidlais. Cau'r bleidlais. O blaid 18, neb yn ymatal, 25 yn erbyn. Gwrthodwyd gwelliant 36.
English: It's a pleasure to formally move this amendment.
Welsh: Mae'n bleser gen i i symud hwn yn ffurfiol.
English: The question is that amendment 5 be agreed. Does any Member object? [ Objection.] We'll move to a vote on this amendment. Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 17, no abstentions, 25 against. Therefore, amendment 5 is not agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn felly: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 5? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? [ Gwrthwynebiad.] Symudwn i bleidlais ar y gwelliant yma. Agor y bleidlais. Cau'r bleidlais. O blaid 17, neb yn ymatal, 25 yn erbyn. Gwrthodwyd gwelliant 5.
English: We have reached the end of our Stage 3 consideration of the Childcare Funding (Wales) Bill. I declare that all sections of the Bill are deemed agreed. That brings today's proceedings to a close.
Welsh: Dyna ni, felly, yn dod at ddiwedd ein hystyriaeth o'r Cyfnod 3 o'r Bil Cyllido Gofal Plant (Cymru). Rwy'n datgan y bernir pob adran o'r Bil wedi eu derbyn. Daw hynny â thrafodion heddiw i ben.
English: Good morning. We'll first turn to the foundation phase in primary schools, and you told this committee last year that only a quarter of those primary schools were providing the foundation phase in accordance with its principles and the ethos behind this phase. Is the picture improving by this year?
Welsh: Bore da. Gan droi'n gyntaf at y cyfnod sylfaen yn yr ysgolion cynradd, yr oeddech chi'n dweud wrth y pwyllgor yma'r llynedd mai dim ond chwarter o'r ysgolion cynradd a oedd yn darparu'r cyfnod sylfaen yn unol â'i egwyddorion a'r ethos sydd y tu ôl i'r cyfnod yma. A ydy'r darlun yna yn gwella erbyn y flwyddyn yma?
English: Yes, it is starting to improve, but I will ask Claire to provide you with a little bit more information on that.
Welsh: Ydy, mae e'n dechrau gwella, ond gwnaf i ofyn i Claire roi tipyn bach mwy o wybodaeth ichi am hynny.
English: Having said that, over half of the schools still need to improve. It has improved in three quarters of those that needed improving this last year, but half of them still need to improve, don't they?
Welsh: Wedi dweud hynny, mae dal hanner yr ysgolion angen gwella. Mae wedi gwella mewn tri chwarter ohonyn nhw a oedd angen gwella'r flwyddyn ddiwethaf yma, ond mae hanner ohonyn nhw'n dal angen gwella.
English: Okay. But you're confident that this trajectory is going the right way with this.
Welsh: Ocê. Ond, rydych chi'n hyderus bod y strwythur yma'n mynd - ein bod ni'n mynd ar y llwybr cywir efo hyn, felly.
English: Okay, thank you. Turning to the primary schools themselves, what we often see is that it's difficult for a school to move from that 'good' category to 'excellent'. Do you see that as one of the challenges that you need to overcome? How do you go about that?
Welsh: Ocê, diolch. Gan droi at yr ysgolion cynradd eu hunain, beth rydym ni'n ei weld yn aml iawn ydy ei bod hi'n anodd i ysgol symud o'r categori 'da' i 'ragorol'. A ydych chi'n gweld hynny fel un o'r heriau sydd angen eu gorchfygu? Sut mae mynd ati i wneud hynny?
English: Do you see, therefore, that there's a connection between the schools that are starting to use the methods of the new curriculum? Is it those who move on to become good and excellent?
Welsh: A ydych chi'n gweld bod yna gysylltiad, felly, rhwng yr ysgolion sydd yn barod yn dechrau defnyddio dulliau'r cwricwlwm newydd? Ai'r rheini sydd yn symud ymlaen i fod yn dda ac yn rhagorol, o gymharu â'r rhai sydd ddim?
English: Certainly. We see that link very clearly. Those schools that are concentrating on the teaching and learning, they're the ones that are creating an environment that encourages children to take an interest and incentivises them to work harder, to take an interest in their work in the classroom, and those are the schools that are producing children who are independent, who have great thinking skills - sharp thinking skills, and who are ready for the challenge and are keen to take up that challenge of learning for the future.
Welsh: Yn sicr. Rŷm ni'n gweld y cyswllt yna yn glir iawn. Yr ysgolion hynny sydd yn canolbwyntio ar y dysgu a'r addysgu, nhw sydd yn creu awyrgylch sydd yn annog plant i gymryd diddordeb ac yn eu symbylu nhw i weithio'n galetach, cymryd diddordeb yn eu gwaith yn y dosbarth, a'r rheini ydy'r ysgolion sydd yn cynhyrchu plant sydd yn annibynnol, sydd â sgiliau meddwl miniog ac sydd yn barod ar gyfer yr her, ac yn awyddus ar gyfer yr her o ddysgu i'r dyfodol.
English: Just in terms of the difference between 'good' and 'excellent', are we talking about different reasons for the location of the early years settings?
Welsh: Jest ynglŷn â'r gwahaniaeth rhwng 'da' a 'rhagorol' gyda'r ysgolion, a ydym ni'n sôn am resymau gwahanol i'r lleoliadau blynyddoedd cynnar?
English: No, it's the same type of thing. In general, you expect an excellent school to have children making more progress than a good school - their progress is at a faster rate. In non-maintained settings, you expect them to develop the same sort of skills - the skills to be independent, thinking skills, oracy and physical skills at that age.
Welsh: Nac ydym. Yr un math o beth, yntefe? Hynny yw, yn fras, rŷch chi'n disgwyl ysgol ragorol i fod yn lle mae'r plant yn gwneud mwy o gynnydd nac mewn ysgol dda - mae eu cynnydd nhw yn gyflymach. Mewn lleoliadau nas cynhelir, byddech chi'n disgwyl iddyn nhw ddatblygu yr un math o beth: sgiliau bod yn annibynnol, sgiliau meddwl, llafaredd a sgiliau corfforol hefyd yn yr oed yna.
English: That is very good news. And this is despite the fact that there is additional pressure and additional paperwork that is required, and also the financial constraints.
Welsh: Mae hynny'n newyddion da, onid ydy? Ac mae hyn er gwaethaf y pwysau ychwanegol a'r gwaith papur ychwanegol sydd angen ei wneud, ac er gwaethaf y pwysau cyllidol.
English: Yes, that progress is the progress that we've seen in the primary sector specifically. But you raise an important point about the pressure on schools, and that is why we have been working, it is over a year ago now, with 15 bodies - the consortia, the authorities, the unions, and the Welsh Government - to look at the burden of work on teachers. It's important for us to realise, in looking forward and taking these changes forward in a way that is purposeful, that we move forward in a way that takes time to pilot and trial ideas, and that we don't overload the system.
Welsh: Ydy. Y cynnydd yna yw'r cynnydd rŷm ni wedi'i weld yn y cynradd yn benodol. Ond rydych chi'n codi pwynt pwysig ynglŷn â'r pwysau ar ysgolion, a dyna pam ŷm ni wedi bod yn gweithio, dros flwyddyn yn ôl nawr, gyda 15 o gyrff - y consortia, yr awdurdodau, yr undebau a Llywodraeth Cymru - i edrych ar faich gwaith athrawon. Felly, mae hynny yn bwysig, ac mae hi'n bwysig inni sylweddoli wrth symud ymlaen ein bod ni yn cymryd y newidiadau yma mewn ffordd bwrpasol, ein bod ni'n symud ymlaen mewn ffordd sydd yn cymryd amser i dreialu a pheilota syniadau, ac ein bod ni ddim yn gorlwytho'r system.
English: There is a concern, however, about children's reading skills in the primary age. Could you say a little more about that, please?
Welsh: Mae yna bryder, fodd bynnag, ynglŷn â sgiliau darllen plant yn yr oed cynradd, onid oes? A fedrwch chi ddweud tipyn bach mwy am hynny?
English: I'll ask Claire to say something, but, of course, reading skills are vital to be able to develop your education as you progress and as you get older. I think one of the things that's important is to remember that reading skills can be developed throughout your life. It's not something that you learn in the primary age only, but it's through key stage 2, for example, and through to key stage 3. There are skills to be developed all the time.
Welsh: Gwnaf i ofyn i Claire ddweud rhywbeth, ond wrth gwrs mae sgiliau darllen yn hanfodol i fedru datblygu eich addysg fel rydych chi yn mynd yn hŷn. Rydw i'n meddwl mai un o'r pethau sy'n bwysig yw cofio bod medrau darllen yn gallu cael eu datblygu drwy eich oes chi. Nid rhywbeth ŷch chi'n ei ddysgu yn y cyfnod cynradd yn unig, ond drwy gyfnod allweddol 2, er enghraifft, a drwyddo i gyfnod allweddol 3. Mae yna sgiliau i'w datblygu drwy'r amser.
English: You mentioned in the beginning that there was a lack of leadership, but what about the training that teachers receive in the first instance? Shouldn't they be arriving at these schools with the skills to teach reading, rather than depending on the leader to give that direction?
Welsh: Ar y dechrau, roeddech chi'n sôn ei fod o'n fater o, efallai, ddiffyg arweiniad, ond beth am yr hyfforddiant mae'r athrawon yn ei gael yn y lle cyntaf? Oni ddylen nhw fod yn cyrraedd yr ysgolion efo'r sgiliau i ddysgu darllen, yn hytrach na dibynnu ar yr arweinydd i roi'r cyfeiriad cywir?
English: Do we need to change the way in which they're trained as well?
Welsh: A oes eisiau newid y ffordd maen nhw'n cael eu hyfforddi hefyd?
English: I think that's an important point. As you know, initial teacher training has changed significantly in Wales recently and, certainly, we will be keeping an eye on teaching these core subjects, such as learning to read. I think we will be looking at what providers of initial teacher training are doing in the thematic work on reading.
Welsh: Rwy'n meddwl bod hwnnw'n bwynt pwysig. Fel rydych chi'n gwybod, mae hyfforddiant cychwynnol athrawon wedi newid yn sylweddol yng Nghymru yn ddiweddar ac, yn sicr, mi fyddwn ni'n cadw golwg ar ddysgu'r pethau creiddiol yma, fel dysgu darllen. Rwy'n meddwl y byddwn ni'n edrych ar beth mae darparwyr hyfforddiant cychwynnol athrawon yn ei wneud yn y gwaith thematig ar ddarllen.
English: Okay. And then, just to look at the schools that are in the categories of special measures or significant improvement, do those schools move from being at the bottom of the table quickly enough?
Welsh: Ocê. A wedyn, jest i edrych ar yr ysgolion sydd yn y categorïau mesurau arbennig neu angen gwella arwyddocaol, a ydy'r ysgolion yn symud allan o fod ar waelod y tabl yn ddigon cyflym?
