Heddiw rydym yn rhannu’r Crynodeb o’r Ymatebion i’r ymgynghoriad ar eithriadau cofrestru gofal plant a’r Cynllun Cymeradwyo Gwirfoddol arfaethedig, ynghyd â’r camau nesaf.
Diolch am eich cyfraniadau i lunio Gorchymyn Eithriadau Gwarchod Plant a Gofal Dydd (Dirymu a Darpariaethau Trosiannol) (Cymru) 2026 (“Gorchymyn 2026”) a datblygu Cynllun Cymeradwyo Gwirfoddol.
Mae’r newidiadau i’r eithriadau wedi’u nodi yng Ngorchymyn 2026 sydd wedi’i osod heddiw. Rhagwelir y bydd Gorchymyn 2026 yn cael ei wneud ar 1 Ebrill 2026, yn dod i rym ar 1 Ebrill 2027 ac yn cael ei orfodi’n llawn erbyn 1 Ebrill 2028 ar ôl cyfnod pontio blwyddyn.
Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn bwriadu cyhoeddi canllawiau i gefnogi dealltwriaeth o Orchymyn 2026 cyn iddo ddod i rym.
Ar gyfer y Cynllun Cymeradwyo Gwirfoddol, cam nesaf y gwaith fydd mireinio manylion y cynllun gan ystyried yr ymatebion i’r ymgynghoriad. Byddwn yn gweithio tuag at ddyddiad gweithredu o Ebrill 2027.
Byddwn yn parhau â’n dull cydweithredol gyda rhanddeiliaid wrth i’r gwaith symud i’r camau nesaf.

Today we are sharing the Summary of Responses to the consultation on childcare registration exceptions and the proposed Voluntary Approval Scheme, along with our next steps.
Thank you for your contributions shaping the Child Minding and Day Care Exceptions (Revocation and Transitional Provisions) (Wales) Order 2026 (“the 2026 Order”) and the development of a Voluntary Approval Scheme.
The changes to the exceptions are set out in the 2026 Order which has been laid today. It is anticipated that the 2026 Order will be made on 1 April 2026, come into force on 1 April 2027 and fully enforceable by 1 April 2028 following a one‑year transitional period.
The Welsh Government intends to publish guidance to support understanding of the 2026 Order before it comes into force.
For the Voluntary Approval Scheme, the next stage of work will be to refine the details of the scheme taking account of the responses to the consultation. We will be working towards an implementation date of April 2027.
We will continue our collaborative approach with stakeholders as the work moves into the next stages.
