There used to be a private day nursery called "Old School House Nursery" named after and housed in the original, stone Church school, built by Colonel Llewellyn in 1898.
There are several playing fields in the village, the most recent of which was created as a part of a section 106 agreement between the council and the developers of the Cavendish Park housing estate.
As a result of subsequent development, this field became "landlocked" between housing estates, with no vehicle access or parking, or indeed any facilities to allow the field to be used by local sports teams.
It takes children from 6 to 16 years of age and plays as a member of Bridgend & District Football League, with teams in the mini-football and junior sections.
It is home to the Bokhara Brasserie, voted 'Best Indian Restaurant in Wales' at the British Curry Awards in 2008 and 2009.
