Your role
At Windmills we actively encourage the involvement of parents and/or carers in a variety of ways. We value the information that you give us about your child and we encouage you to talk to your child's key worker regularly. We also encourage parents and/or carers to stay for the occasional session. This helps the staff to maintain a high adult/child ratio and also gives you an opportunity to see what your child ‘gets up to!’ The Committee also welcomes help and parents are certainly welcome to come along to the half term meetings.
