The easiest way to get involved in the life of the centre is to talk to us and tell us what we do well and what we could do better. There are many ways you can do this throughout the year including completing questionnaires, taking part in consultation events, commenting on your child’s profile, completing a comment/suggestion form or talking to us directly. We’re always happy to hear your views and will keep you informed as to how we use them.
