	Windmill Under 5’s achieved outstanding results in our recent Ofsted and Social Services report, which greatly reflects all the hard work and the calibre of staff we are lucky enough to have running this popular play group, especially after undertaking a recent move in premises. In particular we were very pleased to receive satisfactory results in promoting all the desirable outcomes for children’s learning, and have been recommended that the next inspection takes place within 2 - 4 years. We received particular praise for our programme to promote children’s knowledge and understanding of the world, and creative development.

 Anyone interested is very welcome to come and visit us. We can only accept children into the group after their third birthday, but younger children are welcome, if their parents are willing to stay with them.[[File:Leanda.jpg|thumb|Sam and Alex rushed to give Leanda a hug when they spotted her at the fete.]]

 Quite a few of our ‘old members' moved onto ‘higher education' at the beginning of the autumn term and we wish them all every success. Most of the Committee also ‘moved on' and we would like to express our thanks to them for all the hard work they put in to keep the playgroup running. We would also like to welcome our new assistants Sandra and Jackie! This was a very hectic first term, a week of walks (in spite of inclement weather), activity days and a very enjoyable Harvest Festival and Christmas time.
