Parental involvement
A successful parent/school partnership is built on trust, respect and a shared vision of early years education.
Our parents are a vital part of the Ready Steady Go community. Our educational programme is enriched by parents sharing with us their time, experience, skills, culture and knowledge. It is important to us that we have a productive and mutually respectful partnership with parents.
Parent reps
Each centre has two parent reps per academic year. They meet with the principal and the lead educator once a term to share parent feedback, raise questions and help guide decisions about the school.

Enriching the curriculum
Our curriculum is enriched by our diverse and inclusive community – parents are encouraged to come in throughout the academic year to share and celebrate cultural festivals and traditions with their child’s class.
Volunteer for Forest School
Parents are welcome to join their child for Forest School sessions, where the children learn about the natural world through exploration, problem solving and working as a team. Help build dens, identify plant species, hunt for mini-beasts and spend a morning connecting with nature.
Mystery reader
Parents are invited in to take over story time and surprise their child as the Mystery reader.
Join us on outings
Parents can volunteer to join their child’s class on special outings, such as a museum, a theatre show, the fire station or a nature reserve.
Coffee Mornings
Our parent coffee mornings give parents the opportunity to meet and catch-up with other parents from across the Ready Steady Go community and chat informally with the principal.
