I have a couple of squash plants growing really well up a bamboo
wigwam.
They have produced loads of flowers, and then start to develop small
yellow squash. However, the squash don't grow more than 2-3 inches in
diameter, then stop. The earliest ones have now gone a bit brown, so i
took them off. There are about 10-12 other squash still on the plant.
Are there too many? They are growing in our own compost in a raised
bed. How do i make them grow bigger?

As Steve says, lack of fertilization. Until the bees show up, you should
take the flowers that are at the end of the long stems and poke them
gently into the flowers that are attached to the branches of the plant.

Hang on, if they are already 2-3in they have been fertilised, you wouldn't
get that if you had a pollination problem. The word "squash" means
different things to different people but I will take a stab in the dark and
say blossom end rot.

Do they turn brownish and go soft and sink in starting at the flower end?
Do they then stop growing or fall off the vine? If so then you have BEM
caused by a deficiency of Calcium. This can be due to erratic watering or
lack of calcium in the soil. Google "blossom end rot" for a zillion hits.
