What your child will need at Pre-School
Please make sure that your child is dressed in clothing suitable for the various activities at pre-school. They will go outside in all weathers to play and explore. In the summer, please include a sun hat and apply sun-cream to your child before pre-school.
Most children wear the pre-school uniform and the cost of one t-shirt and a drawstring bag for spare clothes, plimsolls etc is included in your registration fee. Children do not have to wear the uniform, but it does save their good clothes and having to decide what to wear each day. Additional T-shirts and sweatshirts with the pre-school logo and replacement draw string bags are available to buy from the pre-school by using the Order Form which can be downloaded from our website.
Footwear, in particular, must be safe, as your child might be playing on a climbing frame and slide, sit and ride toys or use our colourful parachute. Closed in shoes are a must to save them getting scrapped when playing racing games or caught when using climbing equipment. We request that all children bring black plimsolls or slippers in a bag, both clearly named, in which to change into at pre-school.
It would be helpful if cardigans, coats, hats and shoes were all clearly labelled, as children do not always recognise their own things!
If your child has pierced ears, please ensure that they only wear stud style earrings to pre-school.
Nappies
If your child is not yet potty or toilet trained, please bring nappies and baby wipes for your child and let staff know when you are toilet training so they can support you. A spare change of clothes is advisable. If a child has an ‘accident’, the child will be treated with sympathy and understanding. If you have any concerns, please speak to the session supervisor.
