What shall I bring to Nursery?
In Nursery the children do not need to wear school uniform. Please wear suitable clothes for indoor and outdoor play, according to the weather. This will include sun hats in the summer and hat and gloves for the winter. We encourage the children to help with dressing and undressing, so clothes that are easy to take on and off e.g. jogging bottoms, pull-on tops, velcro shoes are ideal.
We ask for a spare clothes bag that consists of at least two changes of clothes including underwear, which is left in school. If your child is in nappies, please supply nappies, wipes and nappy sacks.
We ask children to have an appropriate/waterproof coat and wellies.
Please name everything!
Please can long hair be tied back and no jewellery except small stud earrings.
