What does my child need?
There are a few things that your child will need to bring to Nursery every day:
- Send them in clothes that you don't mind them getting messy. Children spend time outside everyday and have access to lots of art, design and sensory play opportunities.
- Clothes they can manage themselves, such as elasticated waisted trousers and shoes with a Velcro strap or slip on. This helps your child develop their independence ready for moving into Reception.
- At least one full set of spare clothes: top to toe!
- Nappies, if your child wears them, wipes and cream.
- A named bag to keep it all in.
- Any medication your child requires for long term medical conditions, such as asthma inhalers, which must be handed to an adult for safe keeping. Staff will complete a care plan form with you before this medication can be administered. We do not administer medication which your child requires for short term illnesses, such as antibiotics.
- A pair of slippers, named.
- A coat, named.
Summer extras: 
- A sun hat, named.
- Apply sun cream before sending your child to Nursery. If they are spending a full day with us they will need some extra in their bag, which staff will reapply during the day.
- Appropriate clothes which will protect them from the sun, such as a long sleeved top.
Winter extras:
- A warm coat, named.
- Hat and scarf, named
Optional extras.
We'll provide these if you don't want to send your child with their own:
- Wellies.
- Slippers.
- Waterproof coat and trousers.
- Gloves.
- Sunhats
Please do not bring, unless arranged with a member of staff:
- Food or drink. We will provide everything your child will need during their session. We have a number of children who attend our nursery who have severe food allergies, sending in food with your child can pose a significant risk to these children.
- Toys. We have plenty to keep the children busy, which usually means that anything from home will quickly become lost!
