Clothing

Please send your child to Preschool in old clothes ready for an action packed session. We provide aprons for use during

‘messy’ play; however we cannot accept liability for damaged or stained clothing.

When choosing clothing please consider articles which the child can manage. This develops their self-esteem and helps them to become independent. Belts, braces, dungarees, trainers and high laced boots are difficult to master. Open toed sandals are not permitted for Health & Safety reasons.

Each child must have a named change of clothes every day.

Any clothes loaned by Preschool should be returned as soon as possible, freshly laundered and ironed, otherwise a charge

may be applied.

Jewellery should not be worn. Earrings will need to be removed completely for our physical activity in line with our policies and procedures.

Please label your child’s belongings. Lost/misplaced clothing cannot be accountable by the Preschool.

PULL UPS IN PRESCHOOL

In the Preschool, pull ups, wipes and sacks must be provided in a named bag while your child is mastering potty/toilet training. Nappies must be provided for use in the Unit.

OUTSIDE PLAY

Children have the opportunity to play and learn outside. Please ensure they have a coat, hat and gloves as appropriate.

During the Summer it is essential that suitable footwear is worn, no flip flops, open toed sandals or bare feet. Please supply a named sun hat and apply sun cream prior to the session. If wellingtons are worn to Preschool, please provide a pair of shoes for indoor use.

Two year old children who cannot drink from a non-lidded cup will need to be provided with a bottle type sippy cup which we can sterilise weekly in the dish washer, this will remain at Preschool until they can confidently drink from a plastic beaker.

LIBRARY LOAN SCHEME

The Preschool operates a Library Book Scheme and it is expected that every child will participate in the scheme. It is necessary to use a green book bag in order to protect the books; this bag is available from Total Clothing Online. Books will not be sent home without a book bag. If the bag is lost, it must be replaced in order for the child to continue with the scheme.
