What your child needs to bring
If your child is staying for lunch could you please provide a packed lunch for them.
Play Clothes: although every precaution is taken to avoid spills and damage to clothes, we advise you to dress your child in ‘play clothes’. We provide aprons for messy play.
Outdoor wear: Can we remind you to bring your child with a warm coat during wet weather
Spare Clothes: You may wish to bring spare clothes in case of accidents
Summertime: In the summer we ask you to ensure your child has a sun hat for outdoor play. It would also be helpful if you would use a sun cream on your child before they attend the session.
Toys/comforters: Please do not feel that you have to separate your child from their special toy/comforter,they are welcome to bring it.
Fruit/ Healthy snacks
We ask that, if possible, you could bring in something healthy that can be shared out at snack time, e.g. fruit and fresh or dried sliced carrots or cucumber, tomatoes etc.
