Children should take a small named bag such as a rucksack containing:

• A complete change of clothes (even if your child is toilet trained. These can be necessary after water/messy play or spills)

• Spare nappies/pull ups and wipes (only if they are worn by your child)

• Wellies to be kept in Nursery

• Gym shoes/trainers to be kept in nursery (available from all supermarkets)

Please put your child's name on all these items! 

Please discourage your child from bringing toys. Speak to your child's keyworker if your child needs a comforter/blanket in their bag, as we appreciate this can be very important, especially in those first few days and weeks. 

We would ask that the shoes your child wears are as easy for your child to put on as possible as we try to teach independence. Please no laces!
