What To Wear

Children's Clothing

We provide protective clothing for the children when they play with messy activities and water play.

We encourage children to gain the skills that help them to be independent and look after themselves. These include using the toilet, washing hands and taking off, and putting on, outdoor clothes. Clothing that is easy for them to manage will help them to do this.

Children should wear suitable shoes for climbing and playing. Wellington boots, knee length boots, ugg boots, sandals and flip flops should be changed before coming in to preschool. Trainers and plimsolls are ideal for preschool play.

Please ensure that all items of clothing are clearly named, especially coats, gloves and hats etc. Unnamed lost property will be kept for one half-term.

Wherever possible, children should not wear jewellery of any description as it may become broken or tangled during play. The preschool will not be held liable for any damage or loss of jewellery.

Preschool activities involving paint and/or glue may end up on clothes by accident. In this event, we advise:

             Paint - Soak the clothing in cold water first before washing as normal

Glue - Wash in cold water (hot water can sometimes ‘set’ the glue hard)
