Please make sure there is no flavoured water, squash, or milk in children’s water bottles, as we have several children with dietary requirements and allergies. Anything other than plain water will be emptied out and replaced with tap water.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Please make sure ALL your child’s removable belongings are named
Many items are coming in un-named which makes it difficult for us to identify children’s belongings.
Please name
All uniform - we are not able to identify your child’s uniform without a name.
Coats - your child is not always able to identify their coat amongst everyone’s coat, some children have identical coats and also wear different coats each day, we struggle to identify each child’s coat.
Shoes – many children wear very similar shoes and trainers , changing into wellies is a big skill we work on with the children. Please name SHOES & WELLIES.
Bags – Please write name on OUTSIDE of the bag, Put in on the back of a back pack so it cant be seen by others. We know where to look, searching for childrens un- named spare clothes in un-named back pack takes us away from working with the children in the room for too long, we need to grab the bag quickly and get back in the room to the children
Water Bottles.. must be named so we know the children are drinking from their own bottle.
Spare Clothes.. please name so we know who they belong to.
