Thank you for your co-operation.
Please name every coat your child wears to
Pre-School. They now need a warm winter coat not just a raincoat or a fleece. We are free flow into the garden all day and the children need to keep warm.
Please name your child’s lunch bags on the outside, we are having to guess who they belong to, and we have many duplicate bags. This is very important as we need to make sure the children get the
correct food due to food restrictions
and allergies/intolerances.
