ALL THE CHILDREN NEED SPARE CLOTHES AS THEY PLAY IN THE GARDEN WHICH IS WET & MUDDY, INDEPENDENTLY WASH THEIR HANDS AT CHILD HEIGHT SINKS AND ENGAGE IN MESSY PLAY ACTIVITIES.
If you have any old Christmas cards, wrapping paper or decorations you no longer want, we will be very happy to take them off your hands! Thank you in advance.
Please remember that we are always outside , so please make sure your child has a suitable named coat. It will get dirty as we will be playing with and experiencing chalk, paint, soil and other messy play; that is what we’re here for! Please also make sure your child is wearing (named) layers to keep them warm while inside as we will be keeping the windows and garden door open for ventilation.
