Uniform

Uniform is optional. Children do not have to wear uniform but we  believe it gives the child a sense of belonging.

Also pre-school activities can get very messy. Children and parents are more likely to feel happier about these

fun times if the clothes the  child are wearing are only worn to pre-school. We say that 'when the clothes are to old to wear out they are ideal to wear to pre-school'.

We use 'my clothing.com' and clicking on the link will take you straight through to their website.

If you choose not to send your child in uniform, can we please warn you in advance, that we like the children to participate in a full curriculum and sometimes that means they may get very, very messy but have the most wonderful experiences. 

 

Uniform is not compulsory and therefore we would like to take this time to remind you what it says in our prospectus under the following heading

 

"Clothing"

We provide protective clothing for the children when they play with messy activities and we would also advise that children wear older more serviceable clothing rather than their ‘best’ clothes. We encourage children to gain the skills that help them to be independent and look after themselves. These include taking themselves to the toilet and taking off and putting on outdoor clothes. Clothing that is easy for them to manage will help them to do this."

Please do not hesitate to contact pre-school for any further information.
