New Starters Information
When your little one starts, it is a good idea to send them in with a comforter or pacifier.
All children will be given a named bottle so they will have access to their drinks throughout the day.
On hotter days please remember to bring in a sun hat and suncream labelled with your Child's name.
On cooler days please remember to bring in warm clothes, a coat, scarf, hat, and gloves
All children should bring a daily change of clothes for messy play activities to change into after.
Younger children will need to bring in nappies and labelled cream. We will provide nappy sacks and baby wipes unscented unless you choose not to use ours.
What will my child need to wear?
'Dress for Mess, not for best’ children love to explore and exploring is a messy job, children will explore daily with messy play. Please do not throw the clothes away, if they become soiled, simply wash and put them back on to your child.
Always bring your child with at least one set of spare clothes, this must include sooks in case of mess or an accident.
Walking children require sensible walking shoes, they need to be suitable and sturdy. In the summer months, you may wish to purchase your child's jelly shoes or waterproof shoes as these dry out quicker when playing with water.

As an organisation, we are passionate about contributing to the environment; we have completed several programmes demonstrating our commitment to addressing climate change.
We reduce our carbon footprint by making simple swaps, such as using water wipes instead of baby wipes and opting for recycled toilet rolls and tissues rather than their bleached counterparts.
The setting is powered by solar panels, allowing us to operate free from electricity throughout the day. Our carbon footprint is now reduced to 9 tonnes, significantly lower than the average small business in the UK, which produces around 15 tonnes.
Setting manager Elaina has completed a qualification in Business Environmental Sustainability, and together with her team, they look at new and innovative ways to reduce their carbon footfall.
The setting promotes recycling, reusing and repurposing and is proud to share the importance of their impact within the community with children.
