BEFORE YOUR CHILD STARTS 

Please encourage your child to be as independant as possible with eating, drinking, getting dressed, getting things they need and putting them away. 

We will of course offer help where needed and appropraite to each child's age and ability, however they will settle much more easily if they are already able to attempt most of these things by themselves. 

TOILET TRAINING

We expect children joining us for nursery to have some level of toilet training before they start with us. Our staff are happy to support with the continuation of toilet training, however this will be a continuation of processes already started at home.

Nappy changing facilities are available in Nursery Class where necessary, but it's important that children are able to tell staff when they need to use toilet facilities or when they may have had an accident.

UNIFORM 

School uniform in Nursery is not compulsory, however we do recommend it  - there's lots of messy/wet play that happens each day and having a Nursery uniform saves children's home clothes from getting stained! 

The Nursery uniform is: 

• Purple CTK jumper or cardigan 

• White polo shirt 

• black or grey trousers/leggings/jogging bottoms

• Skirt/black or grey pinafore dress/purple and white check dress 

• Black sensible shoes 

• Jewellery is not allowed in Nursery with the exception of one small pair of stud earrings. 

Please remember to send your child with a coat every day as well as plenty of spare clothes (including underwear and socks!)
