ALL REMOVABLE ITEMS OF CLOTHING SUCH AS SWEATSHIRTS, JACKETS, HATS, GLOVES ETC. MUST BE NAMED.
The children are taken outside to play on a daily basis, so please ensure that during the summer your child brings a sun hat preferably with a neck cover and during the colder weather your child has a coat and if needed hat and gloves.

For children who stay for full daycare sun block (named and provided by the child’s Parent/Carers) will be applied prior to the child going out into the sunshine after lunchtime although a light long sleeved shirt or blouse is good cover to the arms.
