Clothing & footwear...

We find that children are able to relax and learn best when they feel comfortable so we give parents the following suggestions:

Short sleeves are best for painting (like our own Youth club Pre-school T-shirt)

Clothes which are easily washed and not too new are better as we might get messy sometimes

Comfortable shoes like trainers or pumps are best as heeled shoes, boots, wellies and flip flops are not safe on some of our equipment

Costumes and party clothes should be saved for party days as they might get messy or caught on the equipment

Hats and sunscreen should be worn and shoulders covered on very sunny days as we usually play outside

And... please remember to label your child's hats, coats, cardigans and gloves as this saves lots of time and tears at home time.
