Drinks, snacks and lunch
Drinks - Children can only have milk or water at school, We provide milk at snack time. Can you please ensure you send your child in with a labelled water bottle everyday.
Snacks - If your child attends for morning or afternoon sessions, they do not need to bring any food with them - we provide healthy snacks and milk.
Lunch - If your child attends full time, they will need to bring a nut free, healthy packed lunch every day, which includes a bottle of water. Please see the below document for more information.
Uniform
Your child will need to wear uniform at Nursery, this includes:
- White polo shirt
- Black or dark grey skirt, trousers, leggings or jogging bottoms
- Highlands green jumper or cardigan
- Comfortable shoes, appropriate for outdoor play (no open toes or sandals)
- A spare change of clothes to be kept in school
You can purchase some of these items with a logo through school, please see the price list list below.
Our school uniform shop is usually open every Wednesday after school (with additional days in the first few weeks of September) however due to current circumstances the shop is not operating.
We are working on setting up a safe system to purchase uniform again from September and will be able to give you more information then.
Evidence Me
We use ‘Evidence Me’ to make observations of your child’s learning at school.
We can send these observations to you, so that you can keep up to date with your child’s progress.
You can also send photos, videos and comments about their learning at home back to us.
Please make sure to download the ‘Evidence Me’ app to receive and send updates on your phone once your child starts school.
