Asda

I found some age 2 school trousers in Tesco a couple of years ago. I feel your pain, my 6 year old has just graduated to age 3-4. I find Asda school uniform is absolutely huge, especially if your child is slight as well as shorter than average.

Good luck in your search.

If a girl get a pinafore. My narrow hipped 3yo can just about wear Primark skinny jeans in 2-3 with the waist bunched in, is fine in Tesco and Sainsbury's pinafores.

Matalan does tights in 2-3 which is handy too!

She's not long in size 18-24m in m&s and asda seems to be even bigger made.

I was hoping somewhere did a smaller 2-3y than m&s as they've always seemed quite big made compared to other brands

I got Matalan age 3 stuff for my little boy who is about to finish reception! Found Matalan smaller than Asda stuff.

M and S do age 2 as well. As do the Supermarkets. My son is v small. I have to pick slim cut style trousers or they are too gathered at the waist so picking the right style helps too. He was in 2-3 in Reception!

Not sure what age Next start at but their slim fit trousers with adjustable waists were great for my skinny kids.

I have the opposite problem and next has always been helpful. They have a super slim as well as plus size option.

John Lewis seems to come up quite big. My small but not tiny 7yr old is in age 5. Next slim fit works well.

No, just very small 4 year olds! My DD was in 2-3y clothes in some brands in Sept, she turned 5 the other day and now is too tall for the dresses I bought in August.Confused

Sainsbury, and M&S skinny range

Some school nursery classes have optional uniform - which might pick up a just turned 3yo too. Or just very slight - the range in DD's class is huge - she's about the narrowest but above average in height. Her 3-4 pinafores were really long in September but look like they won't actually cover her bum if she's reaching up. Still not really grown into them width wise! Summer dresses are fine for length despite being same size!

Thanks for all the answers. Next only goes down to 3-4 and we don't have one nearby to look instore.
We'll need to go into the city at some point anyway so we'll just have to have a look about and try stuff on her.

She'll be about 3 and a half when she starts school she just teeny! She 3 at the moment and only 84cm tall
