Needed for nursery

28 replies

DS (3) starts nursery next month but the nursery has been crap at communicating what we need to send in with him.

So far on my list are:

Several pairs of pants
Two changes of clothes
A jumper
Wellies
Waterproofs
Hat (sun hat for summer/woolly for winter)
Sunscreen
Water bottle

Is there anything obvious that I've missed?

I only put waterproofs and wellies in his bag/on him if it's really wet. They have some waterproofs for unexpected downpours!

It really depends on the nursery. Ours provides all the food, drinks, drink bottles, nappies and wipes.
But they want each child to have their own nappy cream and sun cream, which are kept there.
They ask for a hat in summer and wellies in winter (wellies stay at the nursery).
Mine is younger and not potty trained, so I send him in every day wearing an outdoor jacked, a hat and a couple of changes of clothes -including socks- in his backpack, nothing else.
And of course they have his medications for emergency (asthma, eczema, allergies in my case). I normally keep an eye on their expiry date but the nursery is quite good at telling me when they are about to expire or if they run out.

DS is three and a half. In his bag at the moment he has two or three pairs of trousers, same of shorts, half a dozen pairs of pants, two or three tshirts, some socks, and his sun hat. In the winter he also has hat, scarf, gloves and a spare jumper.
He keeps a coat and a pair of wellies at nursery (I bought them cheap on ebay, so don't mind them staying there).

He's reasonably potty trained, but still has a rare accident. Mostly the reason I have multiples of things in there though is because it means I don't have to repack it every day. I send it in Monday, it comes home friday, and they give me any dirty clothes through the week.
