What to pack for preschool?

Little one has never been to childcare before and is starting nursery (part of a primary school) full time. Due to covid, we can't go in with them. I was planning on having a separate bag with spare clothes but just thinking that and their rucksack and coat may be too much/a bit overwhelming for them to try and take in by themselves. What's the deal with keeping things in school? Like wellies. I'd rather not carry them every rainy day so would like to leave some there. And what is actually to go in the rucksack they bring in each day aside from her water bottle? Feeling pretty clueless!

It probably varies by nursery. Ours needed wellies to stay there. I think just ask them.

Just spare clothes every day, multiple pairs of socks, my two always soaked their feet for some reason.

We were allowed to keep wellies and indoor shoes at nursery (school one also).

They don't need much.

My girls used to take a change of clothes, water bottle and lunch if staying all day. Us any seasonal requirements (sun hat or wooly hat and gloves, waterproof trousers etc)

Nursery folder went in as well, but they were given that.

Ask the teacher. Ours we were asked to leave wellies. They went in with a small bag containing water bottle, compact spare outfit (I chose the least bulky jumper, leggings instead of jeans etc so it fit easily), sun cream/sun hat/waterproof suit if needed. So just wore coat and carried a single small backpack. Previous nursery specifically asked for no water bottles and for wellies not to be left there. So basically, it depends!
