To think uniform for a preschool is a bit much?

[Frazzels]

The preschool I'm looking at sending DD to in september has the same uniform as the primary school that it's attached to. Full compulsory uniform. I've come across nursery uniforms before but they've never been compulsory and usually just a jumper, maybe a polo shirt. It's a good school, I already have one DC there I just find this a bit odd, do 2-4 year olds really need to be head to two in uniform? And if DD is still as fussy with clothes as she is now it's going to be a struggle. I can hardly get her to wear anything but pyjamas and wellies

I don't like to see pre-schoolers in uniform because it's like they're trying to formalise education too early. And if my 3 year old decides she wants to wear a thin summer dress on a freezing cold day, me saying "no its not school uniform" will have no greater effect than me saying "no it's too cold". So she is learning to dress appropriately for the weather /activity.
There's a private primary near me that requires uniform from nursery (and throughout) and the boys aren't allowed trousers at all - even in the middle of winter. They're in shorts all year (and button up shirts, ties, blazers and ridiculous little cloth caps), so utterly impractical.

no reason for uniform in pre-school or primary school, in both my opinion and experience of having DC at a non-uniform school and nursery before that.
