Sending change of clothes to CM after school?

I know I should have asked this when I arranged it but it's too late to do it now and my 6 yr old is off to the CM for her first after school session tomorrow. Will the CM expect me to send a set of clothes for her to change into after school? If there are any CMs here who do after school care, what do you expect?

You could probably get away with shorts and t shirt in this weather. Some CMs will want a change of clothes. Others won't. How worried are you about the uniform getting dirty in the garden or when painting? Will the CM let you leave a bag of.clothes there?

She doesn't change after school when she's with me, so I'm happy for her to stay in uniform. I just wondered what the 'norm' was

I have one who does and one who doesn't! I just go by parents' preference. If I was doing something I knew would be messy then I would ask parents for a change of clothes.

Send her without as that's the norm for you and if your cm would prefer your DD to cone with a change of clothes I'm sure she'll discuss it with you.

I'm not fussed about messiness or anything, I just wasn't sure what the norm was and if there were any H&S rules or daft things like that

I never bother. The uniform ends up filthy by the end of school anyway so there seems little point in messing up another set of clothes

Mine have UV - proof sunsuits here for sunny afteroons in the garden (I wish!) but otherwise keep their uniform on.
