Haven't the nursery given you a list? Ours did.

Your list pretty much covers it, I think.

Not a mum but do work in a nursery!
The absolute musts are:
Nappies and wipes
Wellies for outdoor play
Spare clothes
Blanket and dummy for sleep time

Handy for when she's settling in:
Favourite soft toy/comforter from home
Juice cup

Another tip, other than a special teddy or comforter which can be really helpful during her settles and for sleep time don't bring random toys to nursery. They cause disagreements with other children because they want them and they often get lost or damaged.
Best of luck with her settlesSmile

That's fine, nursery will work around her likes and preferences. Some children have comforters that they are VERY attached to, this helps settle them in. Chances are if she has a secure attachment to you or whoever her main caregiver is, she will settle just fine.Smile

Check with nursery what to provide. Ours provides bags and I have to send her in with a set of three complete changes of clothes. Plus coat, hat and shoes, but that's it.
