Please give me all your tips

We went today for my almost 5yo’s first lesson and I feel like some things were harder than they needed to be

What do you recommend to make it easier?

Those might sound strange in this weather... but a loose dress for DD, and a warm coat, then foot wear like crocs. Whipping off a dress and cross means no need to visit changing room before.

Afterwards, its quick rinse, rub down, dress and pants. Plus a wooly hat (and the coat. Then once home, proper wash and pj's.

try Primark for onesies, big supermarkets might also have them. I don't think they're as popular these days now that oodies have come in but they're definitely still around Girls' Pyjamas | Girls' Pjs | Primark UK
matalan have got several Kids' Nightwear | Kids PJs & Dressing Gowns - Matalan
