My dc starts at Primary school next week and as I got offered a late place it has been a mad frantic rush trying to get organised and get uniform etc together anyway the one thing im struggling with and thsi might seem silly is that, "To keep the carpets nice" they have oudoor shoes and indoor shoes,this is a new concept to me the outdoor ones are your school shoes and indoor ones are anything thats going to be comfy as there going to be in them most of the time which after £33 spent on school shoes that will be grown out of after 2 minutes im now having to fork our for some more so as you can imagine these need to be fairly cheap to keep costs down i have been told they can wear slippers but i dunno if they would offer enough support ideas please??? also can you send them for the first couple of weeks with something from home as a comfort like a special teddy with some of my perfume on only I know her nursery didnt like you to take toys in so they didnt fight over or loose them, Its probably more of a comfort to me than her tbh just think it would be something familiar as she know nobody in her class and has only seen her teacher once for 10 minutes or so, ideas please thanks
