Clothing

Please provide your child with appropriate named clothing for all weather conditions; in summer soft peaked hats, and in winter warm woollies and a suitable coat.


For health and safety reasons please ensure all children have closed toes in their shoes.


A change of clothing should be provided in a rucksack style bag and placed on your child’s coat peg. For those children still using nappies please provide spares in your child’s bag.


Please note that paint, glue, water and sand are regular resources used at all of our clubs. We strongly recommend, where possible, you send your child in old named clothing as these resources do not always easily wash out. We encourage children to take care and wear protective aprons, but accidents do happen!


We do have supply of spare clothing should it be required. In the event where this has been supplied, could we please request that any clothing provided to your child, is washed and ironed as soon as possible.



We have a supply of good quality blue t-shirts and sweatshirts printed with our Toddington Childcare & Forest School logo which are available to purchase, for children on our Pre-School register (1 years to 4 years). For further information, please ask our Business Administrator.
