Healthy Snack

Families take turns supplying fresh fruit for snack time. The fruit will be prepared and served by our staff each day.

Memory Folders

For your child’s memory folder, we kindly ask each family to provide:

  • 1 sturdy folder

  • 1 pack of printer paper

  • Plastic sleeves

  • Glue sticks

These are used to store your child’s work, photos, and learning milestones throughout the year.

Nappies & Wipes

Parents are asked to provide their child’s own nappies and wipes where required.

We value strong relationships with parents and carers and believe that working together helps give children the best possible start in their early years education. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a visit, please get in touch with us.
