Nursery Uniform and Clothing

'Dress for Mess'

In the Nursery we encourage children to explore the outdoor environment, paint and other messy activities.  We do provide protective clothing but sometimes the children's enthusiasm means that they still get messy!

The Nursery uniform is ideal to save home clothes from getting messy or stained.  This can be purchased from Skoolkit, Church Street, Basingstoke RG21 1QG.  Sweatshirts, polo shirts and t-shirts are available with the King's Furlong Infant School and Nursery logo. 

In the winter your child will need:

• A warm, showerproof coat
• Hat and gloves
• Sturdy shoes
• A pair of wellies that can be left at Nursery

In the summer your child will need:

• A sun hat
• Sunscreen to be applied before coming to Nursery
• For children who will be staying all day, parents will need to provide their child's key person with a bottle of factor 30 or higher sunscreen, labelled with their child's name.

When children are toilet trained we encourage them to be independent when using the toilet.  Please ensure children wear clothing that is easy to manage.  There are times when toileting accidents occur and children do prefer to be in their own clothes.  We ask that all children have a spare set of clothing that can stay in Nursery in a named drawstring bag.

Sensible shoes are very important and so we request no slingback sandals, heeled shoes or Crocs.

We recommend that children in Nursery do not wear earrings as large apparatus play tends to occur daily.  For safety reasons, if they are worn, they should be stud type earrings only.

Watches

A small, well-fitted watch can be worn during school time.

Earrings

If children have pierced ears, stud type earrings are the only ones to be worn (up to one in each ear), again as a safety measure.  It is Hampshire County Council's policy that children cannot wear earrings for PE and parents should remove the earrings for the day(s) that their child has PE.  Alternatively, parents can provide surgical tape so that children can cover their earrings during PE.  We recommend that children in Reception classes do not wear earrings as large apparatus play tends to occur daily.  For safety reasons, if they are worn, they should be stud type earrings only.

To prevent loss, breakage and accidents, other jewellery should not be worn.

Nail varnish should not be worn to school.
