Parental Contributions
To ensure a smooth and enriching experience for all children in our care, we appreciate parents contributing the following:
Nappies & Wipes: Parents are required to supply nappies for their child. We also ask for contributions to our communal wipes supply.
Formula: If your baby is formula-fed, please provide an adequate supply of their specific formula, clearly labeled with your child's name and the preparation instructions.
Spare Clothes: Accidents happen! Please provide at least one complete change of clothes (including socks and underwear if applicable) in a labeled bag. This will help us ensure your child remains comfortable throughout the day.
Comfort Items: If your child has a special blanket, toy, or pacifier that helps them feel secure, please feel free to send it along. Please ensure these items are clearly labeled.
Weekly Sheet Contribution (Mondays/Fridays):
To help us maintain a clean and hygienic environment, we kindly request that each family provides one fitted cot sheet per week.
Please send a freshly laundered fitted sheet on Mondays, in a bag labeled with your child's name.
We will return the used sheet to you on Fridays, ready for laundering over the weekend.
