Cloakroom and Belongings

Dear parents/carers,

Please can we ask that you take all your children’s belongings home at the end of each session.  Pegs are shared between children at nursery and therefore it needs to allow the other children space to hang their belongings up.

Nursery shoes can remain in the box provided and wellie boots can be placed on the wellie boot stand – ensure all belongings are labelled.  Please can we ask other belongings such as bags go home.   This will also help to keep our cloakroom nice and tidy and work towards reducing children losing or misplacing their belongings.

Thank you for your continued support.
