Spare Clothes
If your child goes home in any spare preschool clothes, we would greatly appreciate if you could return them clean at your earliest convenience. Thank you for you help.
Please check all Preschool bags and make sure that they contain a full change of clothes, and if your child is prone to accidents, please make sure there are multiple pairs of pants, socks and trousers.
Funding for 2-year-olds.
As of September 2025 your 2-year-old may be eligible for 30 funded hours of Preschool. This is not universal funding but is for working families and if you are eligible, then you will need to apply for a code this term. If you apply for a code, please can you email it to 'manager@greatdoddingtonpreschool.co.uk' with the subject – 2 year funding code.
What to bring
Uniforms
The preschool uniform policy is for each child to wear a uniformed royal blue polo shirt and/or sweatshirt, own bottoms can be worn. Various other logo items are also available to buy. Uniforms can be ordered here from The Uniform Shop, Wellingborough.
All children are asked to bring with them a named bag containing the following items each day:
- Spare change of clothes (all clothes should be named)
- Outdoor coat
For those children who wear nappies, a nappy box is provided at preschool for each child and you should keep this stocked please. We will let you know in good time when the nappies/wipes/cream are running low.
Plimsolls/Indoor shoes
We are based mainly outside and are very often in wellies. When the children come inside we ask that parents provide plimsolls or other slippers/shoes that can be kept at preschool. The reason we ask for plimsolls/indoor shoes is in the event of a fire; we would need to evacuate the children from the building and if they have not got footwear, then they will have to go out in their socks. Plimsolls are great indoor shoes as they keep the floors clean from mud and rain, they are comfy and easy to get on and off, but they have hard soles and if needed can be worn outside.
Please remember to label all of your child's belongings!
