Your Dottie Tots Bag and Uniform Kit

When your child joins Dottie Tots, they will receive a Dottie Tots backpack and bamboo toothbrush. Once your child is big enough to fit comfortably into one of our little uniform tops, we will provide one for them too.

​

What to Bring

Please dress your child in comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing so they can fully enjoy outdoor learning, messy play and all areas of our curriculum.

​

Please clearly label all belongings and pack:

• A complete change of clothes, including socks and underwear

• A splash suit or waterproof coat

• Wellies and thick socks

• A sun hat in warmer weather

• A warm hat and gloves in colder weather

• A named water bottle

• Nappies, wipes and cream, if required

​

Please don’t worry if your child’s nappies, wipes or cream occasionally run out during the day. We keep a small supply of essential items available so that your child remains clean and comfortable. We will let you know when their own supplies need replenishing. Any creams will be used in accordance with your permissions and our nursery procedures.

​

Sleep and Rest

If your child sleeps at nursery, we will agree their individual sleep arrangements with you and let you know whether you need to provide anything.

​

Please do not routinely pack blankets, sleeping bags, pillows, comforters or other sleep items unless requested by the nursery.

We follow our Safer Sleep and Rest Policy to ensure every child sleeps safely and comfortably.
