You will be required to ensure your child is dressed in their waterproofs everyday they are in attendance to follow our safeguarding procedure.

• First top layer - long sleeve t-shirt or thin jumper

• Extra Jumpers to be packed in backpack for really cold days

FEET
In average weather we recommend wellies with 2 pairs of socks. The bottom a thin cotton sock then top sock a thick wool or fluffy bed sock, similar to those sold next to the checkout at H&M or ‘ Heat Holder Socks’ are amazingly toasty!
‘Warm Wellies’ are our recommended wellies until it’s properly cold
When it gets very cold ‘Happy Little Soles’ and ‘Bogs’ are our recommended supplier for snow boots - Mikk-Line and Melton Thermal boots, the Bundgaard Sailor boots and the Bogs Neo Classic.
HEADS
A good hat is a must. Jojo Maman Bebe and Didriksons have super ones that are waterproof and very warm.
HANDS
We suggest thick, waterproof ski gloves. We have found that Didriksons do very good mittens for cold weather. Although, we have discovered that most children don't like the curtailment of freedom that they feel in such bulky gloves, so, alternatively, we recommend a multipack of woollen gloves. On really cold days, fleece mittens on top of the woollen gloves will help keep the children's hands extra warm.
