Starting Pre-School

What To Bring

A named bag with a full change of clothes.

Something healthy for snack time - a piece of fruit, some cereal, breadsticks , dried fruit or rice cakes with your child’s name on. A named water bottle.

Packed lunch (if your child is staying for lunch club).  Please do not include nuts, chocolate or sweets in keeping with our healthy eating policies.

Wellies and coat - rain does not stop play at our pre-school!

Your child may wish to bring something to share for show and tell.  We also love to hear what is happening in life outside Pre-School in the way of news from home so please do keep us updated!

Uniform

Uniform is not compulsory, but sweatshirts (£11.00) and polo shirts (£9.50) are available to buy.

Settling In

We want your child to feel happy and safe with us, so we will work with you and your child to ensure that the settling in period is as stress-free as possible. Your Key Person will plan your child’s first days and sessions according to their interests and likes.

Olveston pre-school is excellent and I always feel the staff go the extra mile. I can tell each week my daughter has enjoyed herself and learned new things.
