At Kids Planet, children will get messy – and that is a great thing! It means they are exploring, creating, and learning independently.
Whether it’s independent eating, a “paint slide,” or outdoor exploration, your child will have opportunities at nursery they might not get at home. While they may return with food, paint, or pen stains, these experiences are vital for their development. For that reason, we ask that children wear practical clothes you don’t mind getting a little messy.
Comfortable clothes that are easy to get on and off are appreciated by children and staff alike. We recommend basic leggings or joggers—something soft that allows for a full range of movement and easy changes.
For 3 and 4-year-olds, Velcro or slip-on shoes are ideal to help them build independence.
Potty Training Tip: Avoid dungarees if your child is toilet training. We also recommend “jelly-style” sandals that can be easily cleaned after accidents, rather than fabric trainers.
Protecting children from the elements ensures they can enjoy the outdoors all year round:
Cold & Wet Months
Don’t forget hats, coats, and gloves. Most nurseries provide wetsuits for outdoor play, and many provide wellies or ask parents to keep a pair at nursery.
Sunny Months
Sunhats and sun cream are essential. Many Kids Planet nurseries provide these on-site, but please check with your specific setting to confirm.
Always Label Everything: To reduce the risk of loss, please label all items, especially shoes and coats which often look identical. We recommend name stickers that are dishwasher and washing machine safe.
The Spare Set: We recommend every child has a spare set of clothes in a named bag for accidents.
⚠️ Safety Notice:
Please do not use plastic bags on children’s pegs, as these pose a health and safety risk. All new sign-ups receive a small bag that is ideal for bringing a spare set of clothes into nursery.
While practical everyday wear is encouraged, we do offer an optional nursery uniform for parents who wish to purchase it. This includes high-quality t-shirts and jumpers branded for Kids Planet.
Available to purchase directly from your nursery setting.
