Consumables and Trips

These are not included in the government funding and will be charged extra on the fully funded sessions (Free options 1 and 2) unless you provide your own consumables and decide that you do not wish your child to access any trip off site.

*Consumables: you will need to provide for your child – all food/snacks, suncream, nappy cream, wipes, nappies and specialised art resources (we will let you know as these become required).

**Trips – these are trips that involve more than stepping outside the nursery or walking round the block. They do not include trips to the shops, the beach, the park, the pond, Forest School or Nova House, which generally happen during the morning sessions.
