Get Ready Every Day For Long Day Care

Depending on your baby or toddlers’ age, you’ll need to pack a few essential items to bring along to long day care (Please ensure that all items are clearly labelled with a waterproof marker).

We always suggest packing your child’s special ‘comforter’ (teddy or special blanket) if they have one. Other items to pack include a spare set of clothes, a set of sheets for sleep time and a water bottle.

There’s no need to pack any nappies. We supply disposable nappies.
