Here we’ve distilled over 50 years of experience into two handy packing lists and plenty of practical tips to help your family get ready for nursery!

Clothing for outdoor play

Our outerwear checklist includes smart layering pieces and practical accessories that are perfect for outdoor play in all kinds of weather. Shell clothing is an essential part of any child's wardrobe thanks to its durable, water-repellent and windproof properties, making it ideal for active days at preschool or nursery. As temperatures drop, you can easily swap shell garments for insulated winter wear and add wool base layers for extra warmth.

With our durable children's outerwear, you can feel confident that the garments can handle rainy autumn days, chilly winter mornings and hours of outdoor play. Designed to last, these clothes provide reliable protection through changing weather conditions and multiple seasons of use, whether your child is heading to preschool, nursery or outdoor adventures with the family.

  • Wind fleece
  • Shell trousers
  • Shell gloves

Clothes for the nursery drawer

A well-stocked preschool or nursery spare clothes drawer makes everyday life easier for both children and adults. Spills, water play, wet clothes and minor accidents are all part of an active day, and with the right spare clothes close, your child is quickly ready to play again. Here you'll find our best tips for comfortable and practical preschool and nursery clothing that covers most needs.

Soft everyday essentials for play and movement

Choose soft and comfortable garments that your child can wear all day long. Long-sleeved tops, t-shirts, leggings and soft trousers made from durable jersey fabric are perfect spare clothes for the preschool and nursery clothes drawer. They are comfortable to play in, allow freedom of movement and work just as well indoors as underneath outerwear outdoors.

Non-slip socks

An extra pair of socks is always a good idea at preschool and nursery. Choose non-slip socks for better grip on slippery floors and added confidence throughout the day's adventures.

Moccasins for little feet

Soft moccasins are a popular complement to socks. They help keep little feet warm and provide comfortable protection from cold floors, while staying securely in place during play and movement.

Remember to refill the clothes drawer regularly

Children grow quickly, and spare clothes are often used. Check the clothes drawer regularly and replace garments that have become too small or have been taken home after use. That way, your child is always prepared for the day's preschool and nursery activities.

Packing list for their drawer

  • 2 long-sleeved tops
  • 1 warmer top
  • 2 T-shirts
  • 2 jersey leggings
  • 1–2 joggers
  • 3 pairs of underwear
  • 3 pairs of anti-slip socks
  • 1 pair of soft slippers
