A water bottle
A lunch bag
A lunch bag is a great way to carry little ones lunches in, as they're not heavy and bulky and can be easily washed and cleaned. We love this insulated lunch bag from Nobodinoz. It's inner lining has been tested and certified to be in direct contact with food.

Don't forget your hat! Temperatures in the UK during the Autumn term can still be warm, and coupled with a high UV index this makes a Summer hat an essential. With temperature regulating materials, it should keep little ones comfortable when playing out in the sun!

TOP TIP: add a badge to your little one's coat and bag, so they can easily identify it on their peg, and it also adds a little personalisation!
The start of school can be an exciting but also daunting time for many children (and even some adults!), and worry is something that all children deal with at one time or another. Most children, with a bit of time and patience, settle in to their new routines and thrive in their new environment.
If your little one is starting school for the first time, preparing them for what to expect can take many different forms: a great starting point can be a book for them to refer back to.
Settling in takes time, and by being there and supporting them they’ll get there eventually!
