Goose Green nursery - sept start questions

[KatsuQueen]

Hi minikatsu has a place in Goose Green nursery in September, hooray. We didn't receive any info with our acceptance letter and I meant to call the office with some questions but embarrassingly have been too unorganised. And now the school is closed, oops.

So to any GG parents, do I have to buy a uniform for nursery? Or just a school jumper? And where can I get one, I assume the uniform shop on Grove Vale? And can he just wear his "normal" shoes? Any other tips greatly appreciated!

Nursery children need white shirt, aertex is fine, grey trousers or dress/skirt, girls can wear green gingham dresses in September if weather merits it. All you need is a logo jumper, available from school office (uniform shop on Grove Vale caters for the private schools and in my experience of trying to buy generic accessories they are very very snooty). Also a bookbag, also available from school office. Get them on first week back, no one will mind if there is a day or two without the jumper except your little one who will no doubt want to wear the same as everyone else.

Shoes should be black and sensible but they are relatively relaxed in nursery. I sent mine in plimsols at first; cheap hard wearing and retro!

Next term the school will have the parent pay facility which will allow us to order and pay for uniform online which will make life easier.

If you are totally desperate I can loan you a jumper for the first week, we have plenty!

Hi - my son has just finished at Goose Green nursery (it's fab by the way!) - as he is off to St John's in September I have a spare jumper going if you'd like it? (we had 2 but I donated one to the nursery as a spare) it's the smallest size so depending on whether your little one is big/small for their age it may or may not be ok - anyway it's yours if you'd like it - just send me a PM and we can arrange for you to pick it up.

I know this is a old thread but I've searched for th info elsewhere and come up a blank..... What age do gg nursery accept children from?

State school nurseries accept children from the term after they turn 3. So if your child is 3 before the Sept intake then they will start then.

Why don't you phone Goose Green's school office and they can tell you for sure.
