Uniform

Uniform

Although uniform is not mandatory at Whiteley Pre-School we strongly encourage our children to wear our uniform as it can play a key role in promoting the ethos of the Pre-School, providing a sense on belonging and identity and setting an appropriate tone for education.  It also helps build the routine of getting ready for Pre-School and eases the transition to ‘big school’.

We have a uniform of navy blue or white polo shirts with a navy jumper or cardigan.  Most children wear grey pinafores/skirts or trousers in the winter and grey shorts/skirts or navy gingham dresses in the summer term or their own leggings/joggers.

Branded uniform (polo shirts, cardigans and jumpers) is available from Skoolkit (www.skoolkit.co.uk or in store at Skoolkit Fareham, 149 West Street, Fareham, PO16 0YA) or from Myclothing.com.

Snack time

A fruit or vegetable snack is offered by the preschool during the morning sessions. If you are attending an all-day session or an afternoon session then a packed lunch will need to be provided.
