Childcare Centres
What to Bring
We aim to make your day as stress free as possible. There is no need to pack food*, drinks, wipes, or sunscreen, unless your child has special requirements. We supply them to make packing your child's kindy bag easier.
We supply the following items:
- Nutritious meals, including drinks, prepared fresh on site*
- Sunscreen
*Freshly prepared meals are not available at some CFK Childcare Centres. Please check with your local centre.
What to Wear
Loose fitting clothing that protects as much of the children's skin as possible during outdoor play. Shirts that cover the shoulders, with collars, and sleeves that are at least elbow length.
Ensure that clothing is comfortable and easy for your child to manipulate for toileting purposes. Please name all belongings. We discourage children from bringing superhero outfits as these can get damaged or lost and may lead to aggressive play.
Please bring the items below for your child:
- A broad brimmed hat. Broad brimmed hats should have a brim of at least 7.5cm. Legionnaire's hats are also suitable. Hats for children should not fall off easily and should offer protection to face, ears, and neck and be acceptable to the child.
NB. Baseball caps are not recommended for sun protection. - Parents are encouraged to apply SPF 30+ broad spectrum water resistant sunscreen to children before coming to the Centre for the day, or to apply sunscreen to children upon arrival. Sunscreen will be applied by the Centre staff unless you prefer your child to use a specific brand.
- A spare set of clothing and underwear.
- Warm headwear, footwear, and clothing for winter days.
- A kindy bag.

- 4 - 6 nappies per day or sufficient trainer pants for those children who are toilet training
