School Uniform

At Hindley Nursery School most of our children who attend wear our school uniform. This is not compulsory, and we offer pre-loved uniform or you can buy uniform from our suppliers. 

Please make sure all uniform and shoes are labelled with your child’s name and that your child is wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that they can play in and that help them to be independent.  They will need a coat to keep them warm for outside play.  We provide waterproof suits and wellies so that we can go out in all weathers.

For pre-loved uniform, please see the office staff.
