- NUDDYA | 4 – 8 years (Before and After School (or Preschool) Care for current students at Southern Cross ECS)

We recommend a small to medium sized back pack, so that all belongings remain together.
Please bring:
- Spare changes of clothes including socks, shoes, pants/shorts and singlets. Children are encouraged to explore the environment and to participate in activities such as waterplay and painting
- A coat or jacket (during cool weather)
- All of the bottles that your infant or toddler will need for the day, clearly labelled with your child’s name. (Anglicare provides cow’s milk and soy milk for infants’ bottles. If your child has formula, this can be provided to staff who will prepare the bottles as needed.)
- A hat for outdoor play
- Raincoat and gumboots for wet weather/mud play
Please label all your child’s belongings.
Anglicare centres provide all food requirements and nappies for your child for the day. The Centre uses disposable nappies and Sudocream.
