Yes, for all children aged 18months +. We believe that uniforms give the child a sense of pride in belonging to a nursery. Furthermore, it helps them get used to wearing uniforms for when they go to big school. These are just some of the reasons why uniforms are compulsory at Abracadabra Preschools Nurseries.
-
We promote positive behaviour management at the nursery; which means we ignore unwanted behaviour and praise good behaviour. This helps the child understand only positive behaviour will help them gain attention from their peers and adults
-
Please send your child appropriately dressed to nursery as they will have an opportunity to play outside – every single day of the year – in all weathers. We believe that if your child is well enough to come to nursery then he / she is well enough to play outside and get some fresh air. Please discuss with a member of staff about the advantages of playing outdoors.

Yes we do. We will work with you to help your child with potty training.
