• Toothbrushes, toothpaste, flannels, personal toiletries

• If you have special dietary requirements, please bring the necessary items.
• Books, work or activities to occupy yourself  for the times when children are on the day programme.

What NOT to bring:

• Valuables or large amounts of money
• Alcohol or drugs
• Electronic toys such as Playstations
• Bedding of any kind (pillows, quilts, special blankets or covers)

• We provide towels and bedding and you will be expected to make your own beds and change the sheets every week.
• We have a fully equipped kitchen which will be available to prepare your family’s meals. There is also a locked cupboard  in the kitchen for parents’ use.
