Uniform in daycare

That’s virtually impossible. Very weird

My daughter is 2 next month and wears uniform but she's going into the next room (2-3) only reason why x

Thats weird... why so strict?

I don't think it should be mandatory but I know lots of parents would be fine with it as all the clothes they send their child in get trashed so would rather a uniform get trashed.

By “uniform” do they just mean a coloured top to tell the age groups apart? If so I actually don’t mind that and I don’t have to look for a new top every time he goes. His 3yr and 4yr kinder did have a “uniform” its just a coloured top w the kinder name on it I find it much easier in the morning getting him dressed he just wears the same shirt (I wash it on weekends or when it gets visibly dirty)

That's odd my sons nursery is private however they don't mention uniform untill 18m/2yrs.... 1yrs old seems a bit to soon , even now the uniform my son had whatever I use the pen marks etc just dont wash out and his uniform is bloody bright yellow! Lol x

My son went to the same school but he was 3 when he started so the uniform was justified until I put him in preschool the following school year

You must be in the UK because where I live uniforms are for posh schools where the family is paying like 15-20 grand or more for the school each year. Putting a 1 year old in a uniform would be extremely unusual here.

Tbh I think it’s better. All kids wear the same clothes and it saves your actual kids clothes getting ruined x

My daughters last day care tried it but when will they ever have the chance to be a kid. Especially if you live in an area where they will have to wear uniforms every day. I understand older classes to get them used to school but an infant class

I've known nurseries to sell like polo tops for the kids if the parents wanna buy them so they don't ruin their own clothes but it's never been a thing they HAVE to wear

Noone should ever wear a uniform at school. I'm totally against it

We have an optional uniform which they can wear, which is a really cute little jumper and T-shirt if you fancy but they don’t have to and that’s a nice balance, sometimes he wears it sometimes he doesn’t

As long as they're comfy to wear I don't think I'd mind. At least not to the point that I'd go through the trouble of taking them out and looking for another daycare.

I would love this.

My girls go to a private nursery and they have a nursery tshirt. You get 2 free per child as part of registration fee. They're not too overpriced for spares either. I hot them in a bigger size so they have room to grow and tbh with 3 kids it helps me not have to pick outfits each day and no arguments about who wears what. Just bought a ton of cheap leggings for them.

Mine do and I think it’s quite cute 🤷‍♀️ Just a collared polo with a jumper over and whatever bottoms and shoes you want though

Thank for everyone opinions. I just needed to hear both sides of a 1-2 year old in uniform. Me and her dad found a school where it’s not mandatory for her. My opinion is that I need her to be comfortable in her clothes since she’s still getting the hang of walking plus what’s the purpose of her wearing it at her age if she’s just playing and not sitting down learning anything. I rather her be comfortable playing around than uncomfortable in uniform playing

The daycare my son is at does this starting around 18 months I believe (we started him at 2.5 so wasn’t paying attention to the younger info. Most of the schools around here do. It’s so the kids are easily identifiable when they are outside. Each school has a different color and they would know who everyone belongs with. I personally like it because of the ease.

Uniforms are so expensive like wdym a polo is 20 bucks. 😫

I misunderstood the question and voted yes. But my answer is no. 1 is too young to be mandating a uniform for daycare IMO. They grow so much the first 2 or so years of their lives. Parents will be going through clothes so quickly and with this economy, who really had that kind of money to be blowing on clothes like that

One of my son’s nursery had a “uniform” it was just a t shirt with the logo. They did it to stop parents sending their children in expensive clothes and then making complaints about them coming home ruined. Depends on what the uniform is like.
