Nursery clothes + tips

Hi yall! I need some suggestions on where to find clothes for my son to wear for Nursery, hes going to start Mid November. I have a few primark sets I purchased for cheap, all his other clothes are either too nice to be wore at nursery (dont want them ruined) or pyjamas 😅. Lmk what you did to prepare also! I am buying some labels to label the extra clothes he has as backup. We went in for settling in sessions and hes already gotten ill so I know that its inevitable and he will be getting sick as well as getting us all sick with him. Im really excited and im not anxious so respectfully, don’t comment things that will cause me anxieties! Lol Thanks! x

Primark or Vinted! Primark do like £4.50 ribbed sets and £2.30 jumpers - he lives in those! Definitely don’t send in anything you’re precious about as they come back a mess between mealtimes/ messy play/ garden play etc and despite the best stain removers it doesn’t always come out! We have ‘nursery clothes’ and home clothes. Anything in the home clothes section that gets badly stained becomes nursery clothes! Your LO will have so much fun.. & you’ll need to invest in some stain remover haha 😊 x

I bought a few multi packs of bodysuits, leggings and socks all from supermarkets and just use those on rotation!

We have a local swap/preloved sale that happens every month or so, it’s £10-20 to fill a bag depending on the size of the bag, and less if you take clothes to donate for the next sale. It’s so good for stocking up on things for nursery, I came away with about 40 items last time! Definitely worth looking to see if there’s one near you!

@Yasmin thanks so much hun! I completely forgot about vinted.

@Grace thats so cool ill just to see if we have that in Milton Keynes!

@Liv yeah I think the multipacks make things so much easier

Charity shops have a lot of pre-loved but still good condition clothes. Also basically any supermarket brand clothes (Asda, tesco, sainsburys etc). You can get multipacks or on sale items to make them even cheaper.

Vinted Most likely the clothes will get covered in paint or given to another child so don’t spend a fortune! Everyday I get given someone else’s clothes for my children đŸ€Ș

Asda George do packs of 7 matching top and bottoms, mine mostly wears them or we mix and match colours sometimes and add a matching clip! Vinted also good đŸ‘đŸ»

We buy multipacks of tops and trousers from supermarkets. Asda and Sainsbury's are good! I wouldn't get too worried saving kids clothes for best though because they'll grow out of them before you know it so won't be able to wear them anyway.

If you’re in the south there is a company that organises tabletop sales of kids stuff called “little pickles”. They are brilliant for picking up loads of cheap clothes in 1 go (normally 3 items for £1 type prices!)

I love Matalan for clothes

Vinted leggings and t shirts, easy to crawl around in don't get under their feet and nursery is roasting. I actually got some nice leggings from Matalan

I like matalan and George Asda! Cheap and cheerful

Be open to him wearing the nicer clothes as they grow so quick that soon they won’t fit 😀 x

@Louma omg good point!! If you give your nursery this will they actually put it on the babies before or will it just be added clothes? Thats my worry. I saw this at the first nursery i toured they supplied these for the kiddos but the one i ended up registering with they didn’t mention so ill ask in our next settle in session. ♡

@Emily good point! gotta do what you gotta do with what you have sometimes!

@Erin B love me a cheap and cheerful!! I think ill bisit matalan bc the pieces i saw in asda honestly were not cheap and quite nice loool

@Jessica im so glad i posted this as i would’ve never known!! Nice alternative to vinted as you can actually have a look at the clothes in your hand! X

@Caroline yeah true point! My sons on the smaller end, hes 13 months old and still in 6-9 months and sometimes can fit into 9-12 months depending on the brand. So ive been able to get long term use out of his clothes thankfully!
