First Day at Creche

You’ll label everything. The cups, the bottle, the spare clothes, the backpack that’s somehow comically large on them. And then, one day, you’ll stand at the door, hand them over to someone else, and walk away while they stay behind.

The packing is the easy part. It’s also, mostly, what you’ll focus on instead of thinking too much about the rest of it.

Tiny Human, Huge Backpack

Here's the practical list: a backpack they can actually carry, a cup that doesn't leak in a bag, a lunchbox that opens with toddler hands, a full change of clothes, and everything labelled — twice.

We’ve pulled together the everyday essentials, along with a few helpful tips for settling in, finding a first-week routine that works, and navigating those teary drop-offs — which, more often than not, are over about ninety seconds after you leave.
