Naomi Noir
Please dress your child in clothing suitable for moving in! We always say a t-shirt long enough to tuck in as we will be upside down for LOTS of the class or a leotard! Long sleeves and leggings are better.
​
Please keep the belongings you bring with you to a minimum, however, if the children are a little anxious/worried then they are absolutely welcome to bring a soft toy with them that reminds them of home so that they feel comfortable.
Pack a reusable water bottle as the children will need to be hydrated and well energised!
​
We are a NUT FREE ZONE due to allergies.
