About this resource

Before You Press 'Order'... A Reception Teacher's Essential Stock Checklist Running a Reception classroom means spinning a hundred plates at once, and it's often the little things that get forgotten until you've completely run out of them! This practical checklist has been designed to take the stress out of ordering by bringing together the consumables and everyday essentials I regularly stock up on throughout the year. From stationery and creative resources to sensory play ingredients, cleaning supplies and those easy-to-forget extras, this resource is designed to save you time, support budget planning and help ensure your classroom is always well prepared. Inside you'll find: • Writing and office essentials • Creative area consumables • Sensory and malleable play ingredients • Cleaning and hygiene supplies • Personal care items • Outdoor provision essentials • Snack and cooking ingredients • Literacy and book area supplies • The things I always forget! Perfect for Reception teachers, EYFS leaders and anyone responsible for ordering resources, this checklist is one you'll return to time and time again throughout the school year.
