Emma from St Peters school bought Scandinavian Dungarees.
Proof that learning can be fun!
Having just received the dungarees the children in the Forest School group were exploring the woods. They found a 'secret den' amongst the twisted trunks of a clump of laurel bushes. They could not resist the branches and straight away they began a game of playing at being monkeys jumping in the branches. This lasted for about 20 mins - was very noisy, and thoroughly enjoyable for everyone concerned!! (they even learnt that wet branches were slippery and you couldn't climb them and small branches snapped off if you stood on them, fortunately in the fun of it all no-one was really hurt!).
Thanks again for the dungarees.
They are fantastic! The children absolutely love wearing them and it has made our Forest School sessions so much easier, both getting ready, as they each now know which colour (size) they wear and knowing that they will not have to worry about getting wet clothing. The fabric seems remarkably strong and has so far stood up to climbing trees and scrambling about in the woods! Thank you as well for the speed of service. They arrived Monday morning after a Friday order - brilliant, which meant they could wear them when a visiting assessor came to inspect our Forest School session - they were very impressed. thank - you again.

Over the years, Waterproof World has supplied many schools and nurseries with clothing for outdoor play. Our products go down so well, that we regularly see repeat business; with schools coming back again and again, to buy for different year groups, as the enthusiasm for outdoor learning spreads.
Here is some of the feedback we have received on our products from groups (usually as they RETURN to us, to increase their provision):
Alison from Thameside Nursery - Scandinavian Ocean Suits (5 years after previously purchasing our Scandinavian Kiba suits)
The Ocean 2 piece suits look great, and they don’t appear to be that different from the Kiba suits. We have certainly had our use out of them!!! Now we have babies, we so want them to enjoy the outdoors as much as our older children do. We couldn’t live without our waterproofs!!!
Kathy from Ellingham School - Ocean Trousers, Ocean Adult Jackets and Trousers, Togz Warm & Dry Suits
Just a quick email to say everything has been received today and I am so impressed with the quality – far superior than we have bought before – we will be replacing other items as they wear out, with yours !
[followed later by] Just to let you know that all the waterproofs have now been worn and we are so impressed ! We went out with another school that bought theirs from you nearly 10 years ago, and they are still going strong !!
Geoff from Kendal - Scandinavian Suit & Trousers
We like the waterproofs we buy from you because they are genuinely waterproof. The welded seams and waterproof material work much better than your average proofed nylon/taped seams garment. We are in the Lake District and enjoy the outdoors. We need our waterproofs to work.
Carole from Cairns Nursery - Scandinavian dungarees
As my staff let you know yesterday we are keen to stick with the quality we know and now we have different colours for different age groups/ sizes of children. Thanks for your help once again.
Shakiba from Salford Nursery - bought Togz All in One suits
I am just enquiring about the wet weather suits for my toddlers at my nursery setting. We previously purchased a big order back in 2009 and they have been a great success. I wanted to know if you do still do the suits and of any changes they have occurred over the years.
Mrs H from Newton Aycliffe School - Regatta Puddle Suits
We recently purchased a Regatta all in one.
My head teacher and I were very impressed with the quality of the garment and would like to make a further purchase. I would be grateful if you could send the order to school as soon as possible - I'm running out of dry clothes to put my soggy children in :)
Helen from Manchester Primary School bought Scandinavian Dungarees
Thank you. The waterproofs arrived last Friday and will be in action after Easter. I have lots of photos so will try to organise and send you some. We use them a lot for Forest School. They are hard wearing and really easy to use and wash up really well. The children like them because they look like fire fighters!!!!
Cheryl from Scottish Outdoor Nursery - Waterproof World Waders
I own an outdoor children's nursery in Scotland. As our children spend the majority of their time outdoors in woodland spaces they need to be attired appropriately. Over the last 3 years we have seen children dressed in a variety of different waterproofs and we have found for the wet Scottish climate that those who stay driest are the children who wear your waders.
Jan from New Tredegar Primary bought Scandinavian Suits
The suits are wonderful! The children love them and they love going outside to play and learn in all sorts of weather. We had an inspection three weeks ago and midway though that week we had a heavy fall of snow. We abandoned our planned activities, put on the suits and went out to play!
We are now ordering more suits for our year 1 and year 2 classes.
