Parents supply diapers, change of clothes and hats, mitts, toques, bathing suits etc. i ask that a lot of this stay here but some take them home daily. I also ask for a sippy cup if young because some kids have a preference and they are pricey. If they just need a water bottle, I supply them.

However, I have a stash of shoes, hats, mitts, toques, neck warmers, bathing suits, hooded towels etc here in case of forgotten items or if what they sent annoys me lol.

Things like muddy buddies, bibs, smocks, sunscreen etc is bought by me and is daycares. I figure it's just cost of running business and I factor this into my daily fee.

I personally would rather have things I like and prefer because it is me that deals with the kids 9 hours a day. I do send a detailed list of winter items as I hate fleece mittens, flimsy boots, scarves, short mitts etc. but I have spares here that I really like and I've found cheap.
