Getting an Early Start
Over the course of the many blogs we’ve compiled over the past few months, we’ve talked at length about our range of classroom items and primary education learning aids. That’s why we thought we’d take this opportunity to explore our nursery supplies and early learning materials in a bit more detail. By their very nature, the requirements of nurseries and pre-school institutions are naturally quite niche; children in the early stages of education require closer attention and a more secure environment. Additionally, learning stimulus must be more directly engaging, whilst simultaneously facilitating communication and social development. In today’s blog, we’re going to be looking at nursery supplies from a safety perspective, and finding out how you can build a constructive, safe environment in which to nurture your children.
Covering All Bases
From a health and safety perspective, the modern day nursery can prove to be somewhat of a high risk area for any number of little accidents. Hot radiators in the winter can be sensitive to touch, slippery and wet floors give rise to an increase in trips and falls, and there’s an abundance of places in which inquisitive fingers can get trapped or otherwise injured. No teacher or care giver likes to think about the possibility of accidents happening, but unfortunately their potential must be considered.
Here at Edusentials we supply a range of nursery supplies and furniture designed not just to help facilitate a safe environment, but also to afford staff peace of mind, and enable them to devote their full attention to nurturing and educating the pupils in their care. We’ve got a fantastic range of versatile safety gates to help cordon off or otherwise restrict access to some of the more high risk areas of the nursery. Our popular Flexi Fit Safety Gate, for example, is a steadfast means of securing access to or from a room; easily adaptable to fit most door frames, it’s a particularly effective method of barring access to certain rooms, i.e. the kitchen, whilst still affording high visibility. We’ve also got a choice of other safety gates, as well as protective radiator covers as we firmly believe in the old adage ‘prevention is better than cure’.
A Problem Divided
We also appreciate that at times, caregivers and staff members can be stretched a little thin across large groups of pupils. This is why it’s particularly important – especially at the early stages of education – to set up safe areas in which students can grow and play cooperatively whilst under close supervision. The variety of room dividers and playpens in our range are perfectly suited to this purpose, and provide an effective yet safe means of creating clearly defined areas in which students can play, secure under the watchful eye of their caregiver. Grouping children together also encourages cooperative play and social interaction, two core aspects of their ongoing emotional development.
Focussing On What Matters
By offering such a wide plethora of nursery furniture and safety items, we hope to empower teachers and caregivers to focus on the things that truly matter; care, education and development. We appreciate the safety and supervision are of paramount importance, particularly in the pre-school stages, and thus afford carers a wealth of options to make their nursery a safer place.
