What to consider when buying nursery furniture

Budget – Before you go to market for Nursery furniture suppliers, it’s important to establish a budget that relates to the amount of equipment that you need.
Safety – When it comes to pupil safety, no stone should be left unturned. Consult with your staff to highlight any pressing health and safety needs, and make sure that your classroom furniture doesn’t present a risk to teachers or pupils alike.
Storage – Nursery furniture is small by design, but you’re not always going to need it laid out in the centre of the classroom. Look for solutions that are easy to carry around and store, should the need arise.
Zoning – Furniture should be your number one consideration when looking to build comfortable, productive learning environments that help deliver outcomes. Tables and chairs should complement each other and be positioned to facilitate a friendly, collaborative learning environment.
Materials – Nursery tables & chairs, play and storage kit comes in all manner of shapes, sizes, and materials. Take some time to list the pros and cons of different materials (MDF, plastic, beech etc.) and how they would suit the individual requirements of your staff and pupils.
