Frequently Asked Questions about Early Years Storage & Display

  • How can storage furniture be part of the room rather than just basic storage?

    Storage units are no longer just vessels for resources, they can become active, purposeful elements of the learning environment if utilised properly. Use them to create defined learning zones, open shelving can be used to anchor specific spaces, such as book corners or construction zones. If units are kept at a low level, a feeling of space is maintained, and practitioners remain able to supervise the whole room easily. Units can also be used to create logical pathways through a room, preventing traffic through focused play zones.

  • What are the benefits of effective storage in the EYFS?

    Choosing the right height and accessible furniture will encourage child independence and choice. Using labels, either with simple words or pictures will help children to not only make choices but effectively tidy up. Practical furniture, which features locks and out-of-reach storage will help keep the environment safe and compliant with safety guidelines.

Rounded edges will help protect children in the event of bumps during active play. Anti-trap hinges are essential to minimise the risk of fingers getting injured. Finally, materials which can be cleaned easily – woods treated so they can be wiped clean and disinfected, soft furnishings which can be removed and washed.
