Have you ever stopped and noticed the number of nurseries with brightly coloured walls and plastic toys? Is it really decoration, or distraction?
Primary colours are often a favourite, bringing bright splashes of colour to the children’s rooms, however research shows that more often than not these can be overwhelming for children. A neutral colour scheme is believed to enhance young minds, allowing children to develop further and get more from their learning activities.
Neutral colours on the walls can create a calming and nurturing environment where your child can focus on learning through play, instead of being side-tracked by any bright distractions around them.
The theme continues with some nurseries choosing bright plastic toys. Read more about why Tops Day Nurseries prefer to use non-battery powered, wooden toys, click here.
