    Several key components of early years education are recognised centring around play and curriculum. Learning essentially will need to be enjoyable, fun and interactive, this promotes interest and encourages children to retain information whilst enjoying learning.

    Classroom resources are specifically created to be eye-catching, colourful and include a range of textures and ideas to really involve children in their own learning. Whatever the age, ability and topic, classroom resources can be acquired appropriate for interactive learning and child development. The range consists of text letters and number bags, foreign language resources for example houses and calendars to enhance learning new words, weather windows, human body and organ resources, planets and solar system mats, maths games and number rhymes bags.

    Promoting sensory development in young children may be accomplished through play. Sensory experiences can develop learning and help a child understand the world and retain information. Many of our favourite childhood memories involve various senses. Sensory toys are designed to develop sensory skills and aid dexterity and practical learning.

    Art is an important element of early years and pre-school development and education. Creativity stimulates imagination providing a means of articulating thoughts and emotions, whilst developing hand and eye co-ordination and motor skills. School art equipment provides a means of making artwork both enjoyable and practical, by combining essential storage solutions for coloured paper, pens and collage materials. Having the selection of these materials easily accessible, enables children to select what they need to stimulate their imagination and create their ideas.

    A crucial part of child psychological development is a sense of self and awareness of themselves in the world around them, it plays an integral part in human motivation, cognition and social identity.
    Mirrors at a young age can encourage this self awareness. It is shown that:
    - Young infants (age 6-12 months) appear to think the baby in the mirror is another baby. They smile and approach the baby in a friendly way.
    - Older babies (age 13-24 months) respond with a little more hesitation at this point. The start self-recognition.
    - Toddlers (age 20-24 months) appear to clearly realize that the reflection in the mirror is their own. The obvious indication of this is that while looking in the mirror, they touch the dot of lipstick on their own nose instead of touching the mirror.

    School storage units provide the essential storage solutions for any school room environment. Constructive play facilitated for younger children if they have ordered and arranged toys and resources which they can access conveniently. Bookcases are brilliant for storing books which children can actively pick from display and also useful for artwork and craft materials. Classroom tidies offer the perfect option for toy storage, allowing children to locate and select easily what they want to play with. A wide selection of classroom furniture is available and the cupboard ranges provide multipurpose storage options and displays. School trays provide different storage possibilities from nursery and pre-school's requirement to store larger chunkier toys, to storage needs in classrooms for older children who need individual tray tidies and art work storage.
