Have you got all the correct signage in place at your service?

With the announcement of the latest closures for the Early Years Sector it is a good opportunity to take stock and to check that you have all the correct signage and posters in place at your service. It is important to have clear information and instructions for staff, families and children to ensure that everyone is continuing to take the correct precautions while engaging with your Early Years Services. At the Early Years Shop we provide a number of different posters, signs, floor stickers and stencils for both indoor and outdoor use. All of the products are designed to ensure that you can wipe clean for sanitising purposes. All posters are designed using bright and friendly colours and fonts to ensure they remain child friendly.  We are delighted to announce three new A3 wipe clean posters to the range. See details below for all our essential wipe-clean posters and other signage around COVID-19 safety and hygiene.

Nappy Change Procedure

Nappy changing is an area of very poor compliance in many settings. Be sure to remind staff of the correct steps including glove and apron disposal. Particularly important when we are trying to ensure the best hygiene possible.

Wipe-Clean Hygiene Posters

We have a number of different wipe-clean posters available on the Early Years Shop to show correct procedures for hygiene. All posters are A3 size and are laminated to ensure that they can be sanitised as and when required. The posters include:

• Hand Washing for Children in English and Irish
• Want to Blow your nose? in English and Irish
• Hand Washing Early Years Guidelines for Carers
• How to Handrub (WHO/HSE Poster)
• How to Handwash (WHO/HSE Poster)
• Nappy Changing Poster

Outdoor Signs

We have a number of outdoor signs available with clear instructions for parents and visitors to your service including:

Hello Everyone A2 Outdoor Poster

The A2 Hello Everyone poster is an image of a sign in a frame with brackets printed on thick, waterproof corriboard. The poster is for the families of the children who attend your service. It outlines the guidelines they need to follow in relation to any child who is unwell or may be showing signs of Covid-19. It is very important that this information is communicated well with parents before their children are allowed to enter the service. Corriboard is lightweight and environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable. It can be wiped clean if disinfecting is required.

No Congregating Please

A1 Outdoor sign with colourful poster (594 X 841mm) for compliance with Tusla recommendations. Our friendly sign will promote good distancing practice and avoid people gathering outside your setting. It also provides that important evidence to the inspector of the measures you are taking to control infection.

The 'No Congregating' Sign is available on its own, in a wall-mountable snap frame, or in a standing frame for use on the pavement.

They have been designed with children in mind using bright colours and pictures. They are easy to apply and can be wiped clean as per hygiene requirements. We also have floor stencils available that can be used for both indoor and outdoor use. The stencils can be used with our huge range of spray paints for an impactful finish!
