Enabling Environments: Tried and Tested - Eat and drink

Childcarers put chairs and baby and toddler feeding equipment to the test for Nicole Weinstein.

A high standard of feeding equipment is essential in all childcare settings. Not only should tableware and seating be safe and age-appropriate, it should also be practical for staff to clean and store. Babies and toddlers benefit from cups and cutlery that enable them to grasp the skills to feed themselves, thereby developing co-ordination, dexterity and self-esteem. When bottle-feeding, chairs that provide comfort for the staff will result in pleasurable feeding routines all round.
