Frequently asked questions

Who is eligible for the £2000 EA Nursery Grant?

This funding has been awarded by the Education Authority (EA) to nurseries across Northern Ireland. If you are an EA‑funded nursery or nursery unit, you are eligible to spend this grant on improving your indoor or outdoor learning environment.

Do you offer products from EA‑approved suppliers?

Yes. We stock a wide range of trusted early years brands. If you need something specific that isn’t on our website, we can source it for you.

I don’t know what to buy - can you recommend options?

Absolutely. We’ve created ready‑to‑go nursery bundles designed specifically around the £2000 EA budget. These bundles make it easy to spend your funding quickly and effectively.

Can I mix and match items instead of buying a bundle?

Of course. Bundles are optional. You can choose individual items from our Nursery Collection, and we’ll help you build a basket that fits your budget and needs.

What if the item I want isn’t on your website?

Just ask. We regularly source additional products for nurseries and can often find exactly what you’re looking for - even if it’s not part of our standard range.
