Nursery Visual Toolkit – Early Years Edition | Printable EYFS & SEN Visual Supports for Nurseries & Childminders

Less Anxiety. More Independence. A Calmer Nursery Day for Every Child.

When children know what's happening and what comes next, everything changes. Less distress at transitions. More confidence at drop-off. Calmer, happier children — and a calmer, happier setting.

The Reggie & co Nursery Visual Toolkit – Early Years Edition is a comprehensive 78-page printable EYFS resource built for nurseries, preschools, childminders, and families with young children aged approximately 2–5. Every page is designed to help young children understand their world, express how they feel, and build the independence and confidence they need to thrive.

Particularly powerful for children with autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, and other neurodivergent needs — and equally valuable for any child who benefits from visual structure and predictability.

An A4 printable PDF, available for instant download immediately after purchase. Print at home or at your local print shop — no waiting, no postage.

Is anything physically posted?

No — this is a digital product only. You'll receive an instant download link immediately after purchase. Nothing is posted. There's no waiting around.

What age is this toolkit for?

Designed for children aged approximately 2–5. Particularly beneficial for children with autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, or other neurodivergent profiles — and for any young child who responds well to visual routine and structure.

Is this suitable for EYFS settings?

Yes — it's designed specifically with EYFS settings in mind. Every resource is built around the kinds of routines, transitions, and communication needs that are central to early years practice.

Can childminders use it?

Absolutely. The Single Class Licence covers one setting, which includes childminding settings. The resources work just as well in a home environment as in a nursery or preschool.

Is it suitable for children with SEND, autism, or speech and language needs?

Yes — visual supports are particularly effective for children with autism, ADHD, speech and language delays, sensory processing differences, and other neurodivergent profiles. That said, the toolkit is designed to benefit all young children, not just those with identified needs. Structure and visual routine help every child feel more confident and settled.

How do I use the visual cards?

Print the pages you need, laminate them for durability, and display them at child height in your setting. Use the routine cards to show children what's happening throughout the day, the First/Then and Now/Next boards to support transitions, and the feelings resources to help children identify and communicate their emotions. Full guidance notes are included in the PDF.
