Visual Timetable for Nursery, Childminders & Preschool, 45 Visual Aids

This chart is Amazing, it’s strong and colourful and covers every senario. They used to be called Persinak Education Charts and are invaluable for children or anyone with special needs to be able to know what is happening and when, in the day. Just being able to see, takes so much stress and anxiety away. When I worked with special needs we had to make these charts, they took a lot of time and a very expensive computer program. I tried when I was childminding to nake my own but again very hard to do and nothing like this good. I am impressed, the Velcro is strong and the cards seem strong enough to survive the use they will get. Very impressed.

I am autistic and I use visual timetables every day to process and understand what is going to happen in my day. This set is so well made and for the price it is just brill. There are 3 boards that you can stick the Velcro cards onto and they are quite thin. They are long but I still think they could be taken out an about in a bag. It comes with many different Velcro cards that show a variety of daily tasks such as 'messy play' or 'dinner time'. There are cards for most daily activities that your child or adult may use. They are such good quality and very durable which we all know is crucial for those with additional needs. These can be stuck on a wall or kept as they are so they are able to be transported. It comes with the words as well as a cartoon image of what the activity or things look like which also supports the development of speech and follows on with speech and language therapy, so overall is great for supporting a persons development. There is not a card for every single activity but there is for most things but if you feel it is necessary I think you could make your own to put on. For the price this is brilliant and if someone you know struggles with getting through the day you must try a visual timetable to support them with the transition between each day to day task

Too small for children to view and understand quickly

For those who have children who have sensory needs this is a game changer, to be able to relay your intentions for tasks visually helps them adapt to change as they are able to process what comes next. Great design and quality

I absolutely love this visual timetable for toddlers and young children! In fact, I love it so much, I have already gone ahead and purchased lots more products from the same brand. The visual timetable is excellent quality. The backing boards are sturdy and incredibly simple to attach and remove the visual aid cards to/from. The cards have rounded corners and are made from durable material which is very difficult to bend, rip or otherwise damage. The cards feature stick figures which are gender and race neutral, representative of all children/people. This pack includes 44 symbols which are relevant to children attending nursery/preschool/childminders, such as: circle time, snack, arts & crafts, play a game, etc. They are absolutely wonderful, my toddler loves them, although I have given this set to his preschool teacher to use in class because they're intended to be used there, rather than me using them at home. My toddler's teacher loved them and agreed that they are brilliant! I cannot recommend this product and brand enough. The customer service from the seller is also excellent. I am sure I'll be using these products for years to come and will be recommending them to all of my parent friends!

I work in a pre school and find visual timetables useful in explaining now and next , helping with talking about the day and to support routines and transitions throughout the day. There are 44 visual symbols with all the activities that you might find or need in pre school and school such as washing hands tidy up, snack time etc. the symbols are clear and well drawn and have the word written clearly underneath in lower case letters. The cards have rounded edges and look and feel durable. They attach to the three foamed boards with Velcro circles. The foamed boards have a long Velcro strip down the middle of the board. The boards are lightweight, fairly study but do not have rounded corners which could be an issue if the board is not attached to the wall. Otherwise this is great aid to support children with their day.

These are a really nice comprehensive set of PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) cards. My son is autistic and while some of these cards are too young for him - potty for example - there are plenty that we can bring into use. They come with 3 nice sturdy strips to stick your chosen cards to and the cards are robust with nicely rounded edges. Lots of well thought out cards with clear pictures and words on, this is good feature in PECS cards as it encourages word recognition as well as picture recognition. I am very pleased with these and hope to get a lot of use out of them with my son as it can be difficult to find good resources that are also reasonably priced - so thank you!

This product was primarily ordered for my 3-year old as I wanted to visually introduce her into memorable daily tasks and enrich her association skills with pictures and words. 👍 The Good ✅ Educational Value The visual cards serve as an excellent tool for young children, particularly those in nursery, to grasp and follow daily routines. This aspect is crucial in early childhood development as it aids in building a sense of time, sequence, and responsibility. ✅ Engagement According to the way my daughter interacted with these cards , I think the cards are engaging and even exciting for children, which is a positive attribute. The ability for a child to interact with the card - choosing what to do next and removing a card upon completion of a task—supports active learning and decision-making. ✅ Size and Quality In terms of size, I think these are perfect for 'small hands', balancing ease of handling with visibility. Additionally, each card comes with strong Velcro which makes each card very durable - this is important for frequent handling by young children. ✅ Versatility We found some of the cards not really suitable for home use, however - as a learning aid, they may be definitely suitable in nursery's and for educators as well. 👎 The Bad ❌ Relevance of Content As mentioned above, some cards are definitely not useful for 'parents' - This might limit the product’s versatility for parents looking for a comprehensive home educational tool. I think it would be beneficial for the manufacturer to consider offering different sets tailored specifically to home and nursery settings. 🔍 Conclusion Overall, these visual cards are a well-designed educational tool that helps nursery-aged children develop communication skills and daily routines. The cards' focus on physical interaction and visual learning fits well with teaching methods for this age group. Future improvements could include making all cards relevant for both home and nursery use. Verdict: 3⭐ 📊 My 'Rating Guide' ⭐ Not worth the purchase ⭐⭐ Average ⭐⭐⭐ Worth considering but further research needed ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommended buy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product, better than I was expecting, highly rated.
