The five things young families always ask about
Every young families survey we run in Croft lands on the same short list:
- Cordless by design — no cord anywhere the child could reach, ever
- Wipeable finish that survives felt-tip, food and yoghurt
- Blackout for nap time — proper darkness for a 1pm sleep
- No small parts that can be pulled off and swallowed
- Quiet operation for after-bath tilt down while the toddler is drifting off
Our short list of products for this brief
Across Croft young families projects, the short list is short on purpose:
- Full-height shutters, Pure White, no visible tilt rod — nothing for a toddler to pull
- Waterproof ABS shutters for nursery en-suites and family bathrooms
- Perfect Fit blackout roller behind shutters in east-facing nurseries
- Cordless roller with spring-assist for playrooms and older-child bedrooms
The final pick depends on the room, the light and the openings — decided on the survey, not by a call-centre.
Our process — adjusted for young families
The survey is done at a time that suits nap schedules — most family bookings sit at 10am or 1pm on a weekday. Fitting is quiet, planned around one room at a time so the child's bedroom is never out of use overnight.
Croft survey days are grouped so travel stays tight — the workshop is 15 min from stockton heath, on the M6 J21 — 4 min corridor.
Where we've earned this pitch
Every product we specify for a room a child sleeps or plays in meets BS EN 13120 for child safety — that's a legal requirement for rental properties and a common-sense choice for a family home.
Window-blind cord strangulation is one of the most common preventable household hazards for under-fives — every product we recommend for a child's room removes the cord entirely, not just tucks it out of reach.
Why this page exists
The window dressing has to be safe by design (not just "safe with the cord tied up"), it has to survive sticky fingers and porridge, and the bedroom needs to actually get dark at 7pm in June.
Parents with under-fives, expectant parents and families extending or reconfiguring for a new baby.
In Croft (WA3 7) that translates into village cottage and 1970s detached, mostly along the A574 Smith Lane corridor.
Specification evidence
What we check before pricing a WA3 7 project
Reveal depth, sash hardware, panel span and daily privacy needs are measured in person. That is why the usual Croft project sits around £2,000 – £4,800, rather than being forced into a generic online estimate.
