Is your child starting or returning to childcare soon? Do you need to bring your own sheets for them to nap in during the day? Living Textiles has created a range of bedding specifically for childcare cots, stacking beds and mats to make the transition as easy as possible. North Shore Mums reviewer, Olivia Cullen, shares her experience.
When our children start childcare, daycare or preschool it’s often a time met with a whole roller coaster of emotions – and not just for our little bubs! Will they settle okay at drop off? Will they be given food they like to eat? Where & how will they sleep?
At least one of these questions has been answered for me with the Living Textiles childcare sheet range, which is made from the softest 100% cotton jersey fabrics and with absolutely stunning designs. Their range of childcare bedding is simply gorgeous!
We received a childcare stacker sheet set for my 18 month old toddler a couple of weeks before she started childcare, and straight away my daughter couldn’t stop rolling around with the soft fabric – she LOVED it! We also got a deluxe nap mat for my three-year-old, who has proceeded to beg me to let her sleep with her new “sleeping bag” many times. Both are made from breathable 100% cotton jersey interlock that stretches to fit a variety of stacker bed sizes and is both durable and super soft.
First week at childcare!
Childcare Stacker Sheets for Chloe, 18 months
This week was my littlest one’s first week at childcare and to my absolute surprise, she was their best sleeper there. For a mum who had some serious challenges getting this girl to settle, this was music to my ears and has put my heart at ease knowing she is sleeping safely & comfortably in her new environment. My three-year-old also came home raving about how great her day was and how much she loved having her snuggly blanket for rest time!
You can really see these items have been designed with so much thought and love. From the softest fabrics, quality workmanship & gorgeous designs (6 different patterns to choose from for both the stacker sheet set and deluxe nap mat) right down to the ease of transport and a designated place to label their nap-time essentials (which will also make life easier for our beloved childcare teachers!). Everything has been thought of for us, to ensure there is one less thing to worry about on that nerve-racking first day!
The Living Textiles Childcare Sheets
Childcare Stacker Sheet
Childcare Stacking Sheet – Butterfly Garden
The childcare stacker sheet comes complete with elasticated fitted sheet and generous top sheet sewn on the one side, so it’ll never get lost (genius). A built-in pillowcase made from 100% cotton and filled with hypoallergenic, moisture resistant (polyester) filling is also a really nice touch to make nap-time that much comfier on those stretcher beds! All of this comes neatly packaged in a matching cotton-bag which everything can be folded into for easy transport.

Childcare Nap Mat
Childcare Napmat – Grey Stripe
The nap mat works somewhat like a sleeping bag but without the side zipper. It has a snuggly quilted base, built-in pillow (which can easily be removed for washing) and super soft cotton jersey blanket which all rolls up into one neat sausage and secures with elastic straps… once again for super easy transport that even my three-year-old could manage.
