Blockout for daytime naps
Nursery blinds are often chosen for a blockout fabric, since a darker room during the day can help settle a nap that would otherwise be disrupted by daylight.
For the nursery
Nursery blinds with cordless, chain-free control
Nursery blinds need calm, predictable operation as much as light control, with nothing left hanging within reach of a cot. Cordless control and a considered fabric choice let you manage light without adding a chain to the room.

What the room needs
What a nursery window needs
A nursery needs calm, predictable light for naps at odd hours, alongside a control that keeps cords and chains away from a cot or change table.
Chain-free operation
Keeping a hanging chain out of the room matters more here than almost anywhere else, which is why cordless control is worth considering first.
Fewer gaps around the edges
A full blockout cassette closes the headbox and side channels around the blind, reducing the light that a standard roller blind lets in at the edges.

Practical tips for a nursery window
A nursery is planned around calm, predictable use, so consider the control, fabric and fit together, and keep the cot's position in mind before deciding what to order.
Choose cordless control
ZeroGravity® cordless operation has no hanging chain, and where a chain control is chosen instead, a safety device is supplied to secure it.
Plan around the cot
Plan the window treatment around where the cot and change table will sit, keeping any control mechanism clear of both.
Order cassette and blind together
A full blockout cassette is ordered together with a compatible under-roll blockout blind, matched using your dimensions and window name.
Compare samples for daytime naps
View a blockout sample in the nursery during the day, since this is when the fabric's effect on nap time matters most.

Nursery Blinds: your questions answered.
What are the best nursery blinds for daytime naps?＋
A blockout fabric is the usual choice for nursery blinds used during the day, since it blocks light passing through the material and can help settle a nap that daylight would otherwise disrupt. A full cassette reduces the light that still shows around the edges.
Are nursery blinds safe around a cot?＋
Our product information does not set out a specific safety standard, so check the supplied instructions for your chosen control. ZeroGravity® cordless removes the hanging chain entirely, and a chain control is supplied with a safety device to secure it away from a cot.
What is ZeroGravity® cordless control?＋
It is a cordless, spring-balanced system that lets you raise and lower the blind by hand and release it at your preferred height, with no hanging chain. The system is designed for blinds sized up to 3 metres wide by 3 metres drop.
Does a blockout fabric make the nursery completely dark?＋
No. Blockout describes the fabric, and light can still pass around the edges of a standard roller blind. A full blockout cassette, which encloses the headbox and side channels, addresses more of that edge light.
Can I order samples before choosing a nursery colour?＋
Yes. Compare a physical fabric sample in the nursery during the day, since this is when its effect on naps matters most, and check it against the room’s existing colours before ordering.
How is a full blockout cassette ordered?＋
The cassette and a compatible under-roll blockout blind are ordered together and matched using your dimensions and window name, so plan the two as one system rather than as separate products, checking the clear depth needed from any nearby obstruction.
