Founded by an Early Years teacher and mum, Create Visual Aids provides ready-to-use visual resources that support communication, learning, independence and emotional development in nurseries, childminders and preschool settings across the UK and beyond.

We believe every child deserves to feel understood — and to be able to make themselves understood. Our resources encourage meaningful two-way communication: helping children understand what’s coming next in their day, while also giving a voice to those who find it difficult to express themselves verbally. Whether a child is navigating a busy nursery morning or working through a transition at home, visual support can make all the difference.

Our resources are designed with real Early Years settings in mind. We know that in a nursery, childminder or preschool environment, resources need to work hard. That’s why everything we create is made from high-quality, non-tear, durable materials, built to withstand repeated use by strong hands. Robust enough to stand up to daily use without any additional protection needed, our visual symbols are a practical investment for any setting.

Visual aids aren’t just for children with SEND — they benefit every child in your setting. For children with autism, ADHD or speech and language delays, our resources provide structure, reduce overwhelm and give them a reliable way to communicate their needs and feelings. For all children, seeing a visual timetable of the day ahead reduces anxiety, builds confidence and supports emotional regulation. When children know what to expect, they feel safe — and when they feel safe, they thrive.

Our resources also nurture independence. Rather than relying on an adult to interpret or anticipate their needs, children can point, choose and communicate for themselves — building vital skills that carry far beyond the Early Years.

Trusted by families, nurseries, childminders and schools, Create Visual Aids is here to make communication clearer and more accessible for every child.
