Our Commitment to Learning and Safety

Play with Purpose: Our Commitment to Learning and Safety

At StoryTime Scarves, we believe that the most powerful learning happens through play. Every scarf is designed not only to be a beautiful accessory, but also to be a key that unlocks your child's imagination, while giving you complete peace of mind.

Designed for Development, Inspired by a Teacher: As a company founded by an early years educator, our products are deeply rooted in a real-world understanding of how children learn and grow. Each scarf is a multi-sensory, open-ended tool that supports your child's development in line with the UK's Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. 

Sparks Imagination and Creativity: StoryTime Scarves are intentionally designed for open-ended play—play with no set rules or fixed outcomes. This freedom encourages children to become the directors of their own stories, fostering creativity, problem-solving skills, and the confidence to explore their ideas.  

A Rich Sensory Experience: From the moment they are born, children learn by exploring the world through their senses. The tactile nature of our scarves is vital for this discovery. It helps build crucial nerve connections in the brain, supports the development of fine motor skills needed for writing, and can have a wonderfully calming effect, helping children regulate their emotions. 

Builds Language and Communication: As children create stories, act out roles, and describe the textures and images on their scarves, they naturally expand their vocabulary and develop into confident communicators.  

Our Uncompromising Commitment to Your Child's Safety: We understand that safety is your top priority when selecting a toy. That's why we take our responsibility to you and your child incredibly seriously. StoryTime Scarves are fully classified and tested as toys, adhering to the UK's stringent safety regulations.

UKCA Certified for Your Peace of Mind: Every StoryTime Scarf carries the UKCA mark. This guarantees that the product has been officially declared safe and meets the legal requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.  

Rigorously Tested: Our scarves are tested to the British Standard BS EN 71. This comprehensive standard encompasses multiple safety aspects, including ensuring the absence of hazardous sharp edges or small parts, verifying flammability, and testing for the presence of harmful chemicals.  

Safe, Child-Friendly Materials: We use non-toxic, child-friendly paints and materials, ensuring our products are free from harmful substances like Phthalates and BPA.  

Clear Guidance: All our products are clearly labelled with age-appropriate guidance. We always recommend checking that a toy is suitable for your child's age and supervising play to ensure a fun and safe experience for everyone.
