Designing toilets for children isn’t just about shrinking
adult cubicles. Nursery and junior washrooms need to be safe, durable, easy to
clean, and welcoming enough that kids feel comfortable using them
independently. That’s exactly why Bridgewater Direct created two purpose-built
ranges: Tippy Toes for nurseries and early years, and Blossom for
junior and primary school washrooms.

Bridgewater Laminates has decades of experience designing
and manufacturing cubicle systems in the UK, with made-to-measure layouts and
quality hardware as standard. This experience shows through in both children’s
ranges, each one is designed around real school environments where washrooms
need to handle daily wear while remaining safe and hygienic.

Why Children’s Toilet Cubicles Need a Different Approach

School washrooms have very different demands compared with
offices or public venues. Children’s cubicles should:

• Be child-height
  so pupils feel confident and independent
• Allow
  easy supervision for staff when needed
• Have
  smooth, safe edges and reliable hardware to reduce pinch/trap risks
• Withstand
  heavy use from busy school days
• Stay
  easy to clean and maintain, even with frequent traffic

Tippy Toes and Blossom are designed specifically to meet
those needs, not adapted as an afterthought.

Tippy Toes Nursery Cubicles (Early Years & EYFS)

Tippy Toes is Bridgewater Direct’s nursery-focused
range for early years settings. These cubicles are built to support:

·       Independence
for little learners

Low-level doors and partitions help children feel
comfortable using toilets without feeling enclosed or overwhelmed.

·       Safety
first

Nursery environments need cubicles that stand up to daily
knocks while staying safe for small hands. Tippy Toes focuses on practical,
child-friendly construction and robust fittings.

·       Bright,
welcoming spaces

Early years washrooms benefit from colourful, playful
finishes that make the space feel friendly rather than clinical, especially
helpful for pupils still learning routines.

If you’re planning a nursery refurbishment or building new
EYFS washrooms, Tippy Toes is a straightforward way to create a safe, durable,
child-appropriate cubicle layout.

Blossom Junior Cubicles (Primary & Junior Schools)

Blossom is aimed at junior and primary school
washrooms — the stage where pupils are bigger, more independent, and washrooms
see very high daily use.

·       Sized
for junior users

Blossom cubicles are proportioned to suit children in
primary settings, helping with confidence and comfort.

·       Built
for busy school life

Primary toilets are high-traffic environments. Blossom is
designed to be hard-wearing and reliable day after day.

·       Flexible
layouts, made-to-measure

Every school washroom is different — odd corners, service
ducts, awkward wall runs. Bridgewater’s made-to-measure approach means Blossom
layouts can fit your room accurately without compromise.

Materials & Durability (What Schools Care About Most)

Schools need cubicles that aren’t just attractive on
installation day — they need them to last.

Bridgewater Direct cubicles are manufactured for commercial
performance, with durable panel systems and quality hardware designed for
repeated daily use.

Both Tippy Toes and Blossom are built around:

• easy-clean
  surfaces
• impact-resistant
  construction
• reliable
  hinges, locks and legs
• fast
  UK manufacture and dependable supply

That’s what makes them a good fit for education projects
where downtime and maintenance costs matter.

Choosing Between Tippy Toes and Blossom

A simple way to pick the right range:

• Tippy
  Toes → nurseries, infant washrooms
• Blossom
  → junior/primary washrooms, older pupils

If your building includes mixed age groups, it’s common to
use both ranges in the same school, matching cubicle height and style to
each area.
