Professional nursery blackout blind fitting - blocking light for better naps and earlier bedtimes. Cords cleated safely, blind level and working smoothly. Sleep solutions for exhausted parents.
Dark Room, Sleeping Baby
Summer evenings are the enemy of bedtime. Light streaming in at 8pm tells your baby it's still daytime. A properly fitted blackout blind creates darkness whenever you need it.
💡 Pro tip: True blackout means no light gaps. We fit blinds slightly wider than the window and use side channels where possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does blackout matter for babies?
Light tells the brain it's daytime. In summer especially, late evening sun and early morning light disrupt baby sleep. True blackout makes the room dark whenever you need it.
What about the cord safety?
We fit cord cleats as standard and explain safe cord management. Looped cords near cots are a strangulation hazard - we eliminate that risk.
Perfect fit or standard size?
We fit both. Perfect fit blinds that sit in the window recess give better blackout. Standard roller blinds work fine too with proper fitting.
Can you fit multiple windows?
Yes - often nurseries have more than one window. Fitting them all together is more efficient and ensures consistent blackout.
