Millhouse Sand and Water Stations – A Must-Have for Every Early Years Setting

At the heart of every early years environment is one simple truth – children learn best through play. And when it comes to sensory exploration and hands-on fun, Millhouse Sand and Water Stations are a perfect choice for nurseries, preschools, and reception classrooms looking to encourage creativity, collaboration, and curiosity.

Why Choose Millhouse Sand and Water Stations?

Millhouse is known for its expertly designed, UK-manufactured furniture for early years settings – and their sand and water stations are no exception. Built with quality, safety, and educational value in mind, these units offer a perfect blend of durability and versatility for busy classrooms.

Here’s what makes them stand out:

✅ Built to Last

Millhouse stations are crafted from solid birch plywood and feature a child-friendly, water-resistant finish. With sturdy locking castors, they're easy to move and secure in place – ideal for flexible classroom layouts or indoor/outdoor use.

✅ Designed for Little Learners

Available in a range of sizes to suit toddlers through to early Key Stage 1, the stations are ergonomically designed with the correct height for comfortable, accessible play. Some models even feature storage trays, shelves, or a low-level shelf for storing accessories like scoops, buckets, and funnels.

✅ Promotes Sensory and STEM Learning

Sand and water play supports key EYFS outcomes – including fine motor skills, language development, and early science and maths concepts. Whether children are pouring, measuring, building, or simply exploring textures, these stations provide a safe, contained space to play and learn.

✅ Easy to Clean and Maintain

Hygiene is essential in early years settings. The Millhouse units are designed with smooth, easy-wipe surfaces and removable trays or tubs, making daily cleaning a breeze.
