10 Keys to an Excellent Nursery

8. Soothing.

  • Families should walk into a soothing environment. 
  • Play soft lullabies in your hallways. 
  • Use relaxing colors.
  • Pick people to be your greeters who are full of smiles and a gentle spirit.

9. Safe.

  • Wall outlets and cabinets should be childproof.
  • Know the allergies and special dietary needs of children.
  • Regularly check toys and equipment for safety.

10. Supplied.

  • Sunday morning is not the time to run out of wet wipes. Keep inventory of your supplies. 
  • Use the church’s diapers instead of parent’s diapers. Parents will appreciate it, and you never know…you may bless a family that is in financial hardship. Diapers are expensive for a family on a limited budget.

The nursery is one of the most important areas of a church. It is where the earliest foundations are laid for a lifetime of following Christ. A growing nursery also means you are reaching young families, which reflects a healthy church.
