Anyone who has worked in a daycare knows: dishes have to withstand a lot. They fall, are washed daily, used by dozens of children – and still need to be safe and free of harmful substances. Plastic is out for health reasons, ceramic is too heavy and fragile, silicone quickly loses its shape. Enamel is the surprise winner in this comparison – and not without reason. YIV children's tableware is produced by an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer – an internationally recognized standard for consistent quality and safe production processes.
Why more and more daycares are opting for enamel
Enamel is essentially fired glass on steel – that sounds tough, but it's exactly what's needed in daily daycare life. No harmful substances, no BPA, no microplastics. Dishwasher safe, lightweight, and durable for years with proper care. And frankly: it also looks nicer than the usual plastic stack in the daycare cupboard.
One dish for everything
When it comes to bicycle helmets, we pay attention to safety, materials, certifications. For children's dishes – the thing children eat from daily – often not. Yet the difference between plastic and enamel is obvious.
YIV enamel tableware accompanies children everywhere: in daycare, on forest days, at bonfires with scouts, camping – and just as naturally at home at the dinner table. Especially the YIV Trio Set is made for this: plate, cup, and bowl – everything included, everything coordinated, for indoors and outdoors. No second set of dishes, no compromise. Parents who know the dishes buy them for home. Daycares that use them recommend them. That's quality you can feel.
The YIV Children's Tableware
YIV offers various options – from individual cups to the children's plate (CHF 39) to complete sets like the Trio Set (CHF 139). This allows the equipment to be flexibly adapted to the size of the group, whether it's a small playgroup or a large daycare with several groups.
For forest playgroups, scouts, and daycares, there's an individual discount – with a tailor-made offer and coordinated delivery time.
Especially for forest playgroups & scouts: enamel on the fire
Enamel is not only robust – it is also heat-resistant. This makes it the ideal companion for forest playgroups, scouts and anyone who cooks outdoors. The YIV cup can be placed directly on the grill rack to warm tea, soup, or cocoa. Something can be prepared or heated over the fire in the plate – completely without plastic, completely without worries. This is real added value for educational concepts that bring children closer to nature.
And the best part: after use over the fire, simply soak it in household baking soda – soot and residues dissolve effortlessly. No scrubbing, no chemical cleaner, no effort.
Quality that can be proven

FAQ
Is enamel really safe for toddlers?
Yes. Enamel consists of steel and a layer of glaze – without plasticizers, BPA, or melamine. As long as the surface is intact, it is one of the safest materials for children's tableware. Additionally, YIV children's tableware is produced by an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer – which gives daycares and parents the assurance that quality is not a coincidence. In case of chipping (which is rare), the piece should be replaced – just like with ceramic.
What happens if a plate falls?
Enamel is more robust than ceramic, but not indestructible. With strong impacts, the glaze can chip. In daily daycare life, we recommend briefly checking the plates regularly – this takes seconds and is sensible for any tableware.
Is enamel dishwasher safe?
Yes. It is best to use the glass washing program.
Can enamel be used over a fire?
Yes – that's one of the biggest advantages over plastic or silicone. Cups and plates can be placed directly on the grill grate. Afterward, simply soak them in household baking soda – soot and burn residues dissolve effortlessly, without aggressive cleaning agents.
What variants are available?
YIV offers individual pieces (cups, plates) as well as complete sets – including the popular Trio Set with plate, cup, and bowl. Suitable for any group size. Just ask, we'll be happy to advise you.
