About EASE

Creating modern learning environments for Irish schools, crèches and families

Do you want to create an innovative, practical and inspiring learning environment? You have come to the right place.

EASE, Educational and Study Equipment Ltd, is a family-run Irish business based in Knocktopher, Co. Kilkenny. Established in 1992 by James and Caroline Devereux, EASE has grown to become one of Ireland’s leading suppliers of educational furniture, classroom resources, sensory equipment and learning-through-play products.

As parents of four children ourselves, we understand how important it is to choose products that are safe, durable, comfortable and genuinely suited to children’s learning environments. For over 30 years, we have worked closely with schools, crèches, preschools, childcare providers, government organisations and parents throughout Ireland.

Our objective is simple: to make it easier to create high-quality learning spaces where children can Play, Discover and Learn.

What makes EASE different?

We combine a carefully selected range of trusted educational brands, with different price points depending on your budget,  with friendly Irish service, practical product knowledge and simple ordering options for schools and childcare settings.

Our product range includes school furniture, preschool furniture, tables and chairs, classroom storage, sensory room equipment, soft seating, educational toys, outdoor play equipment and teaching resources. Every product is chosen with the needs of Irish schools, crèches and early years settings in mind.

James has been involved in the business from the very beginning and brings a wealth of experience in sourcing, manufacturing and supplying educational furniture and resources for the Irish market. Over the years, we have built strong relationships with many leading educational suppliers and brands, including Moje Bambino, Kit for Kids, TTS Education, Cosy Direct, Miniland, Winther and many more. This is central to our promise to deliver great quality products.

Many of our most popular products are held in stock in our Kilkenny warehouse, helping us provide fast and reliable delivery across Ireland.

Who we work with

We work with a wide range of customers across the education sector, including:

Primary school principals, teachers and secretaries looking for durable, age-appropriate classroom furniture and school supplies.

Preschool, Montessori and early years educators creating colourful, practical and engaging learning spaces for young children.

Crèche owners and childcare managers furnishing playrooms, toddler rooms, preschool rooms, sensory areas and outdoor spaces.

SEN coordinators and support teachers sourcing sensory room equipment, calming resources and tools to support children with additional needs.

Government organisations, community services and public bodies looking for reliable educational suppliers with experience in bulk orders, quotes and school invoicing.

Parents looking for high-quality educational toys, furniture and learning resources for children at home.

Whether you are setting up a new classroom, refreshing a preschool room, developing a sensory space or ordering everyday school resources, our team is here to help.

All transactions are securely processed by Shopify Payments or Paypal. See details under Security Heading.

Making school ordering easy

We know that ordering for a school or crèche is not always the same as ordering for home. You may need a quote, approval from a board or manager, or the option to pay by invoice.

That is why we offer practical service features designed for Irish educational settings, including:

  • Quick Quote options online
  • Invoice the School payment option
  • Friendly customer support from our Kilkenny team
  • Competitive delivery rates
  • Free delivery options on qualifying orders
  • Secure checkout through Shopify Payments and PayPal
  • Fast dispatch on in stock items 

We are always happy to talk to our customers, and we like it that way. If you need help choosing products, matching tables and chairs, planning a classroom bundle or placing an order, please contact us.

The EASE team

Over 30 years ago, EASE began by manufacturing and distributing a unique range of numeracy products for teachers and children to use in the classroom. Since then, the business has grown and expanded, but our core ethos has stayed the same: to provide quality, carefully selected products that are relevant to the Irish education market.

Today, James and Caroline Devereux continue to lead the business, supported by a dedicated team including our warehouse, customer service and educational resource specialists.

We are proud to be a family-run Irish company, and even prouder to support the schools, crèches, teachers, childcare professionals and families who help children learn every day.
