Frequently Asked Questions - Absolute Play
​
1. What types of playgrounds do you design?
We design a wide variety of playgrounds tailored to educational and community needs—whether it’s nature-inspired areas, inclusive play zones, EYFS spaces, or imaginative trim trails. Every design is unique and built around your goals, space, and budget.
​
2. How involved can I be in the design process?
Your input is essential. We work closely with you from day one, taking time to fully understand your vision and ensuring that every design decision reflects your priorities. It’s a true collaboration.
​
3. Do you offer inclusive play options?
Yes! Designing for all abilities is at the heart of what we do. Our inclusive play solutions ensure every child has the opportunity to enjoy and engage with the space, regardless of physical or sensory needs.
​
4. What safety standards do you follow during installation?
Safety is non-negotiable. All our equipment and installations comply with EN1176 safety standards. Our team carries out detailed risk assessments and quality checks throughout the project.
​
5. How long does installation usually take?
Installation timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. We’ll provide a clear schedule during the planning phase and keep you updated throughout, ensuring there are no surprises.
​
6. What materials do you use?
We use high-quality, durable materials suited to the UK climate. From timber to recycled plastic and steel, our selections are made for longevity, safety, and sustainability—without compromising on visual appeal.
​
7. Do you offer maintenance or aftercare?
Yes. We provide a tailored aftercare pack and assign you a key account manager to support you post-installation. We also offer ongoing maintenance services to ensure your playground stays in top condition.
​
8. Can you design around a specific theme or idea?
Absolutely. Whether you’re thinking about a nature trail, a storybook-inspired space, or a sensory garden, we love working with custom themes. Just share your ideas—we’ll bring them to life.
​
9. What age groups do you design for?
We cater for all ages—from toddlers through to KS2 children. Our designs are carefully planned to include age-appropriate activities that support physical, social, and cognitive development.
​
10. Can a playground help attract more visitors to our venue or business?
Absolutely. For leisure sites, hospitality venues, visitor attractions, garden centres, and community hubs, a well-designed playground can significantly boost footfall, increase dwell time, and enhance the overall visitor experience. Families are more likely to stay longer, return more often, and recommend your venue to others when there's a safe, engaging play space for children. We can tailor a design that aligns with your brand, setting, and commercial goals.
​
11. What if I have a set budget? Can you design to it?
Yes—we design to all kinds of budgets. Whether you're working with £5,000 or £100,000+, we'll help you make the most of every penny. Just let us know your budget early on, and we'll tailor the design, materials, and layout to meet your goals without compromising on quality or impact. We’re also happy to phase projects if needed or offer guidance on funding options.
​
12. How do I get started?
