Who We Work With
Schools
For schools, playground equipment is an extension of the classroom. We help headteachers and governors choose layouts and equipment that promote learning, wellbeing and Ofsted outcomes, all within budget.
Councils and Communities
For councils and housing associations, we provide playgrounds that serve whole neighbourhoods. We design durable, low-maintenance equipment that stands up to heavy use and meets public safety standards.
Nurseries and Early Years
For nurseries, we focus on safe, stimulating equipment that encourages curiosity and early skill development, from sensory panels to low-level climbing frames.
