Dens, Huts & Teepees
Our range of Dens, Huts and Teepees create enabling environments for collaborative play and interaction, particularly among early years pupils.
Our Teepees are a key early years resource as they allow staff and pupils to create and change their own play environment with the use of sheets, blankets or other natural resources.
Huts can be designed to incorporate chalkboards for mark making and to encourage pupils engagement with literacy and numeracy.

Discovery
Our discovery range encourages pupils to learn more about their environment by creating habitats, such as Bug or Bee Hotels where pupils can observe creatures in the natural environment.
We also have a selection of identification boards to help pupils identify mini beasts or garden birds that can be found in their playground environment.

Grow
Creating a dedicated space for nature and plants will increase pupils’ knowledge of the world and help them to understand life cycles and the importance of a sustainable environment.
Our planters come in a variety of heights and sizes depending on their use and the age of pupils who are using the area. We have designed a number of planters to include trellis so pupils can train sweet peas or beans to grow upwards.
All our planters incorporate an edge for seating so the nature space can be used for both education and relaxation.

Mud, Sand & Water Play
Providing opportunities for children to get messy is an essential part of any early years playground environment.
By incorporating our range of sandpits, mud kitchens and water play you will create a space where children can build and collaborate as they explore together.
Encouraging the development of both fine and gross motor skills as they manipulate tools and move equipment.

Performance & Music
Offering a dedicated space for performance, music and art will enliven your playground and allow pupils to explore and express their creativity.
Encouraging these disciplines will help to promote pupils self-esteem and grow their confidence as they engage with and entertain fellow pupils through self-expression.
