Start your Playground Transformation!

Book in a preliminary chat with our trusted play team here or fill out our form and we'll be touch. From there, we can often arrange a site visit within a week! Simple.

During our call, we’ll dive into all your requirements and educational needs to get a crystal-clear picture of your goals for the new area.

When we pop by, we'll measure and snap some photos of the playground. This way, we can whip up a detailed proposal with plans and product info just for you.

Our most complex learners are now better able to engage with an increasing range of outdoor learning opportunities.  

Outdoor spaces are vital to help those who experience multi-sensory processing difficulties develop their senses and gain and understanding of their place in the world. 

The garden will not only enable a more holistic learning experience but will support overall health and wellbeing.

Treloar School

Hampshire

The dbdplay team have been absolutely fantastic in helping us envision, plan and develop our fantastic new garden!

The children (and adults) have had so much fun exploring the bug hotel, performing on stage and getting tangled in the spider web!

Our garden is now truly an all year-round place to learn, explore & play. Thank you so much.

Little Willows Day Nursery

Bath

The children now love rolling down the hill.

It’s completely transformed the space.

We have had no flooding problems since the grass has been installed, even with the big storm.
