We are absolutely delighted with the Outdoor Classroom, it looks amazing.  The children can’t wait to make good use of it. 

Please could you pass our thanks on to the installation team, they were very considerate, flexible, clean and tidy on site, which was much appreciated.

Thanks again, you have done a brilliant job.

Christ The King Catholic Primary School

We are absolutely thrilled with the new play equipment which was installed over the Easter holidays.

The equipment includes lots of different sections, and the ground area around the equipment has been levelled out and resurfaced, making it a much more usable space. 

Thank you.
