School play offers benefits to children’s wellbeing and is essential for their social development. Previously children tended to rely on hopscotches, skipping ropes and ball games to break away from the classroom. Playground equipment in schools is no longer restricted to playtime. Playground equipment forms an integral part of the school day and incorporating it into the curriculum can be easy!
With four decades’ experience of providing playground equipment to schools and nurseries, we know the importance of designing equipment that promotes fun & fitness, builds strength as well as being safe and affordable. We understand the important role of outdoor play. It helps children in the development of vital skills, such as balance, coordination, confidence and social awareness.
