Nursery playground development supports early years childhood development by encouraging physical activity, building motor skills and coordination.
It also fosters social interaction, helping children learn to share, take turns, and cooperate.
These are development goals shared by EYFS, and will help children prepare for primary school.
All of our playground equipment is independently tested and certified to the European Standard EN 1176. This gives our customers the confidence of knowing that any play area manufactured by Playdale really does meet the European Standard.
The Early Years and Key Stage 1 children at St Mary’s RC Primary School in Ulverston had a large tarmac play area to let off steam in but not really any equipment. Class 1 teacher Lena Parker told us that their little ones very much loved to climb and like all children in this stage also enjoy any role play opportunities. So we looked at and discussed a few ranges and equipment types that we thought would fit the bill and suit the age range (approximately 4-7).
Rigby Hall School is an all age special school taking pupils between the ages of four and nineteen, with moderate or severe learning difficulties. They arranged to meet their local Playdale Area Manager for a free, no-obligation design and consultancy meeting. The school was impressed from the outset with the discussions and subsequent design proposals presented back. Headteacher Tracey Smith said they were “Beyond our expectations.”
“Playdale’s Area Manager Becky Warren listened to the features we wanted to put into the playground and came up with a design which included everything, she was on call and responded quickly to any concerns or queries. The overall product is perfectly designed for the needs of our children.” Fiona Taylor, EYFS Teacher, Ganton School.
Early years playground equipment is perfectly proportioned for young children. It allows small children to participate in the same activities as their older friends.
Children develop holistically, and recent research shows that a child’s physical education in the early years is just as important for success later in life as their intellectual development.
Playgrounds give children the opportunity to challenge themselves in safety. This helps to increase their confidence and build up their self-esteem.
A toddler’s world is one of great exploration and learning, everything they do is an adventure and a challenge, whether it is working out how to use a simple piece of play equipment or putting a spoon into their mouths.
Nursery age children are typically between the ages of 1 to 3 and they require age appropriate playground equipment that provides stimulation and opportunities to develop physical and mental skills. Playground equipment provides early years children with many opportunities to socially interact with their peers, and playing together teaches children to cooperate and communicate. Physical activity is essential to development in young children and playgrounds gives them the opportunity to grow strong and healthy. Playing outside also builds an appreciation for the outdoors and the environment around them. They develop observation skills and curiosity of the natural world.
