We’re delighted to launch our brand-new 2025 catalogue, created especially for schools and nurseries. Packed with ideas and practical guidance, it’s designed to inspire anyone looking to develop outdoor spaces that enrich learning and play.
From Early Years Foundation Stage through to Key Stage 2 and beyond, the opening pages are full of creative ideas that reflect the different ways children learn and grow through play at each stage of their education.
Inside, you’ll find advice on designing environments that are accessible and inclusive, ensuring every child has the chance to participate, engage, and benefit from outdoor play and learning.
We understand the challenges schools face with budgets and resources. That’s why the catalogue also includes helpful funding guidance, practical tips from teachers, and details of flexible payment plans to make projects more achievable.
This catalogue has been designed as a resource – one that sparks ideas, shares valuable information, and demonstrates how outdoor play can enrich children’s lives while supporting wider educational goals.
The 2025 catalogue is available in both printed and digital formats – request your copy here. We hope it inspires your next outdoor learning project and supports you in creating spaces where children can truly thrive.
