What is junior playground equipment?

Junior playground equipment is equipment for play areas specifically designed to cater to the needs of children aged five to 12, offering an appropriate level of excitement, challenge and educational play.

Built to the highest level of product design safety for young children, outdoor playground equipment for junior schools can be themed to provide an extra layer of excitement.

Benefits of outdoor playground equipment for junior schools?

Junior-aged children benefit from primary school playground equipment in a number of ways, including emotional, physical and mental development:

Development of fine motor skills, including articulation and balance from activities such as climbing.

Improved communication through cooperative play, as can be seen in equipment such as the Timber Team Swing and Timber Seesaw.

Improved stamina and fitness through physical exercise.

Developing an understanding of limits and safe risk-taking. This is noticeable in our range of climbing frames, a safe way to build confidence amongst young children.

Developing an understanding of inclusivity amongst children of different social and physical capabilities. By learning to play without barriers, children can learn and grow through the use of the Sign Language Panel, Inclusive Orbit roundabout, Communication Board Panel and others.

An outlet for stress reduction, giving children a safe and healthy way to expel built-up stress.

…and more!

There’s no end to the educational, physical and emotional benefits of junior play.

Playground funding is available for junior playgrounds through several revolving funding pots – these pots usually contain a value of £1,000 to £5,000, though larger grants of up to £50,000 can be awarded depending on the bid and scale of the project.
