The Playground Equipment Experts

Every piece of outdoor playground equipment that we construct is fully tested to the appropriate British and European safety standards. Our playgrounds are designed with the latest health and safety protocols in mind to ensure any playground equipment we install is safe and fun for your children to enjoy.

We believe that as outdoor playground experts, operating for over 30 years, it’s our obligation to share as much of our knowledge with you as possible. We hand hold as much as you require, on each step of the planning, design and installation process. We aim to give you everything you need to both understand what’s achievable, as well as how to maximise both your budget and playground space.

We have a wide range of playground equipment available and can design a playground that incorporates play equipment that compliments each other to build an engaging and fun experience for your children. We have playground equipment both large and small and flexible enough to suit most budgets and playground areas.

There is no set amount of playground equipment to include in your playground. The best approach is to understand your budget and the area you have to work with. By first understanding this , you can then start to plan and design a playground that may include equipment such as swings, climbing frames & climbing equipment, spinners and / or sensory play equipmentor any playground equipment that meets the needs of your children. Different playground equipment can be utilised to encourage and improve skills such as improved coordination, strength, flexibility, critical thinking and problem solving amongst other benefits, as well as being amazing fun of course.

Playground equipment plays a vital role in supporting children’s physical, cognitive, and social wellbeing. Active play helps build balance, coordination, strength, and overall fitness, while features such as obstacle trails encourage problem-solving. 

Outdoor play also nurtures creativity and the imagination, giving children the freedom and confidence to invent games and express themselves in ways which influence their learning and growth. Just as importantly, playgrounds promote social interaction where children can gain valuable skills in teamwork, cooperation, turn-taking, and communication, which will help them thrive throughout their lives. 

In fact, a study conducted by the National Trust found that outdoor play helped lead to better physical health, improved mental resilience and enhanced environmental awareness in children.

The best surface for your playground depends on the type of equipment, the fall height, and the overall design and available space of the play area. 

Popular safety surfacing options include rubber mulch, as these surfaces are known for excellent shock absorption, good drainage, and minimal maintenance, making them ideal for high-activity areas and equipment with greater fall heights. 

We offer a wide range of playground surfaces, and our team of designers can help you to find the right option for your space.

Playground equipment must adhere to safety standards such as EN 1176 and EN 1177, which cover equipment and surfacing. These standards address fall heights, impact attenuation, entrapment hazards, and material safety. RPII-certified inspections are crucial to ensure ongoing compliance and maintain a safe play environment, and regular maintenance is essential for the prevention of accidents.

The cost of installing playground equipment can vary widely depending on the size of the project, the type of equipment chosen, and any other bespoke design considerations. 

Smaller projects may start from a few thousand pounds, while larger, fully designed playgrounds with multiple structures and impact-absorbing surfaces can start from £10,000.

It’s important to remember that every project differs, so to receive an accurate cost it’s a good idea to contact us for a quote.

Inclusive playground equipment is designed to ensure that children of all abilities can play, interact, and explore together. Examples include wheelchair-accessible roundabouts and swings, and sensory equipment, such as musical panels or tactile elements to encourage multi-sensory engagement. 

Inclusive surfacing also plays an important role by providing smooth, even access across the playground for wheelchairs, mobility aids, and buggies. Together, these features help create play spaces where every child can find enjoyment in participation and learning.

Our team of experts will deliver and install your playground, and, as part of our commitment to ongoing customer care, we also offer an inspection and maintenance service for all playground items purchased from us.
