For children, one of the best ways to grow and develop their range of physical abilities is through outdoor play. All of Creative Play’s dynamic playground equipment has been designed to encourage children to learn as they are having fun. Engaging in regular outdoor play has been shown to stretch children’s cognitive functioning, especially during their early years when children are discovering much of the world around them. Numerous teachers and early learning specialists have praised our outdoor play equipment options and used our playground equipment as effective educational aids in schools, nurseries and other children’s facilities.

In particular, our playground equipment has allowed children with a number of different special educational needs to successfully enjoy an alternative method of learning. Children who previously struggled academically have gained confidence both inside and out of the classroom. By engaging in regular outdoor play, children are inspired to face new challenges on a daily basis and find that their problem-solving skills are greatly improved. As well as contributing to an increased attention span and sharper memory, outdoor play equipment can also help to boost children’s language acquisition as they are prompted to broaden their descriptive vocabularies.

One great thing about our equipment is that children have so much fun using it that they don’t even realise they’re learning! Creative Play are also keen to encourage children and their families to adopt a more active lifestyle. Children and young people are now spending a lot less time outdoors than in previous generations, as their leisure time is increasingly filled by mobile phones, video games and television. Over the past two decades, this has taken a noticeable effect on the health and mental wellbeing of many young people; a problem which many schools are not doing enough to address.

Here at Creative Play, we want to help children to rediscover the joy of playing outdoors. Our outdoor play equipment provides a much-needed outlet for children’s boundless energy and also offers some valuable physical benefits with regular use. By engaging in active play as often as possible, children can keep fit and make use of all of their senses as they develop their motor skills and agility. There really is no end to the range of lessons children can have fun learning with the right children’s outdoor playground equipment to make use of. We’d be more than happy to talk to you about finding the right fit for your setting.

Our playground equipment has also been designed to offer children a number of lifelong social skills. By taking part in outdoor play with their friends, children will learn the value of working together as a team. Through our outdoor play equipment UK range, they’ll be prompted to devise solutions in order to overcome challenges, which provide a chance for every member of the group to speak up.

Traditional pieces of playground equipment such as swings are a great example of co-operation; even young children can learn about the value of sharing as they take turns with their friends. Items such as sand and water units will provide the children at your facility with unique sensory experiences. You can sit back and allow them to play independently, knowing that they are in safe and capable hands.
