Transforming Outdoor Play at Somerset School, Cambian Group in Taunton

Somerset School, part of the Cambian Group in Taunton, has given its outdoor play area a brand new lease of life with the installation of a Mersey climbing frame, a quad swing set with four flat swing seats, and an engaging waterplay and mud kitchen area.

This new setup invites children to climb, swing, splash and create, turning the playground into a dynamic, hands-on learning space. Each element has been chosen to support physical development, coordination and social interaction, all while encouraging creativity and outdoor exploration in a safe, welcoming environment.

The image below shows the impressive before-and-after transformation of the playground at Somerset School, capturing how the space has been reimagined into an exciting area for play and discovery.

Customer Objectives

The school wanted to transform a plain field into an engaging and safe outdoor play space. The school chose a Mersey climbing frame, a quad swing with four flat swing seats, and interactive features including a waterplay area and a mud kitchen. These additions provide a dynamic environment where children can climb, swing, explore and develop their physical, social, and creative skills in a secure and inspiring setting.

Playground Development Challenges & Solutions

Transforming a plain field into a vibrant play area required careful planning to fit multiple bespoke elements while ensuring safety and accessibility. The layout was designed to make the most of climbing, swinging, and creative exploration, with grass mats providing a safe, cushioned surface. Each feature was strategically positioned to maximise play opportunities, encourage imaginative outdoor activity, and create a cohesive, engaging space for children to enjoy.
