Our Work 

South Harringay School Nursery in North London is one of our proudest projects to date. 

Undergoing a complete transformation of its EYFS outdoor learning environment, the busy nursery space saw more than 20 new play features installed. 

South Harringay School Nursery needed an area for play-based learning that could withstand daily use. We assessed the existing playground and site layout, and worked with the nursery to install a range of features to support these aims.

FAQs

How to ensure safety in EYFS playgrounds?

With a skilled and dedicated team, Creative Play’s accreditations include CHAS, API, RoSPA and further affiliates. We put safety above all else, and are fully compliant with BS EN 1176 regulations.

Our equipment comes with a two-year guarantee for your peace of mind.

We also recommend regular inspections of playground equipment to identify any signs of wear and tear, and ensure continued compliance with safety standards.

We also advocate for proper equipment usage – our team can advise on how best to use equipment, and how to monitor children’s use.

What are the benefits of EYFS playground equipment in nurseries

Physical activities like climbing and balancing build muscle strength, bone density, and cardiovascular health in children.

These promote an active lifestyle at an early age, teaching gross motor skills and nurturing physical development.

But our early years equipment also supports cognitive development, encouraging imagination and creativity, and giving them the opportunity to explore new scenarios and senses. By promoting curiosity, it gives children the chance to learn how to articulate these experiences.

Does Creative Play install nursery playground equipment?

Yes! Our team will manage your playground project from start to finish. From the initial design stages through to installation and aftercare, we work with you in all areas, and bring our expertise to keep your equipment safe and in excellent condition.

Can private day nurseries qualify for government funding?

If you want to renovate your outdoor space but don’t have the funds, your nursery may be eligible for government funding.
