A Fresh EYFS Playground at Cribs Day Nursery, Newham, London

 

Cribs Day Nursery in Newham, London has enhanced its outdoor space with a vibrant new EYFS playground, designed to encourage curiosity, creativity and active play from the moment children step outside.

At the heart of the area is a bespoke one tower jigsaw unit, promoting climbing, balance and confidence. Alongside this, Baltic water play introduces valuable sensory experiences, supporting hands-on learning through exploration.

Imaginative play is brought to life with a shop front, while a timber sandbox with a sliding lid and a small mud kitchen provide opportunities for creative and collaborative play. Musical elements, including drums, a xylophone and batpipes, allow children to explore sound and rhythm. Chalkboard and whiteboard panels further support mark-making and early writing.

Finished with artificial grass for a safe, welcoming surface, this well-designed space creates an engaging outdoor environment where children can develop physically, socially and creatively every day. This Image Shows The Before And After Of The Crib Day Nursery Playground Area In London

Transforming Outdoor Play at Birstall Primary Academy, Kirklees, West Yorkshire

Birstall Primary Academy in Kirklees, West Yorkshire has reimagined its outdoor space with the installation of a vibrant new EYFS playground, designed to spark curiosity, movement and imagination from the very first step outside.

The space is brought to life with a combination of bespoke and standard playground markings, turning the ground itself into an interactive canvas. From playful pathways to imaginative zones, these markings encourage children to engage, invent games and learn through movement.

Customer Objectives

The Academy set out to transform a simple outdoor area into a vibrant and engaging EYFS play environment. The vision centred on creating a space where children could explore freely while developing key physical, social and creative skills.

To bring this to life, the school introduced a jungle climber trekker and an adventure trail 6 U-shaped layout, forming an exciting pathway of movement and discovery. Bespoke and standard playground markings were also incorporated, turning the playground surface into an interactive learning landscape that encourages imaginative play and active engagement.

Together, these elements create a dynamic setting where children can climb, balance, navigate and invent their own games, all within a safe and inspiring environment.

Playground Development Challenges & Solutions

Transforming the space into a cohesive and stimulating play area required thoughtful planning and design. The challenge lay in integrating multiple play features while maintaining clear flow, safety and accessibility for younger users.

The solution was a carefully considered layout that allows each element to shine while working together as part of a unified play experience. The jungle climber trekker and adventure trail were positioned to promote movement and progression, while the  playground markings were designed to complement and enhance play value across the space.

The result is a well-balanced playground that maximises opportunities for physical activity, encourages imaginative exploration and provides a safe, engaging environment for every child.
