Special Educational Needs (SEN) Playgrounds
Create inclusive outdoor spaces with sensory play equipment designed to support every child’s development, wellbeing and independence.
All children require good quality outdoor play in order to develop. The educational merits of play are well documented, with sensory play often cited as being of particular benefit to children with special educational needs. Creative Play provides inclusive outdoor play equipment for children with SEND, combining sensory-rich design with adaptable features to suit a wide range of needs.
Play For All: Creative Play’s Inclusive Range
Creative Play’s inclusive outdoor play equipment supports children with SEND through accessible, sensory-rich play.
The Play For All range was created to meet a wide variety of needs, with options to adapt or tailor equipment, from wheelchair-accessible features through to fully bespoke designs.
Developed in collaboration with SEN specialists at Prospect House School, the range is shaped by real-world insight from children, caregivers and educators.
It brings together physical, sensory, social and imaginative play opportunities in ways that help remove barriers and encourage meaningful participation.
Every design is focused on creating inclusive environments where children can build confidence, develop key skills and feel fully included.
With extensive experience in designing and supplying EYFS playground solutions, our specialists create innovative, high-quality equipment that enhances learning opportunities and encourages meaningful play experiences.

Creating 'Adventure Play' & 'Inclusive Playgrounds' At Prospect House
Our inclusive range was born from our partnership with Prospect House, transforming an underused outdoor space into not one, but two outdoor play areas.
One for adventure play, and the other an inclusive playground designed to support emotional regulation, wheelchair accessibility and purposeful play for children with additional needs.
Shaped by real-world observation and consultation, the range is designed to provide accessible, meaningful play experiences for children of all abilities.
