Founded in 1983, we’ve become one of the UK’s leading names in playground design. We believe that a well-designed natural playground should offer more than play – it should support development, foster social interaction, and promote connection with nature. That’s why our SEN play spaces often include features like a sensory garden, creative seating areas, and quiet zones for reflection. Whether designing natural play areas or bespoke farm attractions, every project begins as a blank canvas, ready to become something exceptional. Our play equipment designers are trusted by:
Our team comprises skilled designers, builders, landscapers, artists, and sculptors specialising in play equipment. This diverse talent allows us to offer fully tailored SEN play environments that combine practicality with creative flair. Our Colchester installations frequently incorporate features such as climbing structures, tunnels, water play areas, and nature-inspired sculptures. We’re also committed to sustainability, using natural playground materials wherever possible and incorporating elements such as planting and a bug hotel to promote ecological awareness and conservation.
What sets us apart is our collaborative approach. We work closely with children, educators, and stakeholders to ensure each play area is both functional and inspiring. Children are at the heart of what we do – they guide us in designing spaces that truly meet their needs. Whether we're developing new natural play areas for bespoke farm attractions, we take pride in creating inclusive environments where every child can thrive.
