The forest school programme is now firmly entrenched and practised in many schools in the UK – both in urban and town/city settings and allows participating children to benefit from real-life outdoor experiences in a woodland or natural environment. And we have found from our merry travels visiting schools up and down the country that […]
We launched a couple of years an idea for an outdoor classroom “pod”. Pod being defined as a unit which is a bit more distinctive and unique in design than your run-of-the-mill outdoor classroom and which typically is a pre-manufactured unit (as opposed to the traditional build on site building). The idea for our pod […]
We have just completed a brand new children’s playground which features playground play equipment manufactured entirely out of recycled plastic as opposed to the traditionally used timber. The customer wanted to use this material because they totally understood and appreciated its benefits – in that recycled plastic lasts a lot longer than traditional timber, doesn’t rot or corrode, is hard to […]
We are currently looking to talk with schools who might be interested in our “Ambassador” customer referral programme. Before committing to a final decision, we understand and appreciate that some schools like to see our products “in the flesh” as it were before purchasing so if your school were prepared to allow other schools/interested parties to […]
We frequently get asked about certain information relating to our outdoor classrooms so we thought that we would provide answers to the most common ones below: What size do I need? The answer to this is usually driven by three mitigating factors – how many children are you wanting to accommodate in the building; will […]
Such has been the success of our playground trim trail equipment manufactured out of recycled plastic, we have now extended out the range to make other products out of this special material. We have especially focused on those products which are most likely to be exposed to damaging elements or materials daily through the sheer application […]
Last year Castle Primary School in Northampton ordered one of our outdoor classroom pods to be used as an outdoor learning/library hub. The unique pod – with its distinctive features of a green round Hobbit style circular door and arched roof – was an immediate success with both teachers and children alike. So much so […]
Our outdoor classroom pods are becoming increasingly popular in schools who are using them for a whole variety or reasons – outdoor classroom, forest school shelter, library, nurture room and even as an office! They are pre-manufactured units which come delivered off the back of a truck and are then either lifted into position with […]
Play equipment in schools has traditionally been made out of timber (in public play parks steel is more common due to vandalism issues) and for good reasons. It is attractive and easy to work with but it can’t withstand the rain and the cold for too long. Time consuming on-going maintenance does certainly help but […]
We have a lot of enquiries from schools who run forest school programmes and who are looking to provide for some kind of shelter for the children but usually it is a request to cover an existing fire pit area. The schools want to have the facility of being able to light fires outdoors but […]
