Innovative solutions for outdoor learning & natural play
For early years settings that offer the freedom to play, learn and interact with the natural world all year round, look no further. We design and build these essential outdoor gardens and can advise on a range of solutions that will inspire exercise, natural learning and spontaneous play in an easy to supervise setting.

The most effective environment for early years children is one that is manipulative, where children can adapt the world around them. Loose parts equipment is key – planks, crates, sand, water and other items that can be touched, held, moved, opened and carried. It’s also a great idea to build upper body strength too, with gross motor skills leading to refined precision and coordination.
