Early Years
If you are reading this, the chances are you are a nursery chain director/owner, children centre manager, or early years practitioner. You are running or managing an early years setting, and your priority is to provide a safe, exciting and challenging environment whilst retaining your focus on being a profit making business. You have many challenges and opportunities; OFSTED, EYFS, health and safety to name but a few.
Does this sound familiar?
Over twelve years experience of designing and installing outdoor play environments means we, at Playforce, can empathise with your challenges and we can work with you to identify what works specifically for you and your early years setting, whether you are a nursery owner, children’s centre manager, early years practitioner, head teacher, or business manager. Let me give you some examples: -
· your outdoor environment can be a really good way of engaging parents. A well designed space, with quality equipment is a real selling point. Both in terms of the prospectus, company brochure, or whilst on a tour, parents notice the quality of indoor and outdoor furniture and the heath and safety disciplines within the setting.
· the EYFS requires you to create a free flow environment for your children, allowing direct access to your outdoor space, for inside / outside self initiated play. You are assessed against this as part of your OFSTED inspection, so it is really beneficial to develop an outdoor space that adds value both for the children and commercially .
· you may well be applying for an early years grant to develop your grounds, and you want to provide a reliable, value for money and long lasting solution for the setting that children can enjoy for many years to come.
· you need spaces and outdoor learning environments that enable you to fulfil the six key areas of learning inside and outside.
Like the thousands of installations we have done to date, we know your setting is unique, so helping you make the most of your space and support your plans for the future proves rewarding for all concerned. By working at your pace and discussing your ideas, our phased design-led approach allows you to make informed decisions with the confidence you remain in control, while we will make it happen. Remember, this is a free of charge, no commitment design process; it only costs you a little of your time!

Indeed Hayley Mileham from Newberry Child Development Centre says” The new play area has proved a hit with children, parents and staff alike. The whole area is so much brighter and so much more fun for the children who attend our nursery and speech & language groups. All you can see are smiling faces! The area is also being used to promote exercise and aid balance. The service we received was second to none and we were guided through the process easily by all members of staff we encountered”.
