If you are looking for the trusted partner in Educational Play capable of giving you clear and succinct advice on a solution to your outdoor play space requirements, you are on the right site. . We believe you need to get the relevant information about Key Stage 1 grounds development quickly and from a credible source, as you have many pulls on your time, so you want to talk with someone, at no cost, who understands your challenges and desired outcomes, because time is precious and the children are your priority.

Does this sound familiar?

Over twelve years experience of designing and installing outdoor play environments means we, at Playforce, can empathise with these challenges and we can work with you to identify what works specifically for you and your school, whether you are head teacher, business manager, governor, teacher or member of the PTA -  Let me give you some examples: -

* Key Stage 1 builds upon the principles laid down in EYFS. Many schools are now adopting the best practice that they started in nursery and reception, and wanting to incorporate outdoor learning and free flow across the whole of Key Stage 1.

* You need a well designed space for Key Stage 1 to enable you to use the outdoor environment creatively to teach subjects. You want your children to learn in a cross curricular way, with the school grounds providing a canvas for the social, emotional aspects of learning (SEAL).

* You want to teach PE, citizenship and numeracy outside, plus re-enact stories, explore science and learn about life cycles in the natural environment.

* You are working towards your Eco Schools and Healthy Schools Awards, and want advice about how best to involve all stakeholders in your schools transformation process.

We know each 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 other key groups, including your children and parents) with the confidence that you remain in control whilst we make it happen. Remember, this process is free of charge; it only costs you a small amount of your time!

Following completion of the development of their playspace, Jane Heath at Bushey Leaze Early Years Centre said that “Our landscaped play environment is highly stimulating and challenging. We are able to watch the children and observe how they are playing and learning new skills. Our staff can then discuss how best to personalise a child’s academic development to successfully achieve the six statutory early learning goals.”
