Here's a fabulous new climbing area we recently installed at Broughton C of E Primary, Broughton-in-Furness 📍

We linked some trim trail items with our Tangled Huntsman unit

All suitable for both KS1 and KS2 adventurers who love to climb 🧗

Unstructured play is more than just fun, it’s essential for early childhood development!

At ESP Play, we explore how self-directed play supports physical, cognitive, and emotional growth in the EYFS. 💪🧠

Sensory gardens are becoming increasingly popular 🌲🐦🌸

They give children a quieter place to go, a little sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of the playground 📖

A place to be calm, sit, think and reflect 🧘‍♀️

Here's one we recently installed in Liverpool 📍

Another North West project to share...

St John Fisher RC Primary, Manchester 📍 wanted a new Forest School area with a focus on planting, an area to seat up to 30 children and a surface so the area can be accessed and utilised all year round!

MUGAs are a great for PE and interschool games they also keep breaktime football contained ✅
Football can dominate a playground, this way, the children who want to play have their own designated space & the children that don't want to play don't have to dodge the flying balls😰

[Shona Holly @ESPPlayNW]

Extremely proud to share more photo's from the fantastic new Early Years area @BenchillSchool

All seven areas of learning covered ✅

Well done to everyone involved, a huge project completed in just weeks and right before the Christmas shutdown too 👏

@SRooney87 You are very welcome, thank you for the opportunity and for trusting us with your project, by far my favourite to date!

[Shona Holly @ESPPlayNW]

Honoured to attend the grand opening of the new EYFS area at @BenchillSchool yesterday
Headteacher, Steve Rooney, understands the importance of Early Years & has invested a huge amount of money to prove it!
I know where I would be sending my child if I was a prospective parent ❤️

[Shona Holly @ESPPlayNW]

Another happy customer 🥰

I received this lovely feedback from Graeme, Headteacher at Forest Preparatory School, Altrincham 📍 when checking back in with him at the end of our first project at the school

I went back this week to survey another area they are looking to develop

[Shona Holly @ESPPlayNW]

A sensational sensory garden project @PrimaryBradley

Definitely my new favourite project to date!

What do you think? 🌳🍃🪱

They now have a wonderful new green space within the school grounds instead of a grey tarmac space!

[Shona Holly @ESPPlayNW]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Another 5 ⭐ review!!!

A huge thanks to Sharon, Headteacher @PrimaryBradley Nelson 📍 for leaving this wonderful feedback following the completion of their new Sensory Garden 🌳🍃🪱
Photo's to follow so keep your eyes peeled 👀👀👀

Before and After photo's from a local project at St Augustine of Canterbury RC Primary, Burnley 📍

The difference surfacing can make is huge 🤯

Especially when you go from the maintenance nightmare that is bark, that constantly needs sweeping and topping up!

The school ❤️ it

[Shona Holly @ESPPlayNW]

@thomassonschool developed their outdoor space, completed in May 2023

Fast forward to November 2024, the school has moved to a new site so we successfully removed and relocated the equipment for them ���

Having worked with @ribbweb on their Early Years area, I had the privilege to work with them again on their KS1 Playground, completed over summer last year & ready for the children returning in September

I think it looks fantastic, do you agree?
