Did you know that outdoor play is incredibly beneficial for young children? So much so that many child development professionals say that schools and nurseries should offer at least 45 minutes of outside play every day?

Here at Rhino Play, we believe that all children have the right to a fun and safe outdoor playground, where they can express their feelings and develop their skills. We are proud to offer schools and nurseries across the UK, a wide range of bespoke playground equipment for their school playgrounds. Read on to find out more about installing brand new, bespoke playground equipment in your outside area.

Why Choose Bespoke Playground Equipment For Schools & Nurseries?

At Rhino Play, we have a wide range of outdoor playground equipment including, trim trails, adventure climbers and climbing frames, towers and slides, which can all be tailored to your individual needs and requirements. Schools and nurseries often have specific spacing constraints and need to fit their playground equipment to certain specifications. At Rhino Play, we can create play equipment to fit all and any specifications.

We recently created a fantastic, custom-made boat, ships and nautical-themed play unit for a local Plymouth primary school. Shipwrecked in Plymouth, Widewell Primary had specific themes, requirements and space constraints that the team at Rhino Play had to bear in mind when designing and installing the bespoke playground for both KS1 and KS2 pupils to enjoy.

When you opt to create your own play unit for your school or nursery, you can guarantee that you, your board of governors and your pupils will enjoy the equipment commissioned. All our playground units are made using the highest-quality materials to BS EN 1176/77 standards, with a ten-year guarantee, so you can relax knowing the equipment will be safe to enjoy for many years to come.

As well as our design and planning service, on all our playground installations, we offer regular inspection and maintenance services either quarterly or annually, to help ensure your playground equipment is properly maintained and looked after.

Benefits Of School & Nursery Playgrounds

It’s no secret that outside play has a wide range of benefits for children (and adults) of all ages. Which is why we work hard to design a wide range of playground equipment for schools, nurseries and early year foundation stages. Outdoor play has a wide range of benefits including:

Increases self-confidence and self-esteem – especially when children succeed in completing a challenging part of a climbing frame.
Improve spatial awareness – tunnels, gaps, turrets and bridges are included in lots of our playground equipment designs and children quickly learn how much space they take up in the confined areas.
Helps with gross motor skills – climbing or hanging on outdoor play equipment helps to strengthen children’s muscles and limbs.
Improves coordination – playing, swinging, jumping and running with other children can help improve children’s hand-eye coordination.
Increases balance and agility – playing outside allows children to test their balance and agility and improve it over time
Problem-solving skills – activities such as playing on traverse and climbing walls, help children increase their problem-solving skills, learning and figuring out the movements to complete the wall is a skill which they can carry with them throughout their lives.
Help with social skills – children can help to encourage each other on the equipment by communicating instructions and encouragement effectively.
Increase physical fitness and attributes such as upper body strength, lower body strength and cardiovascular endurance.
