As nursery play area specialists we offer various playground services such as creating designs, installing safety surfaces and maintenance of existing play areas. Our experienced staff can help each individual client to create a bespoke design for their recreational surfacing which provides added safety qualities to protect the children from injuries. The specification and designs of impact absorbing nursery play surfaces will vary depending on how the area will be used and the appearance the client wants.
Benefits of Playgrounds for Nurseries
Having an interactive playground at a nursery offers many benefits for children’s fitness and development. Here are a few of the top advantages:
- Outdoor equipment helps boost fitness and activity
- Children learn communication skills and how to work together
- Educational games can be incorporated into the playground activities
- Helps improve concentration in lessons as kids are more engaged
These are just a few of the reasons why many nurseries, kindergartens and playschools have outdoor equipment and for Early Years pupils to enjoy. These child-friendly garden surfaces can be installed in a range of sizes and shapes.
The most popular safety flooring used in nurseries within the UK is wetpour rubber flooring which can come in bright colours with unique graphic designs such as cartoons and animals which engage children’s minds to encourage learning and early development. Other impacts absorbing flooring types that can be used in play areas for younger children include bonded rubber mulch and rubber grass mats, each of which gives the area a more natural-looking appearance.
The Best Surfaces for Nursery Play Areas
There are a number of surfaces that are ideal for nurseries. Since young children will be playing in the area, a soft, safe nursery play area surfacing is recommended – especially if you have play equipment within the area. There are plenty of child-friendly garden surfaces you can choose from. These are the specifications we often install:
- Wetpour – Rubber play flooring with a shockpad layer to absorb impact from trips and falls.
- Rubber Mulch – A natural-looking surface that can be laid onto existing grass or mud.
- Synthetic Grass – Provides a realistic garden surface that can have a shockpad for added safety.
In the event you have play equipment at your nursery, you will need to think about having safety surfaces. We can alter the depth of these surfaces to meet specific Critical Fall Heights. This helps to ensure the children’s safety.
We recommend that you carry out routine inspections to ensure the play area is safe for use. If you find any damages on the surface, it is important to fix them straight away in order to prevent costly repairs. Repairing the surface quickly means that you can also avoid children hurting themselves. Otherwise, they could fall over due to tripping on rips on the surface.
EYFS Nursery Play Surfacing Specialists
We are a professional company with experience in designing and installing surfaces for recreational facilities, but our nursery play surfacing specialists can also offer advice and services for maintenance and repairs to the existing flooring. This could include fixing small areas of damage within a wetpour surface or repairing shrinkage where the rubber has pulled away from the edging. If the flooring only has a small area of damage, we may supply a wetpour repair kit which enables you to fix the problem yourself by cutting out the localised surfacing with the problem and filling it in with a new application of rubber.
In order to prevent damage and problems with Early Years playground surfacing, it’s important to carry out regular proactive nursery play area maintenance from specialists. This is to ensure that the flooring stays clean and does not become hazardous for the children who use it. This sort of maintenance can include frequently brushing the surface. We do this to get rid of potential contaminants like litter and natural matter. You could also apply gentle jet wash the lift off any dirt which may be on the surface.
