Intake Pre-School needed to retire their existing, well-used castle climbing frame. The challenge was multifaceted:
The requirement was clear: replace the old with a dynamic, physical play asset that would instantly capture imagination and boost core developmental skills.
We delivered a full-service solution, designing a multi-sensory, tiered climbing tower built specifically to maximise skill development in a compact footprint, capped with a high-quality, all-weather surface.
| Feature | Design Rationale & Developmental Benefit |
| Bespoke Climbing Tower with 1.2m HDPE Steel Slide | Cantered the entire design around the beloved slide, ensuring a smooth, durable, and fast return-to-play element, perfect for building confidence. |
| Grass Play Tunnel | Integrated a novel element into the tower structure, encouraging crawling, spatial awareness, and imaginative hidden-den play. |
| Climbing Wall with Support Rope | The primary physical challenge. The support rope allows children to gauge their own risk, developing upper body strength, grip, and coordination in a controlled manner. |
| Timber Multicoloured Perspex Roof | A creative touch that casts coloured light onto the play deck, enriching the sensory experience and inspiring imaginative role-play (e.g., a lighthouse, a control tower). |
| 30mm Artificial Grass Surfacing & Geo-textile Membrane | Removed all concerns about mud and uneven surfaces, providing a clean, safe, and durable all-weather play zone that dramatically increases outdoor play utility. |
| Picnic Benches | Added practical outdoor furniture, promoting social skills, quiet conversation, and structured outdoor learning sessions. |
The most compelling proof of success came directly from the school’s social media, showcasing the immediate, tangible benefits of the new play space and confirming that every part of the brief was exceeded.
Direct from Intake Pre-School’s Facebook:
“Exciting News! Our outdoor area just got even better! Say hello to our brand-new climbing frame with slide — a fun and adventurous space where children can climb, explore, and learn through play. This new addition encourages little ones to:
We can’t wait to see all the smiles and laughter as the children make new memories on our climbing frame!”
This project demonstrates our capacity to deliver targeted, bespoke solutions that honour cherished play elements while simultaneously upgrading the physical and sensory play value. By installing the Adventure Tower alongside all-weather artificial grass, Intake Pre-School successfully converted their outdoor space into a premium, year-round learning environment.
