WHAT WE DO


KOOLPLAY offer many Services which can be tailored to suit your requirements.


We have a broad understanding of the EYFS in nurseries and the curriculum requirements in Key Stage 1 & 2 at schools. We work closely with Early Years settings and Primary Schools to provide outdoor play provision to meet a range of developmental needs. 

We often  work with Staff, PTA Members and School Councils with a step by step approach to ensure the right equipment is selected.

Choosing the right product along with a well thought out executed design is key to enthusing the children, so that through play they can develop their fundamental motor skills, become increasingly competent and confident whilst enhancing their fitness as well as their social well-being.

 

A full design service including the supply of both 2D and 3D drawings in CAD or PDF is available dependent on your requirements.

There are opportunities for the children to become involved in the development of the Play Area as a School Project and become engaged in a ‘Bob the Builder’ type task during installation
