Playcubed offers inclusive play design that can bring the benefits of play during recreational time for children in Special Schools. Our bespoke approach to playground design allows us to create play areas where children with special educational needs can develop their creativity alongside their peers.

It’s without a doubt the lessons that SEN students absorb from outdoor learning form an essential role in their development. An inclusive play design can help aid this progression by offering children with special needs to explore and experience nature in a safe environment.

Here at Playcubed, we understand the importance of inclusive play design in educational playgrounds and commercial outdoor areas. We work closely with our clients, from initial design to adding the finishing touches, to ensure we bring their complete vision to life.

We can help you create an inclusive play area in your school or building development, where children can learn and play. Call our team today or email us on sales@playcubbed.co.uk.

“From the planning stage Playcubed listened to our needs and provided us with everything we needed to create a playground which not only looks great but also provides our pupils with a variety of experiences they would not have been able to access. As a result the pupils have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know all the new areas of the playground..”

Inclusive Play Parks

As a Special School, you should never underestimate the value of outdoor learning and inclusive play parks.  In fact, the opportunities they bring make a huge contribution to a child’s development. Inclusive play parks can help pupils with special educational needs learn valuable life-skills and socialise better with their peers.
Playcubed have worked with many Special Schools to create some amazing outdoor environments. What’s more we pride ourselves on creating outstanding spaces that offer a wealth of activities. These activities support the development of children, ensuring every feature is accessible to users of all abilities.
Most important of all, we work together with you to ensure that our designs include everything possible to help your students achieve all their key learning objectives.

So, what should a good outdoor learning and play area provide?

Outdoor learning and play areas in special schools are most important. SEN students undoubtedly benefit immensely from the visual impact alongside the sensory stimulation they experience.
 
In effect, they allow children to engage, explore, discover and also react in ways a classroom can’t achieve. To put it another way, they make playtime a constructive part of their learning program every day.
