Inclusive Play
Children enjoy being outside, interacting with their environment whilst learning and developing from nature. Inclusive play areas make these opportunities available to all children, regardless of ability.
Special Schools and Special Educational Needs (SEN)
“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..”
