A space designed to learn, move, explore — and have fun.

Working alongside the team at Chilwell Primary School, we were proud to bring their vision for an imaginative, nature-rich outdoor space to life.

Spanning over three months, this project was a full transformation of the school’s outdoor environment, blending playful elements with practical, durable construction to create something truly special for the students, staff, and community.


What we delivered:

  • Full landscape and structure demolition
  • Exposed aggregate paving & gravel paving zones
  • A creative hand-placed pebble jump path using a mix of concrete and stone pavers
  • Steel and brick edging for clean, safe transitions
  • Bluestone steppers to encourage movement and exploration
  • A mix of custom furniture, planters, and timber stools
  • Installation of interactive playground pieces
  • Timber shelters and a central timber stage
  • A hand-crafted mud kitchen (yes, we made it ourselves!)
  • Plenty of soft-fall mulch, new lawn, and feature planting
  • …and of course, the water feature — a standout element that’s keeping the kids cool and endlessly entertained!

It’s more than a play space

This project is a great example of how a well designed outdoor environment can bring joy, support learning, and invite curiosity. With shaded areas for reflection, creative play zones, and elements of nature woven throughout, it’s a space that encourages both rest and imagination.

Big thanks again to everyone who helped bring this together, especially our incredible on-site team and trusted partners.
