We love Messy Kitchens. They allow children to engage in pretend and messy play by cooking with mud, sand, and water. More importantly Messy Kitchens help children to develop fine motor skills, roleplay, exploration, and social skills. Mud kitchens are most beneficial for children ages 1-7.

National Trust Hatchlands

We have designed a challenging climbing structure for the Wix Woods play area at Hatchlands near Guildford. The natural shaped robinia timbers require far more decision taking to choose the route and the top platform can be reached in variety of ways.

Fremington Primary EYFS

The Head Teacher had a vision for a sinking ship which we brought to life within the constraints of the existing space.

Sand & Messy Kitchen

This School needed a solution for the patch of mud that linked the playground to the classrooms. Our solution was to design and install a Messy Kitchen and sand pit. The timber retained edges that provided all year round play for the EYFS children. The sand is 30cm deep for really good digability and is … Continue reading Sand & Messy Kitchen
