Designing For Schools, Pre-Schools And Nurseries

A well planned outdoor space can make a major difference to a child’s enjoyment of school and pre-school.  Not only can a garden be enjoyed for its beauty but it also has huge potential as a teaching aid and a place to stimulate and educate children.

I work with schools, pre-schools and nurseries to find out how we can make the most out of their outdoor environment – however small or large it may be – to create unique spaces that suit their individual needs.

Features have included:

• Growing spaces
• Mazes and labyrinths
• Role play areas
• Water and messy play spaces
• Hides and dens
• Wildlife/nature areas
• Small world play
• Climbing/traversing features
• Storytelling/quiet spaces
