At The Playground Company, we believe that the best learning happens when children are immersed in the natural world - exploring, discovering, building in the great outdoors. Thatās why weāre passionate about supporting forest schools with outdoor play solutions that spark curiosity and creativity while nurturing a deep connection with nature.
Whether you're just establishing your forest school site or looking to expand your existing outdoor learning area, we offer a wide range of expertly crafted, nature-inspired equipment to help you build a space where children thrive.

š Den Building - Fuelling Imagination and Problem Solving
Few activities are as exciting for children as building their own hideaway in the woods. Our den building productsĀ are designed to support open-ended play and hands-on learning. From log stacks and rope kits to modular frames, we provide everything children need to create, experiment, and collaborate. Den building supports key forest school principles ā promoting independence, resilience, and teamwork.

š Fire Pit Gazebos ā The Heart of Your Outdoor Classroom
Nothing brings people together quite like a fire pit. Our fire pit gazebosĀ are designed to provide a safe, welcoming gathering space where learners can sit, share stories, cook outdoors, or simply warm up after a woodland adventure. With sturdy timber frames and optional seating, these gazebos create an anchor point for your forest school community - come rain or shine.

š Nature & Exploration Play ā Let Curiosity Lead the Way
We specialise in nature and exploration playĀ equipment that blends seamlessly into forest school environments. Think mud kitchens, bug hotels, discovery tables, and sensory paths. These elements encourage children to engage with their surroundings, ask questions, and make connections with the living world around them. Itās all about learning through doing, digging, splashing, mixing, observing, and investigating.

š Bespoke Outdoor Solutions ā Built Around Your Vision
No two forest schools are the same and we love that. Our team is here to help bring your unique ideas to life.
