Playgarden is a growing company offering play design, equipment and resources to the school and nursery market. Based in Sheffield the company offers a unique service with the emphasis upon well thought out, landscape designed play areas for children that focus upon their particular needs rather than upon what adults think is best for them.

We are working with early year’s consultants and practitioners within the industry who work extensively with children to gain an insight into this wonderful, rich, dynamic play and learning environment.

We are expanding rapidly, developing our own range of play resources and play equipment to meet the needs of the school and nursery market.
