WELCOME TO CREATIVE PLAY ! Hello and thank you for taking the time to read our brochure. Who are we? Creative Play is one of the leading outdoor play equipment specialists in the UK. We design, manufacture and install all its equipment here in the UK, using UK-sourced materials (including our timber which comes from FSC-accredited sustainable sources). Our equipment and safety surfacing has been installed in thousands of schools, nurseries, holiday parks, council play areas and holiday attractions across the UK.
Play Advisors Creative Play has a number of Play Advisors to help you in planning and designing your playground based on the budget and space available. We produce detailed proposals with 3D images to show exactly how your play area could look. These are provided at no cost or obligation – so it is always worth asking Creative Play to quote to develop your play areas. We aim to squeeze as much play value as possible from the budget and space available and schools often comment on how much better value Creative Play equipment is compared to other companies.
We have a reputation for quality – built over the past 25 years - in our equipment, our installations and in our customer service. Schools and nurseries which we have worked with are more than happy to recommend us and ask us back to install new equipment when the need arises.
Our aim Our goal is to design and make children’s play equipment that is fun to use and also keeps them active and develops a range of spatial skills such as balance, co-ordination, agility and strength. Our equipment is designed to meet Ofsted’s requirements for physical education. We have also designed equipment to encourage imaginative play and social interaction.

The importance of outdoor play equipment We’re committed to developing the very best in children’s play equipment to promote healthy living and improved well-being for our youngsters. There is growing concern on the rise of obesity, the lack of regular exercise and the increase in sedentary lifestyles amongst young children. Current advice says that children should be having at least one hours’ moderate exercise every day. Our equipment helps schools achieve that aim (our Challenger range is often used for Physical Education lessons). More exercise can make children fitter and healthier, and also helps children concentrate better, makes them happier and can also have a positive impact on behaviour.

WHY CHOOSE CREATIVE PLAY? Value for money : Many of our customers tell us that we offer much more play equipment for the budget than other companies – so we believe we offer the best value for money. Our aim is to combine the highest quality with affordable pricing.
We know that you’re likely to compare a number of proposals from different play companies before choosing the one you want to transform your play area. So what should you be looking out for? And why should you choose Creative Play? We listen : We’re here to deliver the play area YOU want. To do that, we have to listen carefully to what you’ve got to say and ensure that our proposals reflect your requirements.
Child Safety : All our equipment is compliant with European Safety Standards BS EN 1176. We’ve also introduced enhanced safety features, like our unique slip-resistant surface for steps and floors to make play safer in the wet. In addition, we add additional features like tamper-proof bolts. We also insist on installing the correct depth of safety surfacing required for specific equipment.
Proposals : Once our Play Advisor has met with you and discussed your requirements, we develop a detailed proposal document – with 3D designs and plans – to allow you to visualise how your playground will look.
Sustainability : Our timber comes from sustainable sources in the UK and South Africa. Rubber used in our safety surfacing comes from recycled rubber that would otherwise go to landfill.
Our ranges : We have a wide range of equipment to meet every playground need ; active, social, imaginative, educational and sensory play and to support Learning Outside the Classroom. We also constantly update our ranges to meet new play requirements.
Timber : The majority of our play equipment is made from square cut timber. Why? Because the basic round timber used by other companies tends to split - as shown in the picture. Which means you could be replacing that equipment much sooner than you thought. We build our equipment to last – we cap the ends of the timber to prevent water access, use arsenic and chrome-free preservatives and use timber that is naturally water-resistant. For that reason we guarantee our timber for 20 years.
Flexibility : We’ve built many bespoke items for schools and nurseries to meet a specific requirement. That’s a flexibility few if any other companies can offer.
We do use round timber for some of our ranges – but high quality, specially treated timber from South Africa that – if it splits at all will split to a maximum of only 3mm. We design and manufacture our own equipment here in the UK : Our lead times are much shorter, meaning your playground is transformed much quicker. Many other play companies import their equipment (meaning you have to wait much longer for your equipment). All our equipment complies with European Safety Standard BS EN 1176.

CHALLENGER TRIM TRAILS
CHALLENGER TRIM TRAILS
“Regular fitness and active play for ages 5-12”
If you want your children to get fit and active, be safe while doing so and also have a great time, then a Challenger Trim Trail is the range for you. The Trim Trail incorporates separate elements that develop different parts of the body, provides a cardiovascular work out and allows for both social and active play. Our Trim Trail components have been designed specifically to meet Ofsted’s requirements for physical education. Many schools now incorporate a Trim Trail into their Physical Education lessons, as the equipment and layout ensures all children in a class are active for the duration of the lesson. Indeed, schools find that children return from their Trim Trail session more alert and focused, which subsequently helps concentration in class. Note : Safer surfacing with impact attenuating qualities will be required. Grass can be used provided it is well maintained.

VOYAGER RANGE
VOYAGER RANGE “Active, social & imaginative play for ages 2-12” Social and imaginative play are equally important. That’s why we created the Voyager range, designed to help children play imaginatively together. Whether it is sailing the Seven Seas in a Pirate Ship or Galleon, rushing to put out a fire in our Fire Engine, driving the Mini Train into the station or cross-country exploring in the Land Ranger, children will have plenty to keep them occupied and playing together. Most of the range comes with fun physical components such as slides, scramble nets, jelly boards and the like. The Voyager range offers a great alternative to traditional options of sport or physical exercise. Note : Safer surfacing not required but if installed onto tarmac or concrete a surface with impact attenuating qualities is recommended.

NEW! CARNIVAL RANGE “The fun of the fair for ages 7-12”
Creative Play’s new range brings all the colour and fun of the fair with multi-coloured roof and side panels, helter-skelter slides, play panels – and a performance stage with musical platform! The range promotes role play, social interaction and provides outdoor learning area potential with stage and musical play. The Carnival range is fully modular – choose from between 1 and 6 towers and then the play features you want to meet your exact requirements.

AFRICA RANGE
NEW! AFRICA RANGE “Jungle climbing fun for ages 7-12” A brand new addition to our play equipment range. Our new climbers evoke the spirit of Africa with rounded timber combined with net platforms to create an attractive addition to any play area. These climbers are very popular – accommodating many children at the same time and encouraging both active and social play. Balance, co-ordination, upper body development – all get tested in Africa! The timber used comes from sustainable sources in South Africa, chosen for its resistance to the splitting seen in traditional round timber play equipment. This new timber is guaranteed not to split by more than 3mm (8mm is the minimum requirement to prevent finger entrapment). The timber is also scalloped to create a stronger, safer joint between timbers. Note : Safety surfacing with impact attenuation properties will be required for all items in the Africa range.

SAND & WATER PLAY
NEW! WATER PLAY!
“Playground favourite for ages 2 -7”
Children also love water play. Splashing, filling, emptying…water play can fascinate children for hours. So we developed Neptune - a fully customisable modular water play system meaning that additional units and components can be added as you wish. Stainless steel play basins hold the water or sand while devices such as waterwheels and tip trays allow for exploration of water movement. The lids for the play basins turn into play tables which can be used to join the basins together. It is possible to create your own size of playground equipment with a large pipeline range of items that fit onto the system.
SAND PLAY!
“Playground favourite for ages 2 -7” Children of all ages love playing with sand. It is tactile play with scope for imaginative and social play in a small, sandy world of their own! If you can’t get to the beach, our sandplay options are the next best thing! That’s why we created the Sandbox and Sandhut range. The Sandhut (when the sliding lid is closed) doubles as a performance stage – with the roof providing a theatrical feel and also provides protection from the elements.

LEARNING OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM
LEARNING OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM “Supporting outside learning for all� Learning outside the classroom can lead to a deeper understanding of the concepts that span traditional subject boundaries and which are frequently difficult to teach effectively using classroom methods alone.

We provide a wide range of equipment to support outdoor learning - outdoor classrooms, seating, shelters, shades, fencing, picnic tables, planters and more. Note : Safer surfacing not required.

SENSORY GARDEN
SENSORY GARDEN “Social development, communication skills & environmental awareness for all ages”
Sensory play has become a key element of playground development. The ability to interact with nature and to actively explore the outside world helps the development of social skills, communication skills, environmental awareness and much more. For this reason many schools are now developing sensory gardens on school premises - allowing all children access to the benefits of sensory play without the need (and the inherent problems) of having to go ‘off site’. In addition, they can also form the basis for extra-curricular activities such as Gardening Clubs. We offer two standard Sensory Garden sizes - 4 metres square and 8 metres square. These comprise elements such as planters, trellis, playboards (such as a musical play items), Mini Beasts, Wormery and seating to create a secluded area where children can experience all elements of sensory play. If you require, we can always amend the basic design to incorporate your requirements and can create a bespoke garden to meet your exact specifications – using 24 separate items to provide you with exactly the exact specification you want. 62

MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS
CUSTOMER COMMENTS
If you’re going to buy outdoor play equipment, you’ll want to know it has been built to the very highest specifications. After all, child safety is paramount – and we ensure all safety elements have been accommodated in our equipment and installations.
“Our experience with Creative Play has been a positive one from start to finish. I would, of course, recommend any school to use Creative Play to develop their playground.” Shortwood Infant School.
Timber Our timber is selected first grade timber from commercial plantations with a minimum of 70% of which is sourced from forests independently certified under the Forest Stewardship Council. Timbers are cut free from the heart of the log and square cut with chamfered edges for extra safety.
“A brilliant company! We’ll definitely use them again. They provided an excellent service and were very fast and reliable” - Hillcrest Community Infant and Nursery School. “I liked their ‘can-do’ attitude. Everyone involved was very helpful and we felt that that our little playground was very important to them. The children (and the parents) really love the play equipment” – St Agnes Day Nursery.
Timber is a natural product and splitting can occur as a result of changes in the moisture content. In our experience the square cut timber we use is less prone to splitting.
“The service from start to finish was fantastic. Everything was well planned and organised. Thank you!” – Bitterne Park Infant School.
All our timbers are pressure treated with a chrome-free and arsenic-free preservative which protects against decay and insect attack for 20 years.
“This is the second playground we’ve had installed by Creative Play. We were so happy with the first one that we wanted to use them again!” Bents Green School.
Even with treated timber, it is possible for moisture to enter the end grain and in freezing conditions can cause damage. We therefore cap all end grains with custom-made polyethylene covers to prevent moisture entering and to protect little fingers from splinters and finger entrapment. Panels and Roofs We use high specification, self-coloured, co-extruded polyethylene panels exclusively used in the manufacture of our products. This material is extremely durable, will not fade in sunshine, it is unaffected by moisture, will not delaminate, is graffiti resistant and easy to clean. If you prefer a rustic look, we can provide half-rounded timbers secured to steel frames instead of polyethylene panels to create a more rustic look to our Tower ranges. Floors and Ramps Birch plywood exterior panels with a dense, rough ‘wire-mesh’ pattern surface to provide a slip-resistant finish.
“Amazing service on all points. We were very impressed!” – Cobden Primary School. “Super service, great price!” – Cranham Primary School. “The playground looks great and the children really enjoy the play equipment” – Charltonon-Otmoor Primary School. “I would like to pass on the thanks from all at Maesgwyn. The playground is an unqualified success!” – Maesgwyn Special School. “Thank you for our playground. Creative Play were very professional and efficient, courteous and polite. A joy to deal with!” – Ysgol Parch Thomas Ellis. We did look at other companies to supply our equipment and it was a hard choice but in the end the unique features of Creative Play’s equipment, their design fitting the blueprint and ethos of what we wanted to achieve, the quality of their equipment and their desire to do a good job for us helped us make the decision” - Waverton Primary School.
Ropes and nets Polypropylene covered multi-filament steel core rope secured with hydraulically pressed end connections and custom made tamper-proof net joints. Chains Small link galvanised chain - for safety, strength and longevity. Springs Our spring coils are designed not to compress and therefore not cause entrapment under load and during use. Swing Seats Made from rubber, the sides have a honeycomb construction for maximum impact absorption. Construction Horizontal timbers are secured on the top of uprights by custommade brackets rather than attached to the side of uprights. This maximises the load-bearing capacity. Foundations for timber uprights are 75cm x 40cm, infilled with concrete to 150mm below ground level. Fastenings are tamper-proof or capped with secure custom-made plastic tamper proof covers. All footholds have a slip-resistant surface.
