Edith Philipsen (Head Teacher Smithy Street Primary School) Nov 2012

I was delighted to find and choose Theories Playscapes Ltd to work with in order to develop a whole playground solution for our school. Theories stood out easily from their competitors in terms of creative play design experience and project management expertise, offering a comprehensive bespoke design and build package that saw the project through from the very first meeting to last bolt tightening, all the while consulting and liaising effectively.

Theories helped us comprehensively and imaginatively re-think the whole of the outdoor play spaces, dealing with both the physical environment as well as management issues we were experiencing, such as some challenging lunch time behaviour. We have found playtime behaviour greatly improved since so many new activities and play features were introduced and the tarmac expanse broken up into smaller and more attractive and intimate play areas with different inherent characteristics and purposes. The children in Smithy Street primary have repeatedly commented on their delight with their new play environment.

We continue to work with Theories to tweak and develop new play solutions as they are required.

 A few bumps and bruises - 30/04/2013

Children should be allowed to suffer bumps or bruises during their school days to help them build character, a leading headteacher will say today.

Christian Heinrich, chairman of the Boarding Schools Association, will tell his annual conference that more time needs to be spent on helping children to develop their curiosity.

My website gets a fair amount of traffic these days, and can generate some lively, informed debate - and I'm open to ideas for future pieces.

 
 
 Water Play

Mud and water are a play opportunity? What’s wrong with worn grassed areas or a puddle. Its still only earth and water after all? A problem of managing floor cleaning may not be reason enough to put half the playground out of bounds? A fear of parental complaints about dirty clothes should not prevent children have dirty play. Playing on...
 
 
 Climbing Play

Best play, we know, is where children engage in activities of their own volition and invention that engages their imagination as well as their body. So a Play Tower set beneath a tree can become a den, a look-out, a rocket or a tree house. The imagination is the limit. Play structures shapes like a metal plane can never be anything other than...
 
 
 Millfields Nursery

Millfields Nursery was an outside space which needed some up-dating and creating different areas in what was previously an empty tarmac space with some murals. Theories Landscapes designed and built a climbing tower with ramps, hiding under-crofts, balance beams, planting beds, pergolas, a bike track with ground markings and traffic lights,...
 
 
 Growing Areas

Growing areas raised planters or allotments are an opportunity to help children to connect and understand nature better by enabling them to plant seeds, nurture young plants, and then reap mature fruit or vegetable. The value to support curriculum topics is obvious.
