Why should you encourage physical fitness and active play in your school?

Alongside the highly researched and informative document available by the UK Chief Medical Officers we're also available to discuss how you can encourage physical fitness in your school through play!

Incorporating active play into your playground has many benefits such as developing strength, balance, co-ordination, spatial awareness, social skills and physical fitness...These are important early years skills that will benefit the development of children whilst also improving health and well-being.

We have an extensive product range covering all things active, from gym equipment to trim trails, climbing units and more, we can show you how important it is to incorporate this type of play and development opportunities into your playground.

Here's some active play equipment we have incorporated into a few of the playgrounds we've developed.

Let's talk MUGAs

A Multi Use Games Area also known as a MUGA is a great addition to your playground if you have the space, it provides a safe and versatile space for children to be active. These are customisable and can be fully contained with exterior fencing, football and basketball goal option, various surfacing options and/or line markings. While it's perfect for sports it's also an inviting area for running around and playing games. Its open design encourages creativity and inclusive play, making it a valuable feature for all children.
