educATION & PLAY:
places for learning, discovery & fun.

Play is an intrinsic part of what makes us human. Through play we learn about ourselves, each other and the world around us. All landscapes should create opportunities for play, not just those designated as playgrounds.

Our understanding of child pedagogy and play theory has been gathered through over 20 years of practice. We use this to create unique spaces that offer children of all abilities the chance to try something new – places where they can choose, explore and discover.
