We have been advertising our MagPost successfully in Parent and Teacher magazine for a while now, and recently landed a wee editorial. See pages 26 & 27of the magazine (online copy here) for our lovely advert and the editorial. Watch out for the pricing error - MagPosts are a very good value £115 + vat each, not as listed in the magazine "from £5000"!

Education and play go hand-in-hand, so for Nurseries and Schools we have designed a range of playground equipment to support active learning. We work closely at all levels with advisors and practioners in outdoor learning, early years education and play. The result - products which support implementation of the curriculum at all stages, active learning, imaginative play and development of fine and gross motor skills.

Children sometimes just want to have fun and often learn most from periods of free exploration and experimentation. At Caledonia Play we balance the need for freedom of movement and experience with carefully considered layouts and product design. By ensuring that our products sit comfortably in the environment children are able to engage in their surroundings in a holistic and natural way.

Many of our products are multi-functional and can be used in both free play and structured curriculum time. One of our most popular designs is our sleeper, or outdoor classroom. It can be used as a large play area or as an outdoor teaching space. This ensures maximum play value and full utilisation of the available area, vital considerations where space and budgets can be limited.

We have been designing and manufacturing educational and commercial playground equipment for ten years, supplying all levels in the education sector; nursery, primary and secondary. It may be possible to adapt certain equipment to make best use of space and budget.
