We have an extensive catalogue of markings including board games, letter games, mazes, numbers & grids, roadway markings, shapes and feet, sports markings, targets and trails which help either individual or teams of children to play imaginatively.

Safety Surfacing Page 14
Wide Range of Surfaces Available! At Let s Play Everywhere we offer a variety of safety surfaces so that a degree of risk can be introduced into outdoor play whilst still maintaining a safe environment. With this in mind, we have worked hard to develop safety surfaces for outdoor areas which safeguard children s wellbeing whilst they re having fun. Rubber safety surfaces reduce the risk of injury due to the cushioning and impact absorbing abilities. Our surfaces maximise play time and encourage children s physical and mental development offering activities that stretch their abilities, foster their imagination and build their confidence, allowing them to learn how to evaluate and manage risk. We provide a whole range of safety surfacing that has been designed to provide a safe and comfortable environment for children to learn and play in. With everything from colourful wetpour surfacing with fun and educational inlaid graphics, to bonded rubber mulch which maintains a natural feel to your outdoor area, we have many options available that we can tailor to suit your exact requirements. We also have lots of other surfacing options including carpeting, play bark, grass mats and artificial grass. Let s Play are committed to installing guaranteed high quality safety surfaces which comply with health and safety regulations and are great looking inspirational play areas. We have decades of experience providing school playgrounds, play centres, community centres and councils with top class surfaces! Page 15
Bonded Rubber Mulch Page 16
Bonded Rubber Mulch Surfacing! Bonded Rubber Mulch is a natural looking play surface often described as rubber bark. It is an extremely durable and environmentally friendly safety surface that contains recycled rubber mixed with resin. Bonded Rubber Mulch surfacing is an economical alternative to wetpour surfacing. It can be laid on to grass or existing hard standing surfaces such as tarmac and so the cost can be reduced as it requires minimal ground work preparation. Bonded Rubber mulch offers a natural look that compliments almost any outdoor area, available in several great-looking colours; it is a solution to refresh any play area! Let s Play Everywhere understands the importance of ensuring that the children in your care are safe and comfortable during play time. This is why we always adhere to all critical fall height regulations to ensure that the safety surface reduces the risk of injury with its cushioning and impact absorbing abilities. We can offer up to a 2.4m critical fall height for bonded rubber mulch onto grass, this would ensure that even a high climbing frame offers the maximum safety. Page 17
Artificial Grass Page 18
The Natural Look! If you would like to keep your playground surface looking natural but low maintenance, then there s no better option than artificial grass! Artificial grass is not only a safe option for any play area but also environmentally friendly whilst maintaining that natural look to your outdoor play area. Real turf requires plenty of maintenance, whilst being easily damaged. Heavy rainfall can cause your grass to become waterlogged and muddy. Artificial grass requires very little maintenance and maintains its colour all year round. Artificial grass will break the impact of falls as it is just as cushioned as real grass, ensuring that the critical fall heights of any play equipment on your outdoor area are taken into consideration. Let s Play Everywhere have been designing and installing play areas with safety surfaces such as artificial grass for more than 20 years and are more than qualified to provide you with the perfect playground that is stimulating and safe as possible.

Sport and Fitness Page 20
Keeping Fit! Let s Play Everywhere are committed to creating playgrounds that not only increase mental development but also physical development. We offer a variety of solutions that will help your children to become more active. Multi Use Games Areas or MUGAS are a cost effective solution for transforming an empty space in any playground. A dedicated sports zone will be the perfect addition to your school playground, ensuring that your children get the opportunity to develop their balance, coordination, agility and gross motor skills. It has been proven that engaging in team sports is also character building; it helps children to become more confident by building social skills and friendships, teaching them how to communicate with others and how to work within a team. Extremely versatile, MUGAS offer the opportunity for a variety of sports including basketball, football, hockey and netball. MUGAS offer a structured and enclosed area for ball sports that allows children of any age to play safely. MUGAS are built to withstand years of high volumes of traffic and extended periods of high impact use, and can be built to any size or specification.

Outdoor Classroom Page 22
Hand Crafted Structures! Outdoor classrooms provide alternative teaching environments that help to engage children in learning and story telling. Moving outdoors from a traditional classroom has many learning advantages. Outdoor classrooms and shelters allow teachers to take the classroom outside and take lessons away from the traditional classroom into the outdoor play area where the children can learn whilst enjoying the natural environment. Children enjoy natural spaces and find a change from the normal routine exciting, encouraging them to learn whilst they are having fun. The natural environment is a great learning tool whilst giving the children the opportunity to get fresh air and enjoy being outside. Outdoor teaching environments are ideal for sensory education and learning about the natural environment, but they can also be used for drama and story telling, offering the opportunity for imaginative and creative learning through role play. Outdoor learning is a very important part of every child s development, providing endless options for creative learning, confidence building and exercise whilst also offering a sense of freedom. Our extensive range of outdoor classrooms, shelters and playhouses offer stimulating learning spaces and social areas that encourage friendships. One of the most popular types of shelter that we offer is the playhouse. Playhouses offer children shelter from the weather whilst encouraging them to play imaginatively and engage in role play. Offering endless opportunities for both play and learning, the playhouse can be used for story telling or drama and play scenes, or it can even be used as an outdoor educational tool for the teachers to take lessons. We can even create unique playhouses that encourage imaginative play; we have designed everything from fairy tale rickety rackety houses to mud kitchens! Page 23
