The Playscape Playground Process
There are distinct phases that your NEW playground will go through from enquiry to realisation. Below we take you through our tried and trusted method to illustrate how we ensure great results for every design and install.
Looking to deliver perfection with every Playground project
Just what is it that helps to create the perfect playground? The steps outlined below show what goes in to each and every school playground design or council playground installation that Playscape Playgrounds carry out from initial consultation to the finished gleaming project and even after sales care, maintenance and advice.
01
CONSULTATION & FREE PLAYGROUND QUOTE
We understand what a big decision and investment is required when considering a new school playground. It’s a project that has a lot of stakeholders on both a financial and community level and to arrive at the perfect balance between happy parents and children and the right price ticket takes time and communication. We provide a FREE no obligation quote and initial consultation as a starting point for those discussions and we will work with you to ensure we are able to offer a service which will fulfil your needs to the highest standard and to meet your budgets.
03
PLAYGROUND INSTALLATION
We have had plenty of practice at getting new playgrounds installed within tight deadlines, tight budgets, adverse weather conditions and every other possible obstacle that has popped up and surprised us over the years. With a finely tuned process, a rigorous set of self-imposed specifications, nationally recognised safety qualifications and staff checks in place, as standard, we will deliver a new playground you can have confidence in an be proud of.
02
THE DESIGN PROCESS
Consultation is really a fancy word for having a one to one chat about your new playground needs and the consultation continues into the design stage. You may have already discussed the plan at length within your school at a staff level or it may be something that has been discussed in a parents and friends association capacity and now it’s time for Playscape to bring your initial ideas to life with initial 3D designs that will help to consolidate different ideas from the children, staff and parents into a project blueprint which will mean that everyone is delighted with the facility for years to come.
04
SUPPORT
When all your school play equipment is installed, the opening ceremony is over and hoards of children have had their first outing over trim trails, through play tunnels and down slides you might think the project is over. At Playscape we believe we have a duty to all our clients to check in and ensure that children, parents and staff are still happy and that our equipment is standing up to the test of time and treatment. We are able to maintain your new equipment on a contractual basis moving forward to help protect your investment well into the future.

FAQs
Playscape’s design process typically runs from an initial consultation through a free site visit, a bespoke 3D design proposal, and final sign-off before installation begins. Timelines vary by project size and complexity, but most schools and councils move from initial consultation to an agreed design within a few weeks.
The process starts with an initial phone discussion followed by a free, no-obligation site visit, allowing Playscape to fully assess the space and understand the project’s requirements before any design work begins.
Yes. Playscape creates 3D visual designs that bring initial ideas to life, helping schools, staff, and parents align on a single project blueprint before any ground is disturbed.
Yes, Playscape’s design team creates playgrounds using inclusive play equipment so children of all physical and cognitive abilities can play and learn together in the same space.
All designs and installations follow a self-imposed set of rigorous specifications. They are also carried out by NEBOSH-qualified, Safe Contractor-certified, Enhanced DBS-checked staff, and can include an optional RPII-approved post-installation inspection for full certification.
Playscape works within a school or council’s set budget from the design stage onward, putting together a bespoke quote after the site visit so costs are agreed before any 3D design or installation work proceeds.
