We make transforming your playground hassle-free. Our famous customer service applies from your first contact with us and continues long after your project is finished.
You’ll have your own local, dedicated design consultant who will take your playground from conception to reality.
You’ll book in your free playground design consultation slot with your local expert. They’ll call into your school to talk through your vision. If you aren’t sure what is possible for your school playground, leave it to the experts. They’ll take all the initial measurements, budget ballparks and must-haves for your playground space.
After your consultation meeting, our in-house design team will turn your vision into a 3D reality. The CAD design brings your playground to life, helping you to visualise your new space. Your designated design consultant will talk you through the designs- we can also chat to governing boards and bodies too.
If you’d like your design consultant to share the 3D design with your school council to gather their feedback too, they can.
Our in-house manufacturing workshop will then make your playground equipment. All based in the UK, our play equipment is built to the highest industry safety and durability standards possible. Every piece of outdoor play equipment is handmade to give you peace of mind for quality.
Once ready, your school playground will be installed by our expert team. Taking care to minimise disruption, our fitters ensure the working site is safe and secure at all times. You’ll be given timescales of the installation during your pre-works meeting to ensure smooth sailing and the great communication we’re famous for.
Many of our customers have bought from us before and return because they know they’ll get a fantastic product with brilliant customer service. Our customer care team are there to support you every step of your journey.
Once your dream playground is installed and your ribbon-cutting ceremony is complete, we’ll provide helpful training, advice and tips on how to make the most of your playground equipment.

Our new EYFS garden is low maintenance and covers all areas of our EYFS curriculum. The children love spending time in it in all weathers and it ensures children are benefiting from the great outdoors whilst developing lots of different skills in many areas of learning.
S.Plow, Early Years Lead
Our new outdoor space has transformed the outdoor learning. The children have become keen builders, climbers, inventors, performers, and story tellers. The structures are well designed to incorporate all the children learning at different stages.
K. Dickson, Nursery Teacher
The whole process has been brilliantly managed and delivered, Charlie listened carefully to our plans, needs and ideas and then he and his team created a design that suited us perfectly. It all ran smoothly from plan to install, any questions, worries or concerns were answered and resolved quickly. We got exactly what we asked for.
S.Dowling, Assistant Headteacher
We worked with Fawns to create our new EYFS outdoor area. Fawns had been recommended to us by the former headteacher of another school, and we were very impressed with the design and the professionalism of the team we worked with. The build was completed within the time frame given and all the equipment is of a very good standard. I would certainly have no issue working with Fawns again.
P.Crosthwaite, Assistant Headteacher
We have a school full of very excited children today who have spent their whole time dodging the ‘crocodiles’ in the blue river. They love it and so do I.
D.Fell, Headteacher
We are very pleased with the project, and the pupils were very excited and happy to try out the equipment today, it has been a great investment for the school.
H. Thompson, School Business Manager
Thank you to Fawns for a fabulous transformation of our playground. Paul, our designer, really listened to the brief and has delivered a play area that is both fun and challenging for the children. The contractors were a pleasure to have on site. Our playground has been given a new lease of life and we are all trilled with the final results.
C.Churchill, School Business Manager
