playgrounds for nurseries and early years

Our playgrounds help little ones get active and ignite their imaginations

building minds, muscles, and motor skills

Everyone knows playgrounds should be fun! But we believe they should also help the children who use them to learn and grow...

At dbd, we're committed to linking our school and nursery playground designs to learning and development objectives. Whether we're building Climbing Frames to develop growing muscles, Mud Kitchens to spark creativity, or Sandpits for constructive play.

what our customers say

Our garden is now truly an all-year-round place to learn, explore & play.

Little Willows Nursery, Bath

active outdoor play equipment for early years

Our Climbers, Trim Trails, and Play Towers are designed to aid physical development as children balance, jump, and slide.

Functional play performs an important role in early years development, so bring on the big play equipment!

All of the equipment we stock is made from sustainable, high-quality timber, treated for durability so children can continue to enjoy it for many years to come.

opportunities for imaginative play

We love building fantastic playground landscapes which spark creativity in young children.

Tunnels and Play Grass markings can help children to imagine new surroundings. Play Grass also enables play areas to be used all year around, no more "stay out of the mud!"

Our Sandpits, Water Walls, and Mud Kitchens, on the other hand, give children a chance to create and problem solve independently.

We also supply outdoor learning environments including Shelters and Outdoor Classrooms.

those extra details...

So often, it's those finishing touches which make all the difference.

We don't only work with big ideas. If you need Playground Storage or Seating, or if you need your playground to work around an established routine, we can help with that too.

At dbdplay, we never cut corners. Our guarantees reflect our commitment to finding solutions that work for you in the long term.

The dbdplay team have been absolutely fantastic in helping us envision, plan and develop our fantastic new garden!

The children (and adults) have had so much fun exploring the bug hotel, performing on stage and getting tangled in the spider web!

Our garden is now truly an all year-round place to learn, explore & play. Thank you so much.

Just a quick line to say how pleased we all are with the new playground equipment.

It looks fantastic and the children are absolutely thrilled with it!

Thank you so much for your advice, design work, and our sincere thanks to the installation team for their hard work installing everything, especially in the really hot weather.

dbdplay have been a pleasure to work with from the start to the end of the project. 

The build team were brilliant - you wouldn't have known they were there if it wasn't for the diggers!

We can't recommend dbdplay highly enough.
