statement playgrounds that enhance physical play and learning
From Outdoor Classrooms and Canopies, Trim Trails and Towers, to Mud Kitchens and MUGAs, and everything in-between, we ensure that the playgrounds we create are a hub of physical play and learning. Albert Einstein said “Play is the highest form of research” and we completely agree!
understanding your needs to create together
At the heart of our process lies the dedication to comprehensively grasp the needs and aspirations of every school, pre-school, and nursery we work with. Whether it's a desire for heightened physical activity or the creation of an outdoor learning space, your dedicated playground consultant will be there to guide you every step of the way.
By delving into the challenges and opportunities present in your current outdoor spaces, we can tailor solutions to ensure maximum usability and enjoyment. Together we can create the ideal environment for outdoor play and learning.

Whether you aim to enhance outdoor learning capacity or introduce forest schools and dynamic physical play areas, we're here to ensure a consistent standard across all your schools while preserving each one's distinctiveness.
We offer options to incorporate your trusts colours, logos, and mottos, by offering bespoke signage, coloured surfacing, and multicoloured canopies.
Additionally, we collaborate with you to infuse your trust's values into the space's design, ensuring alignment with your vision and objectives.
don't take just our word for it
"Excalibur have been working with dbdplay for over 5 years to help us to develop and improve our schools outside spaces. They have designed and installed EYFS playgrounds, Trim Trails and Outdoor Gym Equipment, alongside key landscaping works improving the layout and useability of our playgrounds.
The quality of the workmanship, the attention to detail and the overall helpfulness of all of their team is exceptional.
However the area that really marks them out, is aftercare. We have used other play companies in the past and they too are helpful and proactive, up to the sale, however unfortunately too often that is where the customer service ends. We have never encountered this problem with dbd. As a business they are always available to offer guidance and if needed they will ensure a repair team are on site in under 48 hours to solve urgent problems. This level of aftercare is invaluable to an Academy Trust and explains why dbd have become one of Excalibur’s key trusted partners. We cannot recommend them highly enough"
