Discovery through play, fitness through exercise, development through interaction with others - these physical, mental and spiritual aspects of education are recognised as an integral part of every child's essential continuous learning curve.
Wicksteed aims to make the choice of play and sports equipment for each age group of the youngsters in your care easier, safer and more economical.
Easier - because of the vast selection available from one single source; Safer - because children's safety is Wicksteed's first priority and we have always led the playground equipment industry in the independent testing of products to the appropriate Safety Standard.
More economical - because Wicksteed caters for every type of project from those with more modest budgets to the most ambitious of sport and play schemes. We can design and install a complete playground or sports area for your school from scratch, or we can simple supply and fit a stand-along item.
Working closely with young people is something very close to Wicksteed’s heart so we involve Play Teams from schools across the UK to engage youngsters to voice exactly what they want in their playgrounds. This enables us to confidently ensure that our product portfolio fully enhances the needs and desires of the children. Click here for Play Teams.
We have a dedicated brochure for Schools, as well as other brochures covering Freenotes Outdoor Musical Instruments, Sailshades, Xerscape Fitness Equipment and Netscapes, as well as our extensive 204 page main Product Book.
