Outdoor Classrooms — Eden Play

Outdoor classrooms

Purposeful spaces that bring learning outdoors

Outdoor classrooms create structured, weather‑ready areas that support teaching, exploration and group work all year round. They extend your usable space, enrich your curriculum and give children more opportunities to learn, collaborate and thrive outdoors.

Learning outdoors

Teaching spaces that extend your curriculum

Outdoor classrooms provide a dedicated environment for outdoor learning – from literacy and STEM activities to storytelling, group work and small‑group interventions. They help you take teaching beyond the walls of your building, offering children fresh air, movement and a change of setting that supports focus and engagement.

These spaces become an extension of your curriculum, giving staff the freedom to deliver purposeful learning in a calm, structured outdoor environment.

Weather‑ready spaces for everyday use

Shelters create comfortable, practical areas that protect children from sun and rain, helping you make the most of your outdoor space throughout the year. They support outdoor transitions, group activities and free‑flow play, giving staff reliable cover and families confidence in your provision.

With durable materials and thoughtful design, shelters offer everyday functionality that enhances your outdoor environment and increases the value of your space.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team at Eden play have been extremely supportive throughout our project to fully redesign our outdoor area. Throughout the design process the team understood what we wanted and made our vision come to life, taking on feedback and making adjustments to suit our needs. The outdoor area was redesigned for a SEND setting and Eden play listened and made bespoke changes to suit our requirements. The installation process ran extremely smoothly, thanks to the excellent communication of the team onsite, who worked with us flexibly to ensure pupil safety. Matt and team were brilliant throughout! The support continued with the after care too, with the team coming back to offer solutions and complete any snagging work efficiently. It has been a pleasure getting to know the team at Eden play, who have all been extremely professional and supportive from start to finish. I would happily recommend them to others and would have them back for any future projects.
