Our Bug Hotel offers children a dedicated outdoor space to explore and observe various insect species in their natural habitats. By filling the hotel with natural materials, children can create environments that attract different insects, creating a deeper understanding of biodiversity and ecosystems.

Ideal for nurseries, primary schools, and forest schools, this resource supports a range of activities, from scientific observation and data recording to creative arts and storytelling. Children develop critical thinking, environmental awareness, and observational skills while engaging with the natural world.

By incorporating our Bug Hotel into your outdoor areas, educators create an inviting, hands-on learning environment that encourages curiosity, ecological literacy, and a connection to nature. It is a versatile and engaging addition to any outdoor classroom or garden area.

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.

Fantastic company and service. Designed and installed my day nursery garden. Couldn't be happier with it. Eden created such a wonderful environment for our nursery children, who will have years of joy with it!
