Our Reading Shed provides a dedicated space for children to explore books independently, promoting early literacy skills, concentration, and imaginative play. Its layout encourages children to choose their own stories, enhancing decision-making and curiosity.

Stackable stools allow for group reading sessions, fostering social interaction, communication, and cooperative learning. Children can share stories, discuss characters, and engage in collaborative storytelling, supporting social and emotional development.

Constructed from pressure-treated redwood timber our Reading Shed is durable and safe for outdoor learning. It transforms nursery gardens, EYFS areas, and primary school playgrounds into inviting, educational spaces, combining literacy, social development, and imaginative play in one engaging resource.

Katrina Heywood

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!
