Development Through Play

Kilkeel Nursery reached out to KOMPAN to upgrade their outdated playground, aiming to create a more engaging space that would support their children's growth. With funds raised by the nursery, they have been able to enhance the physical activity, which they believe is crucial in helping children develop the skills needed for a smooth transition into primary school.

Understanding the nursery's commitment to child development, KOMPAN applied the same dedication when designing the new playground. Backed by research from the KOMPAN Play Institute, we know that well-designed playgrounds can increase children's physical activity by 59% compared to non-KOMPAN playgrounds. By creating a space that encourages active play, the new playground at Kilkeel Nursery will help nurture the children’s physical and social development, perfectly aligning with the nursery’s goals.

“A truly professional project from beginning to end. Mike listens and provides sensible but imaginative solutions to a wish list, while his installation team work to the highest standards and are meticulous in every detail. We are delighted with our new play equipment and would recommend KOMPAN absolutely.”

Seven Tower Unit – Packed with Play Value

The Seven Tower play structure offers an exciting blend of physical challenges and social-emotional development, making it a go-to piece of play equipment for children. As they navigate the structure, children naturally develop essential skills like turn-taking, cooperation, and consideration for others. Its diverse activities and layout make it an ideal space for fostering these fundamental life skills.

With a variety of play options and high capacity, the Seven Tower unit encourages extended play and keeps children coming back for more. Multiple ways to access the platforms, from ladders to climbing walls, invite endless exploration. The connections between towers add even more excitement, offering a mix of stable bridges, wobbly nets, and the classic tunnel.

Exiting the towers is just as thrilling, with options ranging from a fast-paced slide to a daring fireman's pole. This well-designed structure guarantees comprehensive physical development, while also providing opportunities for children to engage in fun, social play with friends. Ultimately, the Seven Tower unit not only promotes physical and cognitive growth but also nurtures friendships in a playful, enjoyable way.
