Chelsea SW10 Playground - £80,000
Hampshire School - Design and Construction of a Multiplay Structure at a Prestigious Preparatory School
Chelsea SW10 has a brand-new playground, bringing imagination, adventure, and natural play to children of all ages.
The £80,000 project, installed at Hampshire School, was designed to engage children up to 13 years old, combining safety with stimulating, creative play.
Quote from The Head Teacher
"After two years of searching in vain for a playground company that could bring our vision to life, meeting Robert Sergent-Fairley was a turning point.
He listened carefully to our ideas and, within days, presented a hand-drawn design that captured the dreams of our staff, parents, and governors. The project was brought to life flawlessly by his talented team in just four weeks — it truly exceeded all our expectations."
The playground’s journey began after the school spent two years searching for a company that could deliver a traditional, natural-style play structure. “We tried many companies, but none could capture the vision we had for our students,” says the Head Teacher.
By chance, at a Head Teachers’ conference, a friend recommended Robert Sergent-Fairley, renowned for his bespoke playground designs. After listening closely to the school’s ideas and ideals, Robert returned with a hand-drawn concept that perfectly captured the dreams of the Head, staff, parents, and governors.
