An Outstanding Midlands Playground - £ 140 000
As Business Manager here at the Grange , for the last 30 years , I had always wanted our children to enjoy the benefits of a beautiful Natural Playground instead of their existing Moonscape Asphalt Play area. During the last 5 years I had quotes and designs from all the well known Playground companies ; unfortunately none of their designs contained the Imagination , the Adventure and the exciting Planting which I had always envisaged.
I did not want our children to grow up in a standard Modular structure Playground. My Dream for our children seemed a Non Starter , when a colleague in a Birmingham School , advised me about School Playground Designers. The rest is HISTORY !
Robert Sergent-Fairley visited us and listened attentively to our requirements. Within a matter of days , he supplied us with the most incredible hand drawn design of his ideas for our Playground and Outside Learning area. His perception and translation of our wishes was amazing. The work is now finished and without any doubt , we have the best Playground , “North of Watford”.
Robert’s team were amazing. They were the politest , happiest and most conscientious group , I have ever worked with. They built by hand , the entire Playground. We watched them daily , cutting with hand saws , sanding with hand tools and joining all the timbers with incredible skill and precision. The children were fascinated at their method of creating beautifully patterned Mosaic pathways (similar to those the children had visited recently at a Roman site). Robert’s horticultural skills were equally awesome as our Playground is now planted with Palm Trees , Olive Trees , Tree Ferns , Fruit Trees , evergreen shrubs , Sensory plants and a medley of fruit and vegetables.
Yes , my Dream has come true .
