So, Who Are Pentagon Play?
Pentagon Play are the UK's number one school playground equipment specialist, with more than 25 years of experience designing and creating incredible play spaces for children.
Since 1998, Pentagon Play has transformed more than 15,000 school, nursery and commercial playgrounds across the UK, creating spaces designed to encourage children to play, explore, learn and develop.
Their approach goes far beyond simply putting playground equipment into an outdoor space.
Pentagon Play believes that thoughtfully designed playgrounds can have a genuine impact on children's development and wellbeing. Their equipment is designed to support physical activity, imaginative play, social interaction and learning, helping turn an ordinary outdoor area into somewhere children genuinely want to spend time.
Their mission says it perfectly:
"We improve children's lives today, to shape happier and healthier grown-ups tomorrow."
And that's something we at Learning SPACE can really get behind.
Why Are We So Excited About Pentagon Play?
At Learning SPACE, we're passionate about resources that encourage children to learn through play.
We know that play isn't simply something children do when they've finished learning. Play is learning.
Children develop physical skills when they climb, balance, jump and move. They develop communication and social skills when they play alongside others. They use problem-solving skills when they work out how to navigate equipment. They develop confidence when they try something new.
A well-designed outdoor play environment can support all of this - while simply being a brilliant place to have fun.
That's why Pentagon Play feels like such a natural fit for Learning SPACE.
Their playground equipment combines creativity, movement and learning in a way that encourages children to explore the environment around them.

Outdoor Play That Supports the Whole Child
We all know how important movement is for children, but outdoor play can offer so much more than physical exercise.
A thoughtfully designed playground can provide opportunities for:
Physical development: Through climbing, balancing, jumping, running and navigating different challenges.
Sensory exploration: Through different textures, sounds, movement and natural elements.
Social development: As children learn to share spaces, negotiate games and interact with their peers.
Communication: As children create imaginative games, communicate their ideas and play collaboratively.
Problem-solving: As they work out how to navigate equipment and overcome physical challenges.
Confidence and independence: As children choose what they want to explore and challenge themselves at their own pace.
And perhaps most importantly, outdoor play gives children the opportunity to be children.

Designed for Schools, Nurseries and Children's Settings
One of the things we love about Pentagon Play equipment is the huge range of possibilities available.
Whether you're looking to completely transform a school playground or add new elements to an existing outdoor area, together with Pentagon Play, we can help you make the most of your space.
Their playground designs can be tailored to different environments, ages and requirements, helping settings create outdoor spaces that are exciting, purposeful and designed around the children who will use them.
For schools, this means an outdoor area can become an extension of the learning environment rather than simply somewhere children go at break time.
Outdoor spaces can support curriculum-based learning, imaginative play, physical development and social interaction throughout the school day.

Quality Materials Built for Busy Playgrounds
We know that schools and nurseries need equipment that can stand up to the demands of everyday life.
Outdoor playground equipment has to cope with enthusiastic children, changing weather conditions and plenty of use - day after day, year after year.
Pentagon Play uses high-quality materials selected specifically for durability and longevity.
Their equipment incorporates materials including high-pressure-treated play-grade timber, HDPE plastic panels, Accoya, Stokbord, Redwood timber and Duraply.
These materials are chosen to create playground equipment that is robust enough for busy outdoor environments while maintaining an attractive, engaging appearance.
And because we're in Northern Ireland, we know just how important it is for outdoor equipment to be able to cope with the weather!
Sustainability Matters Too
We're increasingly conscious of the products and resources we provide and the impact they can have on the wider world.
Pentagon Play incorporates sustainable materials into its manufacturing processes, including Accoya and Redwood timber, alongside other durable materials designed to provide longevity.
Creating equipment that lasts is important in itself. The longer a product remains useful and functional, the less frequently it needs to be replaced.
For schools and organisations investing in outdoor spaces, durability can therefore be an important part of both value for money and sustainability.

Built to Last: Pentagon Play's Material Guarantees
When you're investing in a playground, you want to know that it's built to stand the test of time. Pentagon Play backs the quality of its materials with generous guarantees, giving schools, nurseries and children's settings added confidence in their investment.
Timber comes with a 15-year guarantee, while steel, plastics and artificial grass are covered by a 10-year guarantee. Pentagon Play also provides a 10-year guarantee on Polycarbonate, PETG and Stokbord, while treated plywood comes with a 5-year guarantee.
These guarantees reflect the durability and quality of the materials used across Pentagon Play's outdoor equipment, giving settings reassurance that their playground is designed for years of active use.
For schools and nurseries looking to create an outdoor play environment that delivers long-term value, quality materials and durability are just as important as fun and functionality.

Making Play More Inclusive
At Learning SPACE, inclusion is at the heart of what we do.
We work with children with a huge range of abilities and needs, and we know that there isn't one single way to play.
Some children love climbing and challenging themselves physically. Others prefer imaginative play. Some seek movement and sensory input, while others may need quieter spaces where they can take a break from a busy environment.
Creating inclusive outdoor spaces means thinking about how different children will experience and use the environment.
That's one of the reasons we're particularly excited about bringing Pentagon Play to our Northern Ireland customers.
When you're designing or developing a playground, there is an opportunity to think beyond traditional equipment and consider how the whole space can encourage different types of play.
Freestanding ChimesMore Than Just Playground Equipment
What really stands out about Pentagon Play as our new supplier, is that they don't simply provide equipment - they are playground specialists.
Together with Pentagon Play, we will be working with customers to understand their space, requirements and ambitions before developing playground designs that make the most of the environment.
Our expertise can be invaluable for schools and settings that know they want to improve their outdoor area but aren't quite sure where to start.
Instead of simply asking, "What equipment should we buy?", the conversation becomes: "What could our outdoor space become?"
And that's a much more exciting question.
Play Bridge WalkwayWhy Outdoor Play Matters More Than Ever
Children today have so many demands placed on them.
School, homework, technology, busy schedules and the pressures of everyday life can mean that opportunities for unstructured outdoor play are more important than ever.
A great playground gives children permission to move, experiment, take manageable risks, imagine and simply have fun.
For some children, particularly those who struggle with sitting still or concentrating for long periods, outdoor movement can be an essential part of regulation.
For others, the playground provides valuable opportunities to practise social skills in a less structured environment.
And for children who learn best through doing, moving and exploring, outdoor play can bring learning to life.

A Playground Can Become Part of the Curriculum
Imagine a playground where children aren't simply running around, but counting steps, exploring shapes, practising balance, creating imaginary worlds, developing stories, working together and solving problems.
That's the potential of a well-designed outdoor learning environment.
Outdoor play can complement classroom learning by giving children opportunities to experience concepts physically and practically.
Maths can become movement. Science can become exploration. Literacy can become storytelling. Physical education can become adventure. And social and emotional learning can happen naturally through play.
