At Everyday Play, we believe that learning doesn’t have to stay indoors. With the right outdoor structures in place, schools can offer children the chance to learn, read and explore in the fresh air, all while staying protected from the elements. Our shelters and outdoor classrooms are designed to make this possible, supporting healthier, more engaging learning experiences, whatever the weather.

The Benefits of Outdoor Learning for Children

Spending time outdoors is proven to benefit children in many ways. Fresh air, natural light and a change of environment help improve concentration, reduce stress and support emotional wellbeing. Outdoor learning also encourages creativity, curiosity and confidence – giving children the space to move, speak up and work together more freely than they might inside a traditional classroom.

By providing well-designed outdoor shelters, schools can create flexible learning areas that give children more choice in how and where they learn. These spaces support both structured lessons and informal activities, from reading and group discussions to science experiments and imaginative play.

Designed to Last, Built for Learning

Our Shelter & Outdoor Classrooms are designed to provide schools, parks and other outdoor spaces with functional, weather-resistant areas that enhance learning, play and social interaction. These versatile structures offer a protected environment where children can engage in outdoor education, group activities or simply enjoy a break from the elements.

Crafted from durable materials and high-quality timber, our shelters are built to withstand the rigours of daily outdoor use while blending naturally into their surroundings. Each structure is made to order and tailored to your site, ensuring the right fit for your needs.

Built In-House, Tailored to You

As experienced play equipment designers and installers based in Kent, we specialise in creating custom-built shelters and outdoor classrooms for schools and educational settings. Because we handle everything in-house – from design and build to installation – we can adapt our structures to suit any space, size or purpose.

Whether you have a compact playground, a larger open field or a dedicated outdoor learning zone, we can work with you to create a structure that fits perfectly. Perhaps you need shelter for outdoor lessons, a reading den to spark imaginations or a quiet space for group discussions and mindfulness. Whatever your needs, we’re here to help make it happen.
