When it comes to creating safe, fun, and long-lasting play spaces, the right playground surfacing makes all the difference. At Everyday Play, we’ve helped transform outdoor areas for schools and nurseries across Kent and the South East – using a range of surfacing solutions tailored to each setting’s unique needs.
From soft, durable wetpour to natural-looking grass matting and versatile artificial grass, our projects show how smart surfacing choices can completely refresh and revitalise a playground. Here’s a look at some real examples of our work, and how each surfacing type can support active, imaginative play.
Grass Matting: Blending Safety with a Natural Look
Some schools want to keep a natural grass feel – without sacrificing safety. That’s where grass matting is ideal. It protects children from falls while allowing real grass to grow through, maintaining a green, natural appearance.
Example: Downsell Primary School
We installed grass matting at Downsell Primary to keep the natural grass feel. It’s a cost-effective, low-maintenance option – perfect for schools that want a more subtle surfacing solution that’s still compliant with safety standards.
Artificial Grass: Clean, All-Year Outdoor Play
Artificial grass is one of the most popular choices for nurseries and primary schools. It’s clean, mud-free, and usable all year round – ideal for younger children.
Example: Snodland Primary School
At Snodland, we replaced worn-out surfaces with fresh artificial grass to create a safer, more inviting play space. It looks great and withstands heavy daily use, giving staff peace of mind and children a consistent place to play, whatever the weather.
Wetpour: Colourful, Creative & Cushioned
If you’re looking for a bright, safe, and long-lasting option, wetpour rubber surfacing is a top choice. It’s ideal for EYFS areas and playgrounds where impact protection is key — and it allows for fun colours, shapes, and designs.
Example: Little Pumpkins Nursery
We installed soft, colourful wetpour at Little Pumpkins Nursery to create an engaging, cushioned surface for toddlers. It’s perfect for early years settings where both safety and stimulation matter.
MUGA & Sports Court Resurfacing: Built for Movement
For older pupils and sports-focused spaces, MUGA surfacing (Multi-Use Games Area) or rubber sports coatings provide durability and performance. It supports everything from football to basketball to general PE use.
Example: Sports Court Project
We revitalised a tired sports area with new surfacing that’s built to last — helping schools make the most of their outdoor space for active learning and recreation.
