ESP PLAY have completed many playgrounds in Sheffield but this has to be up there with one of the best. Ballifield Primary received a recommendation to use ESP PLAY by another school in the area, Rainbow Forge Academy.
The school wanted to invest significantly within their EYFS outdoor play areas. With Nursery and Reception being separate playgrounds, it was especially important to create a playground design that offered progression between the two spaces.
