Clermont Daycare Centre
Firstly, we can not recommend Kym and Carol highly enough for any level of playground renovation or installation you may be doing. The experience and passion that Kym and Carol bring to a project means that they have the ability and drive to design and build their own play equipment and mould your environment into one that dreams are made of.
Recently we have used the Nature Inspired team to upgrade our Nursery, Toddler and Kindy Playgrounds and have been delighted with the both the process and the results. These new areas provide space, materials, equipment in a way that allows for non-intrusive adult supervision. They provide our children with freedom of choice, opportunity to explore, experiment, co-operate and manipulate materials, as well as providing scope for imagination and creativity. In our new playgrounds the children can operate in their own time and at their own pace, and experience the sheer joy of playing in freedom. They are by their very nature, places where children can be themselves.
We believe that a "Nature Inspired" playground is a self-discovery site of long-term value and that the concept and the reality are both worth investing in.
Thank you Kim, Carol, Grant, Chris and Sara. We look forward to working with you in the future.
Ipswich Kindergarten November 2015
The staff, committee and families at Ipswich Kindy were keen to ensure an upgrade to our playground would support the children’s engagement and appreciation of the natural environment and enhance our park like setting and surroundings. This was a major project for our centre and we were extremely pleased with our decision to engage “Nature Inspired Playgrounds”.
Kym, Carol and Grant shared the vision for our playground and expertly transformed and enhanced our ‘mixed pot of ideas’ to create a wonderful natural learning space, which has fostered the children’s sense of exploration and discovery while encouraging their connection with nature.
Kym, Carol and Grant were extremely knowledgeable and professional throughout the whole process and their ongoing consultation and communication with us was very reassuring. This constant collaboration ensured we had a space that suited our particular needs and environment.
Being able to observe the transformation, along with Kym, Carol and Grant’s patience and willingness to answer the children’s endless questions, only added to the children’s excitement and sense of ownership of the project as they explained what was happening to anyone visiting the centre. It was a truly positive experience for us all!
Thankyou Kym, Carol and Grant, we are delighted with the result.
