In the past, they had worked with traditional playground surfacing companies to create their outdoor areas. But some of these companies’ products hadn’t lasted well and the team at Just Kidz felt that the surfaces and designs lacked imagination.

Just Kidz’ Director, Gavin Muldoon, had previously worked with Numat, Creo’s parent company, and felt that the company was the only one who had delivered the level of quality they needed. Given that the Creo team was able to develop the playground designs and Numat provide the key products, Vanessa and Gavin were confident they were heading in the right direction and that Creo and Numat could deliver the playspace they wanted and envisioned.

“We were very impressed with plans drawn up by the design team, Creo. The products were clearly high quality and careful thought and creativity had gone into the project.  We were able to add to the plan and adjust it to suit our preference and the design team easily incorporated our ideas,” says Vanessa.

Due to the project being a new build, Just Kidz wanted the outdoor area to complement the new buildings on the site. These were open, modern and stylish, so it was important that the outdoor areas continued this feel, working with the indoor space to allow for a seamless transition and for full utilisation of the available space.
