Our team was commissioned by a local nursery to extend an existing outdoor patio area to better support daily activities and outdoor learning. The original patio had become too small for the nursery’s needs, limiting its use during group activities and restricting safe movement for both children and staff. The objective of the project was to extend the patio seamlessly, creating a larger, safe, and durable hardstanding that complemented the existing surface. The work needed to be carried out efficiently and with minimal disruption to the nursery’s day-to-day operations.

Extended Usable Space: The increased patio area now provides additional room for outdoor play, seating, and learning activities, allowing the nursery to make better use of their outdoor space. Safe, Durable Surface: The newly installed paving provides a stable, non-slip surface suitable for frequent use in a nursery environment, offering improved safety and ease of maintenance.
