Play to Measure craft inspired spaces for schools, communities and homes. From outdoor classrooms and playgrounds to indoor quiet spaces and sensory gardens, we transform school spaces into educational, fun hubs for learning, exploring and creativity. Our products include gazebos, outdoor classrooms, treehouses, playhouses, sand pits, mud kitchens, playground surfacing and much more! We are also SEND specialists who work closely with young people to create spaces that not only enhance their experiences but that they directly design. We set up design sessions before we begin building and discuss with young people what it is they’d like to have included. We then take their ideas and bring them to life through creative carpentry and our playground expertise.

Play to Measure also offer bespoke services to transform gardens into fun, entertainment areas for the whole family. For the adults we craft pagoda and roofed bars, decking, fencing, custom wooden signs, sheds and shelters. For the kids, we build treehouses, mud kitchens, sand pits, climbing frames, play equipment, playhouses and sensory walls. All of our services are unique and will be crafted to your specific needs. We are flexible with our products and can offer options not listed, so please get in touch and we can discuss what you’re looking for.

We are based in Sheffield and cover the Midlands and Yorkshire, including Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Shropshire and surrounding areas. We will consider work further afield, so please still get in touch for a free consultation and we can discuss your project. Below is our gallery of previous projects both in schools and in home settings.

  • Priory Park Community School

    “After opening our school in January 2022 we always dreamt of transforming our overgrown garden at the rear of the school into a purposeful learning and recreational space for our young people. We invited Play to Measure into school to listen to the ideas of our School Council, and we immediately knew they were the guys for the job! They listened carefully to our requirements but then added another level of creativity and fresh ideas to the brief. They then presented the drawings back to our School Council, making amendments as required and keeping the young people involved in every stage of the design. Play to Measure were able to split the build down into three phases to meet our budget constraints and other requirements. During the build we were kept fully informed of all the construction stages and Play to Measure’s detail towards health and safety reassured us that our young people would be safe and school life could continue as normal throughout the transformation. Where it was safe to do so, Play to Measure involved our young people in the build process, sharing valuable construction skills with patience and understanding. We are all so happy and proud of the finished project! Everything has been completed with a great deal of skill and attention to detail. We cannot recommend Play to Measure enough to transform the indoor or outdoor learning spaces for any school, and we look forward to continuing this partnership for many years to come!”

  • Wollescote Primary School

    “Play to Measure offered a creative solution to our requirements for Forest School at Wollescote Primary. The team worked tirelessly to create a beautiful yet practical environment in our new forest school site and developed playful links to our old forest school site. Through regular communication and creative thinking, the space has developed organically into a fantastic child focused area for outdoor learning. I would highly recommend them.”

    Adam Edwards, Site Manager at Wollescote Primary School (Stourbridge)

  • Penn Fields School

    “From the initial meeting it was clear that Keith’s creative vision was something that the students at Penn Fields School would really benefit from. The enthusiasm, craftsmanship and attention to detail have been superb. Play to Measure have been so accommodating, fully engaging with students and staff to bring their vision into reality. Keith and the team have transformed our woodland area into a truly magical space where our students can explore and play in a safe environment.”

    Mary Evans, School Business Manager

  • Pen Meadow School

    “Working with Play to Measure has been a really positive experience for Pens Meadow. The students and staff have been fully involved in the design and build itself where possible. The Play to Measure team are more than creative, they are ingenious, in designing challenging, adventurous, safe environments that have enhanced the provision we can offer our pupils in our Forest School beyond our expectations. I would recommend Play to Measure without hesitation.”

    Marie Hunter, Headteacher at Pens Meadow School
