Freedom for Kids!

Last April, Natural England released research that revealed we are raising a generation of ‘cotton wool kids’ with fewer than 10% playing in woodlands, countryside and parks. 

The same survey claimed that nature based activities such as pond dipping, climbing trees and playing conkers are enjoyed by children – that is when they are allowed to participate - and a whopping 81% of children wanted more freedom to play outdoors. 


 Given that 85% of adults agreed that they would like their children to play outside more often – with concerns relating to road safety and stranger danger holding them back, it seems the most sensible solution is to create a safe and secure outdoor play area within the confines of your property’s outside space.  An appealing play area for children need not be at the expense of a stylish outdoor room but a well thought out garden design is a must to help you achieve that all important balance to maintain good family relations!
