Want an awesome playground for your preschool? We build creative wonder-scapes!
NatureFlow has been offering a complete Design, Landscaping, and Outdoor Construction service to schools, early learning centres and preschools in Christchurch and Canterbury for many years, with some amazing results!
As playground specialists our bespoke designs will bring a beautiful sense of play and harmony to your outdoor space. With a particular interest in nature play we create true works of art that are built to last, using macrocarpa and other hardwoods.
We aim to create a wide variety of spaces that nurture children in different ways. Offering many opportunities to explore, discover, learn and be creative. A playground should ignite the child’s imagination, inspire fun and play. Natureflow playspaces foster positive interactions with people and nature.
Together with Woodland Escape we develop designs that make efficient use of spaces to reflect the individual needs of each early childhood centre we work with and their unique tamariki and whanau. Woodland Escape designs often maximise high value play opportunities for tamariki, and link them to the natural world, while carefully considering available budgets.
Sometimes simple interventions done well can provide amazing outcomes for kids. Our designs are a beautiful blend of natural and rustic – organic and clean lines – curved shapes – organised yet unconventional.
