Great play spaces start with the right questions.

Designing a successful play environment takes more than a great idea. It requires a clear understanding of your space, your audience, your ambitions and how the finished environment needs to perform.

At Tigerplay, we bring creative thinking and engineering expertise together to turn those requirements into thoughtfully designed, bespoke play spaces that look exceptional and deliver lasting play value.

Our latest article explores 5 key questions to ask when planning a play space — helping you think beyond the initial concept and make informed decisions from the outset.

Whether you're developing a new commercial play venue or reimagining an existing space, it's a great place to start.

We are pleased to share the three exciting new play spaces we created for Old MacDonald’s Day Nursery in Bourne End, designed to inspire little imaginations while working hard for a busy nursery environment.

From imaginative role-play shops and a characterful red tractor 🚜 to climbing, movement, creativity and quieter exploration, every space has been thoughtfully designed around how children play, learn and discover.

With natural timber elements, playful farmyard details and bespoke indoor soft play equipment, the result is a warm, versatile environment made for everyday adventure.

What does it really mean to design an inclusive play centre? 🧩

Creating a play space that works for all children takes more than physical accessibility. Sensory needs, colour, movement, flexibility and the overall purpose of the space all play an important role.

In our latest article, neurodiversity author and speaker Pete Wharmby shares 5 key things to consider when planning an inclusive play centre; from sensory accessibility to creating flexible environments that can adapt to different children's needs.

We’re delighted to share this recent installation for Honeypot Nursery in Liverpool, where we created a bespoke play environment designed to encourage imagination, movement and exploration, all while bringing the nursery’s distinctive brand into the space.

At the heart of the design is a striking beehive, surrounded by a miniature village where children can create their own stories and adventures.

The design combines imaginative role play with active play, alongside thoughtful details such as bespoke honeycomb wall padding in the baby area.

We think inclusive play design needs to move beyond the idea of a “one-size-fits-all” sensory room.

Every child experiences sensory input differently, and their needs can change throughout the day.

Sometimes they may need a quiet, calming space to decompress and regulate.

At other times, they may need movement, exploration and sensory stimulation.

That’s why thoughtful SEND sensory design is about more than simply creating a “sensory room”. A thoughtfully designed environment can support different needs at different times.

And importantly, sensory design doesn't have to stop at the sensory room. Corridors, transition spaces and wider environments can all play a role.

We’ve explored how to create spaces that support calm, regulation, exploration and sensory seeking in our latest article.

'Tigersense' is our design approach that ensures our play spaces are inclusive and perfectly tailored to the young people who use them.

We build on a strong foundation: the specific needs of the children, the context of their wider surroundings, and the latest concepts and ideas from the scientific community around pedagogy, education and neurodiversity.

Couple this with our attention to detail, commitment to innovation and sustainable materials and the result is rooms and equipment that are beautiful, inspirational and practical centrepieces to any setting.

Step inside Little Louma…

We recently delivered this sophisticated play space for Louma Country Hotel

This dedicated hotel playroom combines active soft play, imaginative role play and arts and crafts. Every element was designed to maximise play value while complementing the hotel’s refined interiors.

This is a play space that supports family stays, encourages longer visits, and becomes part of what visitors remember most about their stay.
