Newby Leisure Limited was first founded by one half of director team, Neil Newby. Neil’s vision for the company grew from observations of limited play spaces to aid child growth and social engagement. His idea was to make play areas more fun and fulfilling with a goal of nurturing and developing outdoor education.

The scale of the task wasn’t going to be easy so his brother and other half of the director team, Alastair Newby joined Neil to form the business. Sharing Neil’s vision and passion for play, Alastair allowed the business to scale.

Now with over 18-years of experience developing and designing play schemes the business has grown into one of the leading play scheme providers in the UK. The uniqueness of Newby Leisure Limited play areas has been so successful it has caught the eye of European schools too, creating natural play areas for schools in Spain.

Back home in England, Newby Leisure have installed and created 1000’s of exciting and engaging play schemes over the years. From its early beginnings as a family start-up, the family ethos now runs throughout Newby Leisure. In recent years, Neil and Alastair have been joined by sons, nephew’s and partners to work with them day by day to deliver the best quality play areas in the UK today.

With a keen eye for detail and love for education, “Together, we’re better”.

• Unbeatable quality at a fair price

"Unbeatable quality at a fair price. As a nursery setting I'm finding more and more equipment isn't being built to last. If you want high quality playgrounds/equipment that will last a long time then Newby Leisure is the place to go!"

• Local business supporting a local community

"Definitely recommend Newby Leisure for all your play equipment requirements. The service from initial enquiry to completion and handover was fantastic. The team kept me informed at all stages, helped with design suggestions to fit with our grant funded budget, and were a pleasure to have on site. The install team were efficient, tidy and worked with us when we altered our project plan slightly. We would definitely work with Newby Leisure again in the future. Thank you all."

• Excellent outdoor items

"Our outdoor EYFS area has many Newby Leisure items and the children adore them. They are robust, good quality and well designed. Any issues and questions are promptly addressed by the team who deliver amazing customer services. We have a mini bug hotel, mud kitchen, water chutes, balance scales, partition play centre, play lodges and story telling chairs. Together, they make a wonderful outdoor area for the children to explore and play in. I highly recommend Newby Leisure to everyone!"

• Newby Leisure were amazing

"Newby Leisure were amazing. The design was just what we wanted and they came and installed it (even though the weather was terrible) to a great standard. No issues, no problems, and just were easy to have on site. Have used them before in other schools and would highly recommend."

• Broadacre Forest School

"First of all, the communication is first class from Newby. They were proactive in ensuring that they were matching the brief and were meeting our needs. Any feedback we gave re the project were acted upon immediately.
Secondly, the quality of the product is of the highest standard. The value for money compared to other quotes and projects is the biggest draw.
Finally, all of the people we interacted with through Newby were excellent. From meeting management, talking to the Sales Team and engaging with the contractors, everybody left me with the feeling that we were dealing with absolute professionals."

• Amazing!

"Newby Leisure are without doubt the best company we have ever worked with at nursery. The process from start to finish was so simple, and we are thrilled with the results of our new outdoor space. Everyone we encountered at the company were professional, friendly and knowledgeable. They took our vision for the space and created something truly magical, far exceeding our expectations. We must give a special mention to Caine and the team who undertook the actual works at the nursery, they were phenomenal and really are a credit to the company. I am sure we will be in touch again about future projects!"

• Gold star service!

"Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish from Newby Leisure. They have recently installed a fabulous new EYFS outdoor area at our school. Couldn't fault the lads who worked so hard every single day and the communication and support from Newby. 5* service."

• Magical Transformation

"Our early years area has been magically transformed by Newby Leisure. All aspects from the design to pre-start, to install and final fitting were professionally managed with the input of the school and the needs of the children carefully considered. The equipment is well built, installed to a high standard and perfect for the age of our children. A big thank you to George and Megan for making such an exciting, fun, challenging and interactive playground."

• Outstanding service

"I cannot praise the Newby Leisure team enough. At every point of the process, they demonstrated professionalism, efficiency and reliability. Communication was excellent throughout and any stress was taken off school staff. The four members of the team who installed our new EYFS area worked through wind, rain and snow to keep on track with the project and left the surrounding area clean and tidy. I will be contacting Newby Leisure again to quote for future projects and would highly recommend them."

• Simply the best

"From the onset our experience of Newby Leisure was fantastic. The process from design through to completion was well planned, communicated effectively and implemented perfectly by their incredible ground team. The finished outdoor area exceeded my expectations and the team were a pleasure to work with. I would always recommend Newby for either outdoor equipment or a full garden refurb."
