Construction Play

Construction play - it's time to build!

Construction play is all about shaping, building, and manipulating objects to create new and exciting structures. It’s creates learning opportunities for children of all ages. 

It’s particularly beneficial for early years because they learn to work towards a goal individually and as a group. Construction play allows them to explore their imagination and execute it in the real world. 

Early years begin to build important skills in the following areas: 

Maths - Construction play offers an opportunity for young children to explore shapes, sizes, symmetry, and counting. 

Creativity - Designing and executing their ideas in real life. Also, your little ones learn to explore a variety of materials and properties.  

Science - Young children begin to understand the concept of cause and effect, balance, and gravity in action. 

Language - Parents and teachers can use complex language when speaking about construction play, using terms such as scaffold, dimensions, measurements, and reinforcing. 

Self-esteem - Early years children will naturally start to build their confidence as they build and play because they’re able to control their environment. 

Teamwork - As children talk about their ideas and build together, they learn the important skill of cooperation. They will begin to practice basic negotiation amongst their peers. 

Powerful stuff right! The simplicity of building using a few blocks goes a long way. 

Give construction play ago today - we promise your little ones will love it!

Our outdoor reception area has now been transformed. Neil and his team have provided the school with a first-class service from beginning to end. From the initial meeting where he patiently listened to my vision for our children and then creatively put that vision into a design. Our vision for our youngest children has now become reality

“Can I just express my thanks and gratitude to you and your team for making our area a welcoming and accessible one now. It looks fantastic and I am just delighted with it. They have made an unused dark and damp area into a lovely and welcoming area for the children to play in. Many, many thanks

On behalf of the pupils and staff at St Andrew’s, I would just like to say what a superb job your team have done with our Amphitheatre. They have been extremely pleasant, obliging, tidy – even in the rain on Monday! A great job - thanks very much

Once again you have done an amazing job on our outside area. We have used you in the past, now in the present - I'm sure we'll use you in the future!

Thank you for our Mud Kitchen and Sandpit. It is excellent quality and the service you provided was superb. It was lovely to meet you all at the Lincolnshire show and listen to you talk about the amazing work you do for local schools and nurseries. You are all very passionate at what you are selling and we would be happy to buy from you again in the future. Thanks again

Just wanted to drop you a note to say a big thank you for the recent works completed at our school. The new ‘quiet’ area looks amazing. Our gardening club have already filled the planters and the children are enjoying the seating and the stage. We had an outdoor assembly to ‘formally’ open the area including a ribbon cutting ceremony

Springwood Nursery

Now the outdoor redevelopment is complete, I wanted to say the biggest THANK YOU to you and your amazing team. The moment you visited Springwood last summer and gave me your initial thoughts, I was confident Newby was the right fit. From the initial plans through to completion it has been an absolute pleasure collaborating with you, Meg and your dedicated construction/landscaping team. In all the years I have owned the nursery I have never met contractors like yours; they were polite, professional, invested and considerate at every step of the way, nothing was too much trouble, they were all outstanding in how they anticipated the needs of the nursery and responded instinctively. Your team is special and I am sure you must feel immensely proud of them, we were incredibly sad to see them go. The outdoor area has exceeded my expectations in every way and I now look forward to seeing our children enjoy all that you have created. Best wishes Sarah

Oh my goodness, we are all beyond delighted with our new playground! It goes beyond our expectations and the children are already thriving in it. Everything – from the initial enquiry, site visits, the build, design and after care has been exceptional and we would happily recommend Newby Leisure to anyone thinking of having a playground redesign. Our site manager was impressed by the team carrying out the works and it was done with no trouble or worry to us whatsoever. Thank you also for taking our slide! We are so utterly impressed beyond words with it all and would like to thank all at Newby Leisure. Thank you SO much!

Just a quick one to say a massive THANK YOU! The lads have done an absolutely fantastic job with the outdoor area. Really struggling to put into words just how amazing the area is. Can't wait to be able to open it up for the children to access it all in all of its glory! It really is going to be a showcase piece and has to put us up there as having one of the best outdoor areas for EYFS in the country. Once again thank you!

Newby Leisure are and will always be our preferred suppliers. You tick all the boxes for us. The quality of materials, the workmanship and the first class team are just the ticket. With us there’s a project every year if we can afford it. The sketches always help us visualise the end result, but Newby Leisure have never failed to make the end project look so much better than the sketch.
