Why Us
Unique and engaging playground design and children's learning areas for schools and nurseries
Imagination is at the heart of everything we do at Red Monkey. We don’t just design and install children’s playground equipment. With our inspirational playground design we create unique and engaging learning experiences for schools and nurseries all over the UK.
Red Monkey’s highly skilled team have over 20 years of experience in the play equipment sector and playground design. Throughout this time, we’ve had the pleasure of crafting tens of thousands of pieces of playground equipment and we also supply into leading educational catalogues including ESPO, Findel, TTS and YPO.
All of our beautiful wooden playground equipment is made by hand in our Leicestershire workshop, using pre-treated and high-quality, low-maintenance play-grade timber from sustainable sources.
We focus on outstanding playground design which incorporates designing learning areas for schools and nurseries linked to EYFS and the National Curriculum that deliver results in improving children's skills and results, our learning areas have played a key part in delivering improved OFSTED ratings.
Our installations have featured on the BBC and ITV!

I am responsible for developing the vision of Red Monkey and implementing strategic actions in order to deliver innovative, exciting and high quality services and products.
Seeing the satisfaction, excitement and joy in the children who learn from and play with the products that we design, develop and deliver into an educational environment is very fulfilling. It is also great to work with such a positive and committed team of people.Meet Simon, our Managing Director

I create 3D renders and images of the playgrounds that we create for schools and nurseries across the UK. This way, we can plan and develop how a certain design will appear.
I really enjoy seeing how my designs come to life, turning them from just an image on a computer screen to a finished product that children can enjoy.Meet Jake, our Designer

I make sure all our finished products are dispatched to the customer on time and in a good condition. I also organise goods in and out, and keep stock of all items needed for dispatch, like boxes, tape and tubs.
I love that every day is different here at Red Monkey. No two projects are alike and you never know what the next day will bring.Meet Alan, our Dispatch Operative
