Special Needs Outdoor Playground Equipment
Our dedicated products team have consulted with SEN experts, teachers and children to design and perfect a fantastic selection of SEN Playground Equipment. With the intention to help children with special educational needs feel comfortable during a school day, the feedback from the children themselves has been invaluable!
As many children find free-flow, open-ended, physical play activities therapeutic, we have designed a brilliant range of playground equipment to provide children with regulatory, heavy work activities and breakout spaces in their playground.
Promoting self-regulation and providing therapeutic activities in the playground is important for any school catering towards children with SEN as they begin to understand how and when to calm themselves, recognising when they are becoming frustrated, overwhelmed or unfocused, children are able refocus themselves and become centred and ready for learning.
Designed with inclusivity in mind, our outdoor play equipment enables children of different abilities and ages to play and learn together, encouraging cooperation and socialisation in the playground.
Our expert SEN playground consultants are enthusiastic and dedicated to helping your transform your outdoor space to benefit your children. Working in collaboration with you and your children, they can help design and install an area that will improve children’s behavioural traits, emotional feelings, memory, sensory processing, communication, imagination, social interaction and sustained concentration.
Pentagon Play’s playground equipment for children with special educational needs is unlike anything else currently offered on the market and we are dedicated to continuously expanding the range and adapting our products to ensure they can be fully utilised by your children, no matter their ability. We love receiving feedback on our products and designs to help shape and perfect our range!

The team worked very hard and have been very professional! They were very polite and worked very well with our site manager!
Heidi Faulkner, Ocker Hill Infant School
From the initial meeting with Rachel to discuss potential plans, and her subsequent visits to make sure our projects were exactly what we needed, we felt fully supported. Rachel had some lovely ideas which have worked out really well and the children and staff love them. What was an unused bit of the field has become a well-used all weather football pitch, and what was a muddy seating area has become an all-weather area with lovely benches and a super gazebo which can be used for somewhere quiet to sit, or an outdoor classroom... during the first few weeks of the autumn term it was also used as a meeting room on one occasion, versatility at its best! The installation was trouble free and we had constant communication from both the contractors on site and the wider team at Pentagon. I would thoroughly recommend them.
Tina Button – The Wyvern School, Kent
We are quite an outdoorsy school with extensive grounds and even in non-covid times, we wanted a facility where children can be outside in all weathers whether that’s at lunchtimes, to read, use as a library or as an intervention space. We also wanted somewhere where we could literally bring the children’s learning outdoors as we have a pond, an allotment and this seemed like a natural next step where children could go and do their work afterwards. With the addition of the benches, it also makes it feel like a real outdoor classroom and is multi-use which we are really happy with.

Thank you for stepping in when we were let down by another company.
Caz Earley - Gillingham Primary School, Dorset
Great work from Chris amd his gang. Would have them back, they were professional and polite!
Maria Carlton - Bewley Primary School, Stockton-on-Tees
Our new mud kitchen has really enhanced the children’s learning. They are developing their motor skills, creative thinking, investigative skills and understanding of mathematical concepts. The children chatter endlessly whilst they are in the area – asking and answering questions, linking their play to their own experiences and acting out their own story lines. All this whilst playing with mud, glorious, mud!
