Loose Parts Resources

Let's Get Creative

We’re specialists in creative Loose Parts Play, having delivered kits and training to over 90 schools and nurseries across Cumbria.

Our play packages spark imaginative play and creative problem-solving – perfect for playgrounds or continuous provision. Designed and tested by teachers they offer great value for money while supporting local community projects and reducing waste.

What makes our kits truly unique is their sustainability and social impact. Each trolley is built by volunteers with learning difficulties through our ReMake scheme, offering valuable skills and purposeful work. The kits are made from reclaimed pallet wood and all the resources inside are clean, repurposed materials diverted from landfill – carefully prepared and ready for safe, inspiring play.

Top Up And Tidy Service

We also offer a Top Up & Tidy service, which includes three visits per year. During each visit, we tidy, repair, and replenish your stock, and add a few new and exciting items to keep children engaged. This helps extend the life of your resources and ensures your kit stays in top condition. This service is included for the first year of your trolley.

Price: £595 per year

The children have played (worked!) collaboratively across ages and groups. It's been lovely to have something which naturally encourages creativity and team work
