We believe every child deserves an outdoor environment that inspires movement, exploration, imagination and a lifelong connection with nature. For more than 35 years, Urban Landscape Projects has designed and built complete outdoor environments for childcare and early learning centres, creating purposeful spaces that enrich children’s learning and wellbeing, support educators and bring each centre’s philosophy and identity to life.

For childcare operators, a successful outdoor environment must be inspiring for children and practical to operate. It must support safe supervision, meet compliance requirements, withstand daily use and be delivered with control over cost, timing and disruption. By bringing childcare landscape design, planning, compliance, project management and construction together within one experienced team, we make exceptional early learning environments easier and more dependable to deliver - from centre renovations and playground upgrades to new developments and multi-centre rollouts.

Three delivery pathways to choose from.
