SPROUTS for Childcare

Sprouts, let your play space grow

SPROUTS for Childcare

Small projects. Big impact.

SPROUTS makes it easy to improve a childcare outdoor environment without taking on a complete playground renovation.

Choose from a curated collection of pre-designed play, landscape and activity environments created specifically for early learning settings. Each has been designed and resolved by ULP, giving centres a simple way to introduce new experiences, activate an underused area or make a targeted improvement to the yard.

The design thinking is already done. We help you choose what fits.

Ready to grow your outdoor space

SPROUTS is designed for centres that know what needs improving and want a clear, straightforward pathway to getting it done.

Rather than beginning with an open-ended design process, we assess the site, understand what you want to achieve and recommend an appropriate SPROUTS solution.

With the environment already designed and costed around defined assumptions, decisions are easier and projects can move to delivery sooner.

Designed for learning, play and development

SPROUTS is more than a collection of playground equipment.

Each environment has been designed to introduce meaningful opportunities for children to move, explore, imagine, discover and connect with others.

Depending on the selected environment, this might include physical challenge, sensory exploration, imaginative play, nature, social interaction or quieter forms of play.

The result is a small intervention capable of making a meaningful difference to the way children experience the yard.

Start with one. Grow over time.

SPROUTS can work as a standalone improvement or become part of a longer-term plan for the outdoor environment.

That gives centres the flexibility to address an immediate priority now and continue improving the yard over time.

Is SPROUTS right for your centre?

SPROUTS is designed for smaller, targeted improvements where the need is already reasonably clear.

If your centre needs a broader renovation involving multiple parts of the outdoor environment, Playform for Childcare is likely to be the better pathway.
