Emerging Trends in CMS

As technology evolves, so do content management systems. In 2023, we see a shift towards headless CMS, which allows for greater flexibility in content delivery. Additionally, AI-driven content management is becoming more prevalent, enabling personalized user experiences. Understanding these trends can help businesses stay competitive in the digital landscape.

Frequently asked questions

Planning a playground project often raises many questions. Here are the ones we hear most often.

How much space do I need for a playground?

There's no universal minimum, but most local planning authorities in England reference Fields in Trust guidelines — typically 0.25 ha of equipped play space per 1,000 population. For schools and smaller sites, we regularly design effective play spaces within 100–500 sqm.

What is the best surfacing for a school playground?

Wetpour rubber is the most widely specified option — durable, low-maintenance and EN 1177 compliant at most fall heights. For tighter budgets, rubber mulch or grass matting can work well depending on equipment and site conditions.

Can you help with funding applications?

Yes. We support schools, councils and community groups with cost estimates, design drawings and written summaries for funding bids — including National Lottery Community Fund, UK Shared Prosperity Fund and Sport England applications.

Do you work with developers and principal contractors?

Yes. We provide design, specification and installation for residential developers across England — including full documentation to support discharge of Section 106 play conditions and programme coordination with principal contractors.

Do you offer supply-only options?

Yes. We can supply equipment to your specification, or provide a complete design, supply and installation service — whichever suits your procurement route and programme.
