Hyland Q2 climbing frame and mats with installation
In August 2022, Active Garden Limited provided and installed a climbing frame and slide unit for us. From beginning to end the process was made easy by the excellent communication we received from the company. Throughout the process, the company worked well with teaching staff, office staff and grounds staff as the project came together.
During the planning stage, every question we asked was answered very promptly and in depth and when we asked for their guidance regarding health and safety etc they were able to give us expert advice.
Installation was very quick and efficient and on an agreed date we were very happy with. The team that installed our unit were exemplary, working quickly and checking the equipment thoroughly before signing it over to us. They were able to work within timing constraints we had too. The site was kept tidy throughout and was left in a good state, ready for the children to use.
I highly recommend working with this company and would not hesitate to contact them in the future when we will be developing our garden further.
Best wishes,
Sarah Sherlock ,Teacher
