Cathy Poots - Seagoe PS

To meet the needs of our children, we had come up with the idea of having some sort of sensory area in the main corridor and had browsed various online sites to look for ideas. We realised that this was too big a job to do ourselves and, as we have worked with MessyPlay NI before, we reached out to see if this was something they could help with. At our initial meeting with Gillian, we had a vague idea of what we wanted but were very much in need of guidance as to what would work in the space available. We were delighted with Paul's design - it far exceeded what we had envisaged ourselves. Paul was very happy to add extra ideas into his original plan and we were particularly pleased with how unique it was to our school. Within a few weeks the team were here for installation which was done in one afternoon when the children had gone home. We are delighted with how the sensory corridor has turned out and it has had a huge impact on our pupils already. It is used by whole classes, small groups and individual pupils - and staff and pupils love it. The team from MessyPlay NI are a pleasure to work with and the whole process from start to finish was stress free and completed in a matter of weeks.

Chris Geoghegan - Greenwood House Assessment Centre

From the initial contact to the finished products and installation the team at Messy Play NI couldn't have done enough for the pupils at Greenwood House Assessment Centre. They have totally transformed our outdoor learning environments for the better. We were working within a tight budget and short time frame but nothing was too much trouble for the team.
When Paul & Gillian came out initially and were given the brief we were blown away by the plans that they sent through. They had really thought about the pupils abilities and needs within our school and planned an environment that provided fun, stimulating and engaging areas for our pupils.
When it came to delivery of the products they were very flexible to fit in around our busy school and were very popular with the pupils, who watched them work with interest. This wasn't an issue at all to them and they took time to speak and engage with the pupils. The quality of the products was far superior to anything we have ordered from catalogues previously. It was no trouble at all for the team to make adaptations for our pupils.
Parents and staff couldn't believe the difference in our outdoor environments and the joy and excitement it has brought to our children has been amazing to watch. We have even received messages from parents to say the children are talking about the equipment at home!
It was an absolute pleasure working with the Messy Play NI team and we couldn't recommend them highly enough! We are so thankful for the skill and dedication they brought to transforming our outdoor areas and are looking forward to watching the children grow and develop in this amazing space.
We look forward to working with Messy Play NI in the future as this company is incredible!
Thanks
Chris
