Cygnet Pre-School Wellingborough
When Cygnet Pre-School in Wellingborough approached ARTTRAGrass®, their priority wasn’t just aesthetics.
It was hygiene.
The nursery required an outdoor play surface that was:
- Safe for toddlers
- Soft underfoot
- Clean and mud-free
- Usable in all seasons
- Visually welcoming for parents
Natural grass had become inconsistent, muddy and difficult to maintain — especially during wet weather.
The solution was a purpose-designed artificial grass system tailored for early years environments.
The Challenge: Cleanliness & All Year Round Usability
Nurseries face unique challenges compared to primary schools:
- Younger children play closer to the ground
- Increased hand-to-surface contact
- Higher hygiene expectations from parents
- Limited tolerance for mud and waterlogging
- Daily use regardless of season
Cygnet Pre-School needed a surface that would:
- Eliminate mud transfer indoors
- Provide cushioning and comfort
- Maintain a bright, attractive appearance
- Withstand daily high footfall
The Solution: Soft, Durable Artificial Grass for Early Years
ARTTRAGrass® installed a premium artificial grass system designed specifically for nursery environments.
Installation Highlights
✔ Full ground preparation
✔ Stable sub-base construction
✔ Free-draining system
✔ Child-friendly pile height
✔ Soft yet durable fibre structure
✔ Non-toxic materials
The new surface immediately transformed the outdoor area into a clean, welcoming play environment.
The Results: A Cleaner, Safer Nursery Environment
Following installation, Cygnet Pre-School benefited from:
- No more muddy shoes entering classrooms
- Improved hygiene standards
- All year round outdoor access
- Reduced maintenance time
- Enhanced visual appeal for prospective parents
The artificial grass now provides a consistent, all-weather play area that supports learning, exploration and physical development.
