In 2024, the senior leadership team at Rushall Primary School reached out to Play Creations Ltd regarding a large softplay project spanning over 4 rooms. The concept was to have a large softplay area, 2 sensory rooms and a movement room. The 2 sensory rooms had different requirements. The first of the rooms was to be a solitary sensory room, designed for 1 child to de-escalate in. The second of the room was designed for 2 children, so would be slightly larger and have enough equipment for both pupils. The project was implemented over the summer holidays during the schools refurbishment, which led to Play Creations Ltd liaising with the main contractors to ensure a smooth softplay install which blended with their school revamp. This happened over the summer holidays to ensure that it didn't interfere with the children's education. In the 250 sq. ft rooms, a bright and bold theme immerses the children in a calm and soothing environment built for de-escalation whilst still prompting interactivity and engagement. These sensory rooms are designed for children aged 4 - 16.

The softplay budget was £20,000 which covered the suply of high quality UK sourced materials, alongside the cost of the design, manufacturing and installation.
