Early-learning play that meets the National Quality Standard
Sensory-rich, age-appropriate play designed to AS 4685.6 — and to the NQS — so your centre's outdoor environment delights families and sails through assessment.
For an early learning service, the outdoor environment isn't an add-on — it's part of your educational program and a key part of your NQS assessment. Under the Education and Care Services National Regulations (Regulation 108), your outdoor space and equipment must be safe, age-appropriate and support children's learning and development. We design play that does all three, and looks the part on every family tour.
Kidzspace builds low-to-ground, sensory-rich play for the under-fives — soft, imaginative and inclusive — certified to AS 4685.6 for early-childhood equipment, with generous fall zones and no entrapment hazards. From boutique long-day-care courtyards to large multi-room centres, we've fitted out services like Beach Road and Harold Wheen with outdoor spaces children (and assessors) love.

Childcare & early learning playground FAQs
Does your equipment meet childcare regulations?
Yes. We design to AS 4685.6 (the early-childhood equipment standard) and to the Education and Care Services National Regulations, including Regulation 108 for outdoor spaces — so your playground supports NQS Quality Area 3.
What play suits 0–5 year olds?
Low, soft, sensory-led play: small climbers and slides, cubbies, sandpits, spring riders, water and sensory panels — all at toddler scale with deep, compliant softfall.
We only have a small courtyard — can you still help?
Absolutely. Compact sites are our speciality. We design layouts that maximise play value per square metre and work around existing trees, shade and buildings.
How long does installation take?
Most centre playgrounds install in a few days. We can work around your operating hours and roster to minimise disruption to children and educators.
