New Centre Fit Outs

KidsZone Stratford, Taranaki


Owners Tania Shaw and Toni Widdowson came to Play’n’Learn looking for a bespoke fitout solution for their new early learning centre in Stratford. Having worked with the Play’n’Learn design team on their existing centre in New Plymouth, Play’n’Learn were the perfect partner.

This exceptional project includes a feature wall with a giant image of Taranaki Maunga, and a custom social-play house delivered to the owners specifications, on time and on budget.

One of the unique aspects of KidsZone Stratford is it’s very natural, quality feel, thanks to the plywood interior walls. This gave the Play’n’Learn team a great opportunity to develop custom furniture, as well a tailor some existing ranges to best compliment the natural atmosphere.

Overall, the project has been an amazing success with the KidsZone Stratford location being an obvious destination for the highest-quality, child-centric education and care.
