Playground Markings in Cambridge
Yes, Uniplay installs playground markings throughout Cambridge and across Cambridgeshire, from city primaries to the fast-growing villages north of the city. Cambridge is a busy education hub with a strong mix of academies, private day nurseries and new-build schools serving expanding settlements like Cottenham, Histon and the towns towards St Neots, so schemes here run from tidy zoning of a compact yard to full markings for a brand-new playground. Schools choose us because the design and survey cost nothing and most installs finish in a single day.

Playground markings in Cambridge
Local markings, designed around your site
Cambridge and its ring of growing villages combine older city-school yards with new-build academies and larger play spaces, so we design both smart zoning for tight tarmac and full schemes for fresh, larger playgrounds.
Do you install playground markings across Cambridge and Cambridgeshire?
We cover Cambridge and the wider Cambridgeshire area as standard. That includes the city districts such as Cherry Hinton, the villages of Cottenham and Histon, the cathedral city of Ely, and the market towns of Huntingdon and St Neots. Cambridgeshire has seen a lot of new housing and new schools in recent years, so we are used to fitting out fresh playgrounds as well as refreshing established ones, and we keep our visits efficient across the county to book you a quick, single-day install.
What playground markings suit new-build schools around Cambridge?
New-build schools usually have larger, well-surfaced playgrounds, which gives real scope for a complete markings scheme from day one. Around the growing villages north and west of Cambridge we often design a full layout in one go: an educational zone with a number grid and world map, a sports area with a MUGA or netball court, an active daily-mile track around the edge, and imaginative graphics like a mini roadway for road-safety play. Planning it as one scheme means the zones flow and the whole yard earns its keep.
How much do playground markings cost in Cambridge?
Projects range from a single graphic to a whole-playground scheme, so the cost tracks the work. As a guide, individual markings start from around £50 to £300, and a typical primary-school package is often in the low thousands, but the figure depends on the number of designs, the area, thermoplastic versus paint, the surface and access. We provide a free design and a fixed quote before any Cambridge school commits, so you see the full cost clearly before we start.
Can you support the curriculum with educational markings?
Educational playground markings turn the yard into a teaching space for maths, literacy and PE. Cambridge schools often ask for number grids from 1 to 100, alphabet snakes, times tables, compass points, a clock and world maps, all of which let staff take lessons outdoors and let pupils practise through active play. We design each graphic to be clear, bright and correctly proportioned for the age group, and we can match a scheme to the topics you teach. You know your curriculum, and we know how to lay it into a playground so it lasts.
Do you work with academies and multi-academy trusts?
We regularly work with academies and multi-academy trusts across the Cambridge area, which is a strong academy region. For a trust running several schools we can quote and install consistently site by site, so playgrounds share a coherent standard while still fitting each yard. Whether it is one school or a rolling programme across a MAT, the process is the same: a free survey and design at each site, then a fixed quote and a fast, tidy install.

Playground markings in Cambridge: your questions
How much do playground markings cost in Cambridge?
Individual markings typically start from around £50 to £300, and a full primary-school package is often in the low thousands, though the real figure depends on the number of designs, the area, thermoplastic versus paint, the surface and access. Every Cambridge school gets a free design and a fixed quote before any work is booked.
How long does installation take?
Most Cambridge playground marking installs are completed in a single day, with larger whole-playground schemes sometimes taking a little longer. We plan around your timetable to keep disruption low, and thermoplastic needs only a short cure before the playground can be used.
Do you cover Bedford, Peterborough and Newmarket?
Yes. Alongside Cambridge we install across Cambridgeshire and into the neighbouring areas, including Bedford, Peterborough and Newmarket, as well as towns like Ely, Huntingdon and St Neots. If your school sits in or around the county, we can reach you.
Which schools and settings do you work with?
We work with primary, infant and junior schools, nurseries and EYFS settings, SEND and special schools, academies and multi-academy trusts, and local councils for their parks and play areas throughout the Cambridge area. Each scheme is designed for the setting and the age of the pupils.
