Early Years Picnic Bench for Outdoor Use
The Middlewich Picnic Unit is suitable for children aged 2–4 years and is proportioned accordingly to support correct posture and ease of access. As an outdoor picnic bench designed for frequent daily use, it provides a stable seating solution that stands up to the demands of busy childcare settings.
Often specified as a commercial picnic bench for education environments, it offers the visual familiarity of a timber picnic bench while delivering significantly improved durability and reduced maintenance.
Recycled Plastic Construction
Manufactured from 100 percent HDPE recycled plastic, the Middlewich Picnic Unit removes many of the risks associated with timber seating in early years settings.
Material benefits include:
• Will not rot, corrode, or splinter
• Fully weatherproof and suitable for year-round outdoor use
• Smooth, easy-clean surfaces for improved hygiene
• No staining, painting, or ongoing maintenance required
This makes the unit a practical and reliable alternative to a timber picnic bench, particularly in environments where safety and cleanliness are essential.
Sustainability and Environmental Value
Each Middlewich Picnic Unit diverts approximately 1,058 milk containers from landfill. This provides a clear sustainability benefit and can be used as a simple educational talking point for introducing young children to recycling and environmental responsibility.
Installation and Use in Nursery Settings
The Middlewich Picnic Unit is designed for straightforward installation within secure outdoor areas. Its solid construction ensures stability during use, while the low-maintenance material allows staff to focus on supervision rather than upkeep.
It is often installed alongside other early years outdoor furniture or play equipment to create cohesive, child-friendly external learning spaces.
Typical Applications
The Middlewich Picnic Unit is commonly specified for:
• Nurseries and pre-schools
• Early years outdoor classrooms
