PlayZone Services

Through this service you can request high quality, customised, long term playzone installations at your premises; temporary play zones, for example during school holidays; and either long term placement (client managed),or recruitment based (agency managed) educators and carers to man your playzones and design your play praogrammes, or; adhoc backup carers to top-up your current onsite children’s playzone at your busiest times.

At SitSnapp we revel in helping clients get clear on their vision inline with statutory requirements and bringing that vision to fruition.
