The footage shows how Snug Play encourages interaction, collaboration and imaginative play, making it suitable for schools, kids’ clubs, public spaces and community environments.
The amazing thing about SNUG in Gillett Square is that it defies expectations about what is possible in a public space. There are no fences, supervision, age controls, segregation of children and adults, just large-scale loose equipment used by all ages, often toddlers and teenagers together. SNUG is housed in a container at the edge of the square and brought out at weekends and during holidays for anyone to use. This is a densely populated, inner-city area and so far (touch wood) nothing has been stolen and there have been no reported accidents or complaints for two years
Snug has been awarded the prestigious KIDS Design Award in Japan, and has been acquired by both the Chicago Children’s Museum and Eureka! the UK’s national children’s museum. A recent longitudinal study by Dr Fraser Brown at Leeds Metropolitan University, looked at the affect of Snug in two schools in Yorkshire. It concluded:
It is clear from the play value assessments that the inherent flexibility of the design stimulates the imagination of the children in numerous ways. Over the whole period of the study there appeared to be no waning of the impact of Snug. It offered the same degree of fun, freedom and flexibility at the end of nine months as it did the day it was first installed.'
