Following a nationwide search to find thecountry’s top playmaker, twins Willow and Indy Coe, aged nine, who live at Redrow South West’s Woodborough Grange, on Woodborough Road, have been named Redrow’s ‘Junior Heads of Play’.
The competition required the girls to design their dream play area and, impressed by their imaginative and exciting concept, the judges knew Willow and Indy would be excellent advisors, rewarding them with a £500 Argos voucher to go towards their own playmaking.
The fun-loving duo designed a 3D model of their dream play area, complete with a rainbow-themed gazebo for playing games and dancing, as well as a football pitch, plenty of green space full of daisies for making daisy chains and even a red carpet walkway leading to a sweet shop.
In their new role, Willow and Indy will be working closely with Redrow South West to advise on their favourite play areas and equipment – providing expert advice directly from those who use the facilities most. Already getting stuck into the job, the girls were invited to open Woodborough Grange’s newest play area, which features classic favourites such as a climbing frame, slide and seesaw.
Commenting on their win, Willow said: “I can’t believe we won! I loved meeting the play area designers and I am super excited to make the best park ever.”
Indy added: “It was really fun to make our model, I can’t wait to see a real spinning rainbow gazebo and show our friends!”
We launched the competition as part of our Playmaking campaign, developed to encourage youngsters to play outside more. The initiative was inspired by findings that two thirds of parents across the UK say their child plays outside for less time than their generation did*.
Throughout summer, Redrow South West is encouraging children to ‘please play here’, offering free play packs including a yoyo, chalk and a frisbee at developments across the region, including Woodborough Grange.
Sian Smith, Sales Director for Redrow South West, said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming Willow and Indy to the team.
“Here at Redrow South West, we carefully design all of our developments to be as play-friendly as possible, and Woodborough Grange is no different. The opening of the new play area marks an important step in providing ample outdoor spaces for children to play, grow and learn.
“We’re excited to work alongside Willow and Indy to continue prioritising the importance of outdoor play with expert input from those who enjoy the facilities most – children!”
