Reception children at Haydonleigh School can now make use of new play equipment, within their own specially fenced area, thanks to the generous support of Swindon business Kudos Fencing.

The school recently purchased outdoor toys for the four and five year olds, but were restricted in their use for the lack of a confined, safe space. Teacher Rebecca Mucklestone explained, "the reception playground had no boundaries. We needed picket fencing each side, but the quotes we received were all well above our budget."

Kudos Fencing were only too happy to help out. The family run business, based at Cheney Manor Industrial Estate, gave their labour costs free. Steve Manners of Kudos said, "we were pleased to be able to support the school. I used to live in Haydon Wick and have school aged children, so I thought it would be appropriate to help out."

The two fencers arrived on site at 8am and did not leave until after 7pm. One was even late for a family barbecue to ensure the job was finished. Rebecca said, "the guys worked really hard on a very hot day. We're extremely grateful to Kudos, we've got exactly what we wanted and it looks really nice."
