Trampolines for Schools and Children's Care Homes

 

In recent years, trampolines have moved beyond the back garden and entered the classrooms, playgrounds, and therapy rooms of schools and children’s care homes across Ireland. With their wide-ranging physical, sensory, and emotional benefits, trampolines are now recognised as valuable tools for education, development, and therapeutic care.

Why Trampolines Ireland Is the Leading Resource for Trampolines in Schools and Children’s Care Homes

 

At the heart of this growing trend is Trampolines Ireland—the country’s most trusted and knowledgeable supplier of trampolines tailored specifically for schools, creches, special education units, and residential care settings.

But what sets Trampolines Ireland apart from the rest? In this article, we’ll explore why thousands of Irish educators and child welfare professionals turn to Trampolines Ireland when they need safe, durable, and purposeful trampolines for the children in their care.

  • Developing motor skills

  • Supporting sensory integration

  • Encouraging physical fitness

  • Boosting focus and attention

In schools, trampolines are used during physical education (PE), movement breaks, and even classroom transitions. In care homes, they serve as both a therapeutic outlet and a joyful way to engage children in safe, structured activity.
