The centre, serving one of the 30 per cent most deprived areas in the country, wins a £6,000 Safe Shade canopy, a £2,000 Safe Shade graphics panel and a Learning through Landscapes site visit worth £400.
Opened a year ago, the Centre's aim is to provide free-flow access for all children, an attractive and adventurous space that encourages problem solving, and an area for community members to grow flowers and vegetables.
Teacher Clare Schmieder said, 'It is very exciting for us and it will make a huge difference to how we can use the outdoor space in all weathers.'
In second place was Weldon C of E Primary in Northamptonshire, whose prizes include 20 sets of Raindrops waterproof jackets and dungarees, worth £700, and a 'freeflow' curtain from Freeflow Curtains, worth £100.
