Report
From start to finish it was a pleasure to do business with Setter. We are all, especially the children, delighted with our new outdoor classroom. The construction crew were exceptional. They worked so hard in unbelievably horrendous weather, far from home and were never seen without a smile!

We would just like to say thank you for installing our climbing frame during the Half term break. The children are loving it and it has been great to see the children already gaining in confidence as they challenge themselves on the monkey bars. Some children who were very nervous at the beginning are going back time and time again to have another try. So we are hoping to see great improvements in their confidence, perseverance as well as their physical skills! Many thanks once again!

Ive just recommended you to a local school and it reminded that I wanted to say thank you again for the equipment and the great service from you and your team. The children are loving it and it has made such a difference to the appearance of the environment too.
