Already posted in pre-school section, but thought I'd try another section.

Does anyone know of good suppliers for Play equipment for a Parent&Toddler group.

Our group is thinking about applying for a grant to buy new play equipment but I'm not sure of where to look.
I've got a Morleys catalogue and the sort of thing I like is this.

We have limited storage, so anything that folds away and is lightweight would be ideal.

Any help at all would be appreciated

that looks lovely,we have a little tykes one at our group, and usually buy stuff from toys r us of elc,
we have a tp folding trampoline,a pop up tent and tunnel (they are cheap in argos), a garage and cars)elc one which is great) a few of the little people type sets from elc too.and we have big lego bricks which are about 20cmx10cm and are in a big bag, they are the most popular stuff at our group.
lots of trikes/sit on cars (again from argos)

The trampoline further down the page, also folds up, we had it at our toddler group.

ELC will give you 10% discount on things. You need to go in store and get a form from them.

When my friend and I used to run a toddler group we went round a couple of car boot sales and picked things up for next to nothing. Lots of Little Tikes stuff for example. We just made sure we gave everthing a good scrub.

Thanks folks.
We are an established group in our area with a lot of the toys described.
The main bugbear is the slide. It is a very old wooden cube with steps and a slide.
It's showing its age now (20 years) and apart from anything else weighs a flippin' ton and takes up a load of cupboard space!!
That's the main reason why that folding one looked so attractive
I've managed to contact the toy library in our area and they're going to send some info too

Thanks again for your answers!
