About Us

Designed for Nurseries By Real Nursery Owners

Many nurseries have the same problem, equipment that only lasts a few terms, underutilised spaces, storage and much more. With over 20 years of nursery experience - and 10 years of running our own nursery group - the experts at M.O.E set out to sell, produce and advise on the best Early Years equipment available. Our mission is to help you enhance your setting and make spaces special and inspiring for every new generation of child. 

Why We Started MOE

It all began with The Treehouse Club. The concept for the Treehouse Club was clear, a nursery with an emphasis on the outdoors and the unique learning opportunities nature can provide. We wanted children to learn and explore outside, so utilising a forest school methodology and our access to the beautiful countryside of Essex we created settings like no other.

Over the years of operating The Treehouse Club we noticed that quality outdoor resources for Early Years were either overly expensive, or didn't meet the specifications we needed.

So, working with local artisan carpenters, we set out to design and make a range of outdoor play equipment that could be bespoke to each space- this was the beginning of the Big MOE range!
