Healdswood Extended Island

When your setting needs a little more flexibility (and a lot more storage), our Healdswood Extended Island steps in beautifully. Part of our well-loved Healdswood Furniture Range, this mobile island is designed to offer a generous surface for play setups, exploration, and group learning. With plenty of space underneath for neatly tucked-away baskets of resources.

Whether you’re building a bustling small world scene, setting up a maths invitation, or creating a mini literacy hub, this island gives you a defined, elevated space that children can gather around and interact with from all sides. And because it’s on wheels, you can easily roll it into different zones depending on the day’s needs, or just to freshen up the flow of the room.

Underneath, the open design provides accessible storage for resources, baskets, or books; helping to keep your space organised and making transitions between activities a breeze.

Pair it with your existing Healdswood units for a cohesive, natural look across your setting. Whether it’s part of your continuous provision or a rotating learning station, our Extended Island brings flexibility, function and a whole lot of possibility… without taking up permanent real estate.
