Children in Need
In November we were awarded £10,000 from Children in Need and featured on the BBC. The money donated was to create a sensory room in our nursery. The baby room will be fitted out with sensory equipment including touch-sensitive light pads, vibrating cushions and bubble tubes. Putting in place a sensory stimulation suite is one more way for us to give the children that here the best experience we can and this suite will help promote the development and bonding between mother and child.
