Staff at Barnack Pre-School have been working hard to create a new space for their younger group of children. With the help of a National Lottery Grant, they have been able to move their existing cloakroom, to make room for their sensory room.
The sensory room offers a quiet, relaxing and engaging experience for all children, with sensory lighting, toys and interactive games.
Manager Kirsty Adams said “This has been a much-needed addition to our wonderful Pre-School. Sometimes children need a quiet space away where they can relax calmly, to take charge of their emotions. It also gives us an additional space for our younger group to have age-appropriate small group activities, whilst our older group of children carry out activities in preparation for school.”
The sensory room provides children the opportunity to develop their senses, encourage problem solving and can build nerve connections in the brain.
We are delighted with our new room and would like to thank the National Lottery for providing much needed funding towards this. We look forward to our children benefiting from this.
