It was a fun-filled day full of Peppa Pig activities, cake sales, silent auction and we even had real live pigs come to visit! We were very lucky and received may generous prizes for our silent auction including Bockett’s Farm tickets, gym passes and a Leo Bancroft voucher. We also had Mandy Woodford from the Little Roo’s charity come to visit our 3-5yr olds and talk to them about the amazing work the NICU ward does.

Dawny’s Day Care has recently completed a small re-vamp in their sensory room to make it more resourceful and beneficial for the children. The room is now fitted with lots of new fairy lights, sensory toys (including a lots of items for heuristic play) and a brand new fibre optic tree! The fibre optic tree is the main feature and focal point of the room and the children love it! The branches can be brought down to the children’s level for them to enjoy, explore and discover. The main purpose of the sensory room is to provide visual and tactile stimuli which will help encourage interactions and offer a retreat from the outside world. Not only can the environment be stimulating it can also create a calming and relaxing environment to help the children gain some quiet/rest...
