Sensory Space (360G-ocf-a061600000lwFGD)

We are needing to provide a sensory space at Grovelands Park Pre-school. This sensory space will provide experiences for all the children in our care and have the most impact on those children we look after who have additional needs. These needs range from global developmental delay, to autism, speech difficulties, visual and hearing impairments, a whole range of special educational needs. This sensory space will also give all our children an area of relaxation and a calming place to help children who struggle to regulate their emotions. Grovelands Park Pre-school is one of very few places in the local community which can offer care for those who are most vulnerable. To be able to offer this type of care and service the provider must have a minimum of a Good rating from Ofsted and have a full understanding on how to be able to meet the complex needs of the children and families who are the most vulnerable. To be able to work closely with the local authorities and services to ensure these children have the same opportunities to access as any other child. And on top of all the other legalities which are met with a Good Ofsted rating, we ensure the United National Convention for the Rights of the Child are being met at all times. This grant would make a massive difference to the service we provide. This is a project which we provide opportunities for the children who attend this academic year and many many years of children in the future.
