We have owned and run a full daycare setting for the past 13 years, and currently cater for children aged nought to five at the Daisychain Nursery in Brighton. Children attending in the past two years include those with varying special needs, from complete global delay to blindness to less severe difficulties. Speaking to their parents, we realised that the area has very few facilities for these children. About a year ago, we decided that we should create our own sensory unit at the nursery, as we are lucky to have very large premises within a school.
We rang several settings who cater for special needs children and adults and couldn't believe that none of them had their own sensory units.
