Parents campaign to save special needs nursery

A new support and fundraising group has been set up by two parents in aid of the Peter Pan Nursery for Children with Special Needs in Staffordshire.

The nursery is a registered charity providing care and education to 43 children with special needs aged from birth to five. It also supplies the children’s families with advice and support, including a specialised family room and training courses such as Makaton signing, baby massage and first aid. It is currently over 90 per cent funded by donations.

Charlotte and Matthew White launched Maximise after their son, Max, aged two, was diagnosed with syringomyelia, a rare condition affecting fluid on the spine, last year. Max also has global development delay, which meant he required the one-on-one care provided by the Peter Pan Nursery.
