Our bright idea

We adapted a Nursery World project to suit our children with special needs, writes Carol Smith, a nursery nurse at Raeden Day Nursery, Aberdeen The day nursery of the Raeden Centre in Aberdeen, better known to staff and parents as 'Room 1', caters for children aged three years and under who have been diagnosed as having special needs. Because of the varying difficulties and development levels of the children, the staff of Room 1 spend a lot of time carefully planning activities to ensure that children are able to participate fully and reach their full potential. Recent inspiration came from a Nursery World mini-topic about Mrs Mopple's Washing Line.
