Lindfield Pre-School Nursery has been providing pre-school education to children aged 2-5 years in the Amersham area, regardless of ability and background, for the past 40 years.

As a registered charity we have to continually fundraise in order to buy essential new equipment and toys and currently we are looking to raise funds to enable us to create a “Sensory Room” within the nursery; a calm and safe environment with low lighting, cushions and beanbags, fibre optic lights and mirrors with range of sensory equipment for all the children to use.

This aim of this environment is to help children explore and play using all their senses which helps to encourage learning, language development, social interaction, creativity and problem solving skills. Whilst it will be a space for all our children to enjoy it will be particularly beneficial to those with Special Educational Needs who often need a quiet space in order to have some time out of the busy and noisy nursery environment. It will also provide a calming environment for our children with English as an Additional Language to explore, feel, smell and learn the words to describe what they find. A calm, safe environment for children to open up and talk to someone about any difficulties they may be facing is also incredibly important for the childrens’ wellbeing. Last but not least, it will be a place for our children to feel happy and have fun.
