With this in mind, their playground would also need to continue the schools commitment to specialist support, outside of the classroom.
When designing the space, it was important to provide a suitable balance of different challenges, including climbing, traversing and sensory play.
This allows the children to express themselves through play in a variety of different ways, as well as promoting social and interactive play.
It was also vital that there was inclusive equipment as part of the project, allowing for children with different needs to be an active part of play times.
Primarily targeting sensory needs, many items also help develop fine & gross motor skills.
As an outdoor play area, the main goal still had to be a fun and expressive space, and Prospect House have done just that.
It has been great to see how well received the playground has been by the children at Prospect House, and truly makes the efforts of everyone involved worthwhile.
