Children at Springboard in Chippenham have received gifts from the builders who worked on Sainsbury’s petrol station.
As part of a community gift initiative, Williams Con-struction gave sensory light boxes for visually impaired children, a lawnmower and strimmer to maintain their sensory garden with disabled access, and an iPad they can use to download learning and development apps.
Springboard manager Jane Boulton said: “With the light boxes, the children are experiencing new and stimulating play opportunities that support all areas of learning.”
The petrol station on Bath Road, closed since January 7, reopened last Wednesday after nearly 10 weeks of work.
