Mrs Carter had invited Cllr Carey to visit to see the plans for a 'Snoezelen'. 

This is special room to provide a soothing atmosphere and is particularly valued by children with sensory or learning disabilities.

'Snoezelen' is a word made up from two Dutch words meaning to snuffle and to doze. The concept originated in the Netherlands and has spread worldwide. 

Susan commented, 'The Churchill School was the very first school I visited when I became a County Councillor. I've seen many good schools since but none better. It's typical of Jennie and her team that they are introducing yet another improvement to facilities at the school.'
