The Sensory Garden located on Moody Street was created in 2017 and offers a tranquil space not just for children but for everyone to enjoy.
The garden has five planted areas based on the five senses, it also has seating, murals, carvings, and bird feeders. A gate was added so that parents and nurseries didn’t need to worry about little ones running out onto the road when using the garden.
A plaque located on the wall acknowledges that the garden won the 'Little Gem' award in 2018.
"KIDS PLANET SENSORY GARDEN IS BLOOMING FANTASTIC!
14th November 2018
Kids Planet Day Nursery in Congleton has been presented with two certificates as part of the town’s ‘In Bloom’ efforts to make Congleton a cleaner and greener place.
With support from Congleton in Partnership, an under-used garden area in Moody Street has been transformed into a vibrant sensory space suitable for people of all ages to relax and enjoy. Children from the Ofsted Outstanding nursery based on Chapel Street have been involved in planting and producing brightly coloured posters, made into plaques for displays around the garden. They have also provided a number of bird feeders to create a haven for wildlife.
Receiving the accolades at the ‘In Bloom’ awards’ celebration evening was Nursery Manager, Gail Ollier, “We’re absolutely thrilled to have been presented with the awards which recognise the effort our children and staff have put into making the Moody Street garden a fabulous space for the whole community to enjoy”."
