A spokesperson for the Doncaster East Local Policing Team, which is investigating the incident, said staff and parents at the centre "believe this is a great loss to them as the centre supports families in the area, and surrounding areas, with children with cerebral palsy, visual impairment or even helping them to get a child to sleep."
