Furniture giant IKEA has donated play equipment to a Doncaster school ahead of its popular Easter camps – with parents and businesses also being asked for toys.

Hatchell Wood Primary Academy received the donation to help improve play provision.

A school spokesperson said: “We are incredibly grateful for their support.

"We are planning to introduce more play equipment suitable for outdoors or indoors to help continue to encourage active, creative and physical play. These additions will help support children’s development through exploration, balance, coordination and imaginative play.

"While the donation from IKEA has given the project a fantastic start, we still want to improve our children’s play by reaching out to all for items such as Duplo, Lego, acction figures, building blocks, children’s diggers, go karts, wheel based play, jigsaws, board games, chess sets, old books, beanbags, picnic blankets and skipping ropes.”

The classroom will be in full swing over the Easter Camps so don’t miss out. Places are still available at https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/LQra5usAe2
