A Sidmouth youngster has recreated London's Nightingale Hospital in Lego and he really wants Boris Johnson to see it, in the hopes it cheers up our ailing Prime Minster.

Sidmouth Primary School student Freddie Taylor, 5, is hoping to cheer up the, currently unwell, Prime Minister with his interpretation of the temporary hospital set up to help the NHS cope with the influx of cororavirus patients in the country's capital.

Freddie's Nightingale Hospital features an Intensive Care Unit, doctors putting on face masks, plenty of windows so patients can see their families and a fan to help people 'breathe better'.

Freddie's mum, Katie Turner, said: "Freddie has sensory processing disorder and is on the pathway for autism assessment, he is obsessed with watching the news, probably not great, but it's something he likes to do. He's been particularly obsessed with the nightingale hospital they've built to help people, so he spent all afternoon building one.

"It's got the ICU room, with two people, doctors outside stood next to a little box where they can put their masks and equipment once they've left the ICU room, a doctor stood filling in forms, a fan because in Freddie's words, 'coronavirus isn't good so a fan will make you breathe better'.

"Plenty of windows so poorly people can still wave to their family because they can't go out to see anyone."

The coronavirus lockdown has been a 'real struggle' for Freddie, as his mum Katie explains: "Freddie does not understand what's going on at the moment. The Lego hospital has really helped him process what's going on.

"That people go to the hospital, they get better, the coronavirus will go and we'll all get back to normal."

Katie has found that the key to keeping Freddie entertained during the lock down is routine.

"It's all about structure and routine. We do PE with Joe Wicks, school work for an hour and then Freddie gets to choose an activity, we have lunch and then finish off the day with more learning."

Freddie sees Boris as a hero for his work trying to keep the country going in these unprecedented times.

"He's seen Boris on the news and he feels that Boris is up there with Spiderman as a hero," said Katie. "He wants to make Boris feel that he has people on his side."
