The update on a GoFundMe page continued: "She is able to communicate what she likes, doesn't like, and is in great spirits.
"She has now become more interested in playing with sand, playdough, colouring. She has also been able to work on her Maths and spelling. We are looking forward to the next chapter.”
A man has been charged with the attempted murder of the three children and causing serious harm to the care worker. Riad Bouchaker, who is of no fixed abode, remains in custody awaiting trial.
