Newfield Lodge care home in Castleford was delighted to welcome local child minding service, Auntie Sammie’s, for a heartwarming morning of stories, laughter, and creativity.
The children were treated to a special reading session by one of the home’s residents, Ann Hanning (87), who shared three enchanting books with the young visitors including ‘You’re Not and Ugly Duckling’.
Ann commented: "
It’s lovely for the children to visit everyone here at Newfield Lodge. I really enjoyed reading to them all. It’s such a heartwarming experience for both the children and us."
Following the stories, the children enjoyed some delicious homemade buns and juice. The morning was made even more special as other residents of Newfield Lodge joined in the fun, with some choosing to sit down and colour with the children.
Karen Hughes, the Home Manager at Newfield Lodge, added, ‘
The event was a wonderful opportunity for the young children to connect with the residents, sparking smiles and fostering a sense of togetherness.
‘At Newfield Lodge, we are committed to creating positive intergenerational experiences that bring joy and enrichment to both our residents and the wider community.’
