enjoyed a visit from the Mayor, Lionel Harman, recently.  As some of you may know, we host visits from the children at Little Elms Day Nursery as part of our intergenerational approach to Dementia care. This visit was special, however, as the older children who were going up to ‘Big School’ in the Autumn had a graduation ceremony in the garden. The Mayor presented them with certificates congratulating them for graduating nursery school. It was a heart-warming sight for all who attended to enjoy.

The children played in our wonderful garden and were joined by some of our residents who enjoy interacting with them and watching them all have fun. As a local leader in intergenerational care, this was the first time we’ve welcomed the children back since COVID-19 restrictions. Our registered owner, Sally Neil-Smith, said, “It has been wonderful to host the graduation of the children at Little Elms Nursery. It’s lovely to have the children visit us again after what’s been a tough time for everyone. The smiling faces of our residents, who really enjoy the company of the children, are always great to see and we look forward to welcoming the children back again very soon.”

The children also performed a few songs to the residents and relatives of the residents about moving onto ‘Big School’ in September. After the graduation awards were presented to each child by the Mayor, the children sat down to enjoy snacktime on the lawn before spending some time playing on the slide, in the playhouse and with the toys Heaton House keeps in the garden for the children to play with. It was a lovely, sunny morning enjoyed by the residents, their relatives and of course the children and Mayor.

Good luck at big school!
