Cliffe House Nursery Visit Residents at White Rose Lodge

White Rose Lodge was delighted to welcome a group of 2-4 year olds from Cliffe House Nursery at the beginning of March. The news of their visit aroused excitement among the residents. Many of the residents gathered in anticipation for their arrival. They arrived with bundles of energy and excitement to share some learnt nursery rhymes with the residents. The young children appeared quite at home whilst they performed twinkle, twinkle, little star, three little monkeys and a variety of well known nursery rhymes and songs. The children were taught British sing language to accompany the songs which invited our residents to endeavour to copy the language and sing alongside them. Both residents and children alike appeared to be engaged and thoroughly enjoy themselves. Once the performance came to an end the children had time to chat and interact with the residents. This made apparent the benefits both for the children and residents in regards to the time they spent together. The children had worked hard and were rewarded with biscuits and juice. Due to the positive reaction from residents and children, we are hoping to be able to plan another visit very soon.
