Residents at Wykeham House care home enjoyed an eggs-tensive range of Easter activities, but one of the highlights was a visit from the children from Ivy Cottage nursery.

Rachel Stevens, life enrichment lead at Wykeham House, said: “As always, we’ve all been looking forward to Easter. It’s such a lovely time of year – the residents loved spending time with the children from Ivy Cottage and had such fun watching the children find the hidden Easter eggs even hiding some themselves.

“Making Easter bonnets and enjoying the children’s homemade Easter treats – it’s really been an eggs-cellent few days!”

Jodie, manager at Ivy Cottage nursery, said: “It has been so lovely to spend time with the residents at Wykeham House over the past few months.
