Where you’ll work
Popular visitors are toddlers from our local nursery, who come along every week to join in with activities. The benefits of these visits for both our residents and the children are heart-warming to see. Residents have been known to form close bonds with the toddlers. For example, one resident was invited to attend a toddler's 'graduation ceremony' from the nursery. It was such a magical experience and one that both families will always treasure. Our residents also love their daily visits from our dogs. Bella the Labradoodle and Arlo the Shih Tzu, who is so tiny he sits on our residents’ laps!
