Schoolchildren help Milton Keynes lady celebrate her 103rd birthday

One resident at Kents Hill Care Home has had a very, very happy birthday!

Children from Acorn at Kents Hill joined Val to celebrate her 103rd birthday, and they delivered a yummy birthday cake and a beautiful card.

The children have been enjoying regular visits to the care home where they have been chatting to the residents, singing, playing parachute games, making playdough, enjoying arts and crafts and decorating biscuits – but this visit was particularly special as it was such a big celebration.

The sessions are planned by nursery manager Elena Martuccio who works closely with the team at Kents Hill Care Home, the sessions are great for both children and residents and all involved benefit from spending quality time with each other.

These visits have been so beneficial to the residents that the nursery are looking to make them a regular fixture.

Senior Nursery Manager at Acorn Kents Hill, Elena Martuccio said: “It is lovely to bring together the different generations and watching them bond and enjoy each other’s company is just wonderful, we are already planning our next visit and introducing some new activities."
