Adorable 'pumpkins' bring joy to Lovell Place in Halloween sing-song

Adorable 'pumpkins' bring joy to Lovell Place in Halloween sing-song

Babies dressed for Halloween served up maximum cuteness at a lullaby session at a Charlton Hayes care home this autumn.

Incredibly, the age gap between the youngest member of the Lovell Place Care Home lullaby circle and the oldest was a staggering 103 years.

Resident Beryl Tatchell, aged 104, was charmed by the young visitors, including the youngest, six-month-old Skylar, at the enchanting session.

Beryl said: “It’s lovely seeing the happy babies - they all look so magical. It’s been perfect as everyone is so happy.”

Parents and their children were treated to a sensory session at the home on Sparrowbill Way as they enjoyed twinkling lights, bubbles, Halloween decorations and songs.

According to Vicky Green, the Wellbeing and Lifestyle Coach at Lovell Place, the intergenerational session showcased the power of intergenerational sessions and the boost they give the residents and babies.

Vicky said: “Seeing residents and young children spending time together is always incredibly special. 

“It was lots of fun to do a Halloween-theme lullaby circle as there are so many fantastic sensory elements to the season. 

The smiles, conversations and shared experiences make these sessions so meaningful for all involved."
