Joanne Fenn, manager of Nynehead Court, has described the event as “a unique intergenerational opportunity.”

She said: “Our residents love watching and spending time with children, so this session was a real treat for them.

“They enjoyed talking to the mums and hearing their stories, which reminded them of when they were bringing up their own families. This was the first of what we hope will be a regular event in our calendar.”
