READERS young and old curled up with a book for World Book Day in Stratford.
Residents at Ambleside are home, on Evesham Road, welcomed the children from Precious Little Smiles Day Nursery for a day of fun to celebrate children’s literature.
To mark the special day, youngsters, residents and the team dressed up as their favourite characters and brought along their most loved books, including The Cat in the Hat and Room on the Broom.
Ensuring the scene was set for a storytelling session, the team at Ambleside created a reading nook, complete with blankets and toys, for the children to get cosy.
Resident Beryl Lindop said: “It was lovely to see the children. I used to be a teacher, so it brought back lots of great memories and I loved reading to them. They all looked amazing in their costumes for World Book Day.”
Stephanie Obeng, deputy home manager at Ambleside, added: “At Ambleside, we enjoy building relationships with the local community, and we were delighted to celebrate World Book Day with Precious Little Smiles Day Nursery.
“We are always looking for new and exciting activities for residents. This session was a great opportunity to create special bonds across the generations – as young and older people alike really benefit from the time spent together. We look forward to another visit from the children very soon.”
