What a wonderful experience this was today! I cannot recommend highly enough!
A heart warming, uplifting, sociable session led by the most incredible teacher, Emma, who was full of infectious energy and positivity.
A lovely opportunity to provide joy to the residents whilst my little one enjoyed playing with the toys and dancing and singing along to the music. We were very well looked after with a great range of toys and coffee and cake. We will certainly be going again.

Wow - what a session! We have just attended our first session at Edwalton Manor and we will be regulars for sure!! It was beautiful seeing the intergenerational interactions! My little one enjoyed the wonderful toys and song time and I enjoyed the coffee and cake!! Thank you so much! See you next time!!

Emma is kind, caring and outgoing! She tries to meet all of our residents needs and ensures they have a great time.
Emma knows how to get families, friends and staff involved as well, making it an all round lovely experience.
Thankyou for the joy you bring to our home.

We are incredibly grateful to Bits and Bobs Children's Playgroup, who visit Willow Brook Care Home every fortnight to host their wonderful intergenerational play sessions.

Emma, the organiser, is absolutely amazing. She is kind, caring, and has taken the time to get to know our Residents personally. Her warm and friendly nature makes every visit special, and our Residents genuinely look forward to seeing her. She always creates a welcoming, fun, and engaging atmosphere where everyone feels included.

The sessions bring together our Residents, babies, and young children through games, toys, singing, and interactive activities. It is wonderful to see not only our Residents but also our staff getting involved and having fun alongside the children. The smiles, laughter, and joy these sessions bring are truly priceless.

At Willow Brook Care Home, we support Residents living with dementia, and we have seen first-hand the positive impact that regular interaction with babies and young children has on their mental wellbeing. These visits encourage conversation, stimulate memories, reduce feelings of isolation, and brighten everyone's day. Many of our residents ask when the next session will be, and it is heartwarming to see how much they enjoy spending time with the children.

We cannot recommend Bits and Bobs Children's Playgroup highly enough. We would encourage other care homes to consider introducing these wonderful sessions, as the benefits for Residents are truly remarkable. We would also highly recommend the playgroup to parents looking for a friendly, welcoming, and engaging environment where their little ones can play, learn, and make meaningful connections across generations.

Thank you, Emma, for everything you do. We look forward to welcoming you, the children, and hopefully many new faces to Willow Brook Care Home for many more fantastic sessions to come!

Bits and bobs playgroup is amazing. I'm the activities assistant from a care home they come and visit and the things our residents say and think about this group all wonderful thinks. All the parents that are there are so loving and kind to the residents and even Emma herself is amazing. Emma focuses on a lot with the residents interaction with the babies and get all the residents speaking about their family and babies they've been around to. This always gets our residents smiling when they see babies coming into the home and even more when the babies play with the residents. We are incredibly thankful to Emma from Bits and bobs for everything she does for our residents and what we can see how much she does for the babies. She's always making our residents laugh and have smiles. thank you so much xx

What a super idea. The children have lots of fun playing with all the wide range of toys ( which grows weekly) and also with each other and the residents. Such special interaction between them!
Emma is a bundle of joy, so fun and lively.
So glad we found this!!

I’ve been coming to these sessions since my son was 3 months old. They are perfect for mums (or dads, my husband has been to some too) and babies on a tight budget on maternity leave as they are free (with the bonus of a hot drink and someone to hold your baby so you can drink it hot!)
Emma is so welcoming and friendly and always gets a smile and a cuddle from my baby. We love coming to the sessions and have recently attended Trent bridge as well as our usual coppice lodge. It’s lovely to see the residents interacting with the children! I have recommended to some of my friends who also attend now too!

Where to begin!
I started taking my little boy at 3 weeks old, couldn’t have been more nervous and worried as I often find mum groups cliquey. Emma made me feel so welcome, the residents loved having cuddles with my little one and you could see the joy on their faces.
He’s now 9.5 months and it’s our favourite time of week, Emma has become more of a friend than a session leader and she would do anything to help any of the mums out. We’ve been on days where I’m struggling, tired and exhausted and it’s been the best decision and we’ve left having the best time and my little boy loves it no matter his mood!
Genuinely sad to be going back to work and trying to persuade Emma to run weekend groups so we can still see everyone!
Would recommend to everyone, who wants a laugh, catch up and a lovely environment for their little one to play x

Emma is absolutely amazing!

I spent maternity striggling financially and mentally with my 1st child. I came bervously to her group and the warmth, excitement and care she showed the parents, babies and vintage residents was astounding.
She makes you feel at home. The chance to interact with other parents and get out was a punt - we've now returned to work and I book a half day to attend!
Emma you've no idea how much it meqnt to us finding your group. Thank you for all that you do. X J and K
