CHILDREN have been bringing joy into the lives of residents at a nursing home in North Yorkshire.

Saint Cecilia’s Nursing Home, in Scarborough, regularly has visits from youngsters from Wheatcroft School and a local childminder’s group. Wheatcroft School has been bringing groups of children to the nursing home for a few months. When they visit, the children do activities like arts and crafts and book reading with the residents or they sing them songs. Childminders Colleen Doolin and Tracey Pickford have also been regular visitors to the home, along with the children they look after.
