Tuesday afternoon, Kirsty hosted a coffee afternoon, bringing residents together for an informal chat about the Montessori ethos and approach.

It was a great opportunity to get together and share how Montessori principles can support independence, encourage choice, and help people to help themselves in their daily lives giving each individual a sense of purpose and belonging.
Allowing them to make meaningful contributions to the home.
Residents enjoyed learning more about our ethos, asking questions, and discussing simple ways to maintain their skills, confidence, and wellbeing.

Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a lovely afternoon ☕💙

The other day we enjoyed a creative painting session 👩‍🎨 Residents were encouraged to explore colour and creativity by using paint to reveal patterns that had been drawn onto paper using white crayon.
Val particularly enjoyed our dementia-friendly water painting at their own pace. 🖌️The activity provided sensory stimulation, and social engagement in a relaxed and supportive environment.

So this morning we made some complete with chocolate chips and white chocolate chips, then we all enjoyed one this afternoon with a cuppa ☕️

Today, our residents enjoyed making their own beautiful dreamcatchers. 🪶 💖
It was a wonderful activity that helped with dexterity and coordination while giving everyone the chance to relax, chat, and express their creativity ✨
Every dreamcatcher was unique, just like the person who made it, and everyone was so proud of their finished creations. They can now hang them above their beds as a lovely reminder of a happy time spent together—and, who knows, maybe they’ll even help bring a few extra sweet dreams. 💙🌙

We enjoyed a lovely afternoon today reading all about the history of Britain’s great piers. 🌊
It sparked some wonderful conversations and plenty of reminiscing about holidays and the piers we’ve visited over the years. We rounded off the afternoon with delicious pastries and a lovely cuppa. ☕️💙

Today was the return of happy hour at the Grove pub! It was a lovely social afternoon and Marina was in her element playing away on the keyboard for us while we sang along. It’s really lovely to see residents coming together and making new friendships all with a drink or 2 🍺

🌿💚 Doreen and Phillipa got stuck into looking after our gardens this morning! Doreen was on watering duty while Phillipa pulled up some weeds.

Giving our residents meaningful, familiar tasks helps provide a sense of purpose, builds confidence, and encourages independence. It’s all part of our Montessori ethos, focusing on what people CAN do and creating moments of achievement every day.

Thank you so much for your help ladies, it’s always appreciated 🌼
