Hutton Village residents enjoy music session with local tots

Residents at Hutton Village Bupa Care Home have recently been joined by Moo Music, an interactive music class for babies and toddlers, for an afternoon of singing and dancing with local children and their parents.

The session was organised by Angie Lillywhite, Activity Co-ordinator, and Debby from Moo Music, who run interactive music classes for babies, toddlers and preschool aged children.

Residents of Hutton Village Bupa Care Home were joined by their families and local tots to take part in the interactive and sensory activities, which included playing percussion instruments, dancing and singing nursery rhymes.

The session provided to be a huge success with the residents of Hutton Village, and intergenerational events are proven to bring a host of wellbeing benefits; such as boosting confidence and learning new skills.

Daphne Topham, aged 100 and resident at Hutton Village, commented: “I had a wonderful afternoon with Moo Music, it was so much fun and I loved the nursery rhymes. The children were delightful, and it was a pleasure to spend time with them, I hope we do similar sessions in the future.”

Another Josie Yell, aged 92, commented: “It was a very special afternoon, my granddaughter came along with her children so it was lovely to spend time with them and create some very special memories.”

Angie Lillywhite, Activity Co-ordinator at Hutton Village, commented: “It was lovely to welcome Moo Music to the home. They have proved very popular with our residents and their families! We had a fabulous afternoon, and you could see the joy the babies and children brought to the residents who attended.”

The team at Hutton Village look forward to welcoming Moo Music back to the care home in the future after receiving such a positive response to the event from both residents and visitors.
