Visit from the children of Finkley Nursery
Our residents thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful visit from the children of Finkley Nursery. It was such a special time together we read books to the children, shared smiles, and truly admired the energy and joy of the younger generation.
Moments like these bring so much happiness and connection to everyone involved.
Chinese New Year Celebrations at Flowerdown
Residents recently enjoyed celebrating Chinese New Year in style!
We treated everyone to some delicious Chinese food, including spring rolls, dumplings and a special chow mein lunch. The dining room was filled with wonderful aromas and happy smiles!
In the afternoon, residents got creative making their very own Chinese lanterns, adding lots of colour and sparkle to our home. It was a fantastic celebration full of culture, creativity and great company.
We love marking special occasions together here at Flowerdown!
Pancake Day at Flowerdown!
Because it’s Shrove Tuesday, it was time to celebrate Pancake Day here at Flowerdown!
Our residents had a fantastic time making pancakes from scratch, from mixing the batter to cooking them and of course enjoying a well-deserved taste of their delicious creations.
It was a fun-filled day with plenty of smiles and sweet treats all around.

Improving Strength and Flexibility
Today our residents took part in a fantastic exercise session focused on building strength and improving flexibility. With guided movements, gentle stretches, and lots of encouragement, everyone worked at their own pace while staying active and engaged. These sessions not only support physical health, balance, and mobility, but also boost confidence and wellbeing and there were plenty of smiles along the way!
We’re so proud of the effort and enthusiasm shown by everyone who joined in. Staying active together makes it even more enjoyable!
Happy Pancake Day
Happy Pancake Day from all of us at Bere grove. Today was filled with laughter, lovely aromas, and plenty of flipping fun as residents and staff teamed up to try some delicious pancakes. From classic lemon & sugar to fresh fruit toppings, everyone had their favourites. Moments like these remind us how special it is to share simple traditions together. What’s your favourite pancake topping?
