Activities at Melbourn Springs Care Home
Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is a major focus of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat will always be welcomed.

Life at Melbourn Springs Care Home
Remembrance Day
The whole home team at Melbourn Springs joined our residents on Remembrance Day to observe the two minute silence and watch the service from Westminster Abbey – as we all remembered and gave thanks to those brave servicemen and women who so humbly gave their lives so that we may live in peace.
Poppy Craft & Melbourn Baptist Church Cross
Our residents at Melbourn Springs have been busy with Sophie our Activities Co-ordinator making Poppy Pin Wheels and Tissue Paper Poppies for our home display and also for the Melbourn Baptist Church Cross as we prepare to mark National Remembrance Day.
Melbourn and Meldreth Walking Market
Melbourn Springs was delighted to support the Melbourn and Meldreth Walking Market by supplying delicious Cupcakes to Kimmi Crosby for the Cake Stall.
Justine, our Hostess delivered the fresh homemade Cupcakes - expertly crafted by our 2nd Chef Annie and we are pleased to have been informed that the Cake Stall raised £584 - with all proceeds going towards the All Saints Melbourn Church fund.
Bonfire Night Firework Display
Melbourn Springs held our very own Firework display as our residents and staff came together to celebrate Bonfire Night.
Earlier in the day residents decorated their own Firework themed biscuits with our Activity Co-ordinators Sophie and Laura. Our Head Chef Paul, also created a tasty supper of Hot Dogs, Burgers, Jacket Potatoes and Chilli as our residents and team enjoyed the first home Firework display.
Everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and the Fireworks were, "Absolutely spectacular!"

Melbourn Halloween Hike
Our residents enjoyed a day of Pumpkin Carving to complete our very own window display for the Melbourn Halloween Hike and tucked into a delicious Autumnal lunch - which included some eerie characters donned in costumes kindly donated by the MADS (Melbourn Amateur Dramatic Society)
Melbourn Springs was number 15 on the hike and we had lots of spooky passers-by admiring our window and Pumpkins expertly crafted by our residents. There was lots of laughter too as our residents got stuck into carving earlier in the day - with one chuckling, “Its been years since I’ve had my hand in one of these and I don’t know if I will be doing it again in a hurry either!”
