Pictures: Pumpkin Patch nursery returns to Worthing nursing home to spread Christmas cheer

On Thursday, December 22, the nursery was able to return, in time for Christmas. The children sang some Christmas songs and took along some biscuits they had baked as a gift.

The visit was combined with the Pumpkin Patch Reindeer Dash, raising money for Chestnut Tree House children's hospice, the nursery's chosen charity of the year. Evie Tosswell, marketing assistant, said: "The children enjoyed wearing Santa hats and reindeer antlers whilst delivering homemade cards to our neighbours."

Jade Vaughan, registered manager at Hollywynd Rest Home, in St Botolphs Road, Worthing, said the home would be welcoming the nursery in weekly in the new year and everyone was looking forward to the visits.
