Cambridge Resthaven residents were delighted to host a visit by children and teachers from Bunnies Childcare and Pre-School.

The visit was one of many regular get-togethers enjoyed by both organisations, with the recent gathering centred on a butterfly theme.

Resthaven resident Linda Gorham made butterfly masks while fellow resident Sandra Mathews brought monarch butterfly caterpillars from her garden for the children to hold.

The youngsters joined in with Linda on an interactive story she had written, and making a special appearance was a musical fairy house crafted by Resthaven resident Steven Slade.
