  " My 3-year-old son and I attended our first Butterfly Buddies session today, and it was such a wonderful experience. Joe led the session beautifully, creating such a natural and effortless connection between the children and the residents. The children had so much fun singing, playing games, and spending time with the residents, who clearly enjoyed it just as much. The atmosphere was warm, fun, and full of smiles. We had such a lovely morning and can’t wait to come back!"

"This activity was great for us because we have a 2.5yo and a newborn. Our toddler really enjoyed the session, singing along with the songs and interacting with the different toys and activities. It was a great way for her to interact with other children and adults alike. 

Plus, our newborn got lots of attention and cuddles from some of the kind residents."

 "Joe has a magical way of bringing together the young and the young at heart, creating a space where laughter truly knows no age. My 7-month-old baby boy was all smiles during our visit. The thoughtfully designed activities not only engage the little ones but also foster beautiful interactions with the residents. Joe takes the time to know each child, parent and resident, ensuring that everyone feels included."  

  "I cannot thank Joe enough for our uplifting Butterfly Buddies sessions each week. I attend this intergenerational group each week as a childminder with my mindees and we are always made to feel welcome and special. It lifts my heart each week and the children are so very happy. Joe is so positive and the sessions are so much fun. She has a regular routine in which the children feel safe, as they know what comes next, and a gentle focus each week to provide some exciting variety too! All the families I work with love that the children attend Butterfly Buddies with me. The children are growing in confidence and are building positive relationships with the residents, who are so lovely. Joe also offers a little community chat for our sessions, where I instantly felt welcome."

"We had so much fun at our first visit today.  The children loved all the fun activities. It was so lovely to see how they all interacted with the residents, showing them the toys and playing with balloons.  We're looking forward to making these sessions a regular feature of our week."

 "The preschool I manage attend intergenerational sessions set up and run by Joe, she is amazing and the sessions are phenomenal for the children and residents. The joy on the children's faces as they join in with stories, songs and games with the residents is magical 😃 I can't recommend Butterfly Buddies highly enough!"
