Youngsters from the Little Spinnaker Pre-School have visited Churchill Retirement Living’s Summerson Lodge in Southsea as part of their Easter bonnet parade celebrations.
Fifty children, aged between three and four, were busy creating their own bonnets in the lead up to Easter and visited Summerson Lodge to show off their designs to Owners as well as sing a selection of songs while they paraded through the retirement development.
Owners and staff at Summerson Lodge were then on-hand with a selection of Easter treats to congratulate the pre-school children.
Kate Aylward, pre-school teacher at the Little Spinnaker Pre-School, says: “Summerson Lodge is one of the four locations we visited during our parade and we wish to thank them for accommodating us. I selected Summerson Lodge because my grandmother, Betty Knight, has an apartment there and it is great to give the children the opportunity to visit the older generation in a lovely environment. The children took a lot of time creating their bonnets and they loved showing them off to the Owners at Summerson Lodge.”
Ann De La Haye, Lodge Manager at Summerson Lodge, says: “We are delighted to host the pre-school and to be part of the Easter parade. We regularly host events in the Owners’ Lounge for our Owners to participate in and we were delighted to welcome Little Spinnaker Pre-School.”

The UK’s largest private retirement housebuilder, Churchill Retirement Living has acquired the site of the former council offices in Ringwood. The retirement housing specialist’s first development in the town is a notable additional to the firm’s portfolio.
A planning application is currently being prepared for a new lodge of one and two bedroom apartments exclusively for those of retirement age. The development will offer a high quality living experience with Owners having the benefits of a lodge manager, 24 hour Careline, Owners’ Lounge, Wellbeing Suite, Guest Suite and laundry room. This lifestyle is becoming increasingly sought after by people of retirement age who have the benefit of built-in sociability whilst still retaining their independence and privacy.
Spencer McCarthy, Chairman and Group Managing Director at Churchill Retirement Living, says: “Ringwood is a wonderful market town with excellent links to the New Forest and the fantastic beaches on the south coast. It is also home to our head office and we feel there are many benefits to living in the town.”
It is a formula that has earned Churchill Retirement Living many prestigious awards, including the ‘UK Over 50s Housing Awards’ for five consecutive years since 2009. It was also highly ranked in the ‘Sunday Times‘100 Best Small Companies to Work For’ in 2013, and won three top accolades in the ‘Housebuilder Awards 2012’ – ‘Best Small to Medium Housebuilder of the Year’, ‘Best Customer Service Initiative’, and Highly Commended in the ‘Best Retirement Scheme’. Churchill’s mission is to serve the growing older population by providing a rewarding lifestyle that combines independence with security and sociability, combating the loneliness and isolation that mars the lives of so many of the older generation.
