WINTER is a wonderful time
for everyone at Jubilee Day
Nursery and Jubilee Gems
Term-Time Day Nursery in
Padworth.
It has a highly-regarded
reputation for outdoor learning
and it’s a great time to head
outdoors and explore a treasure
trove of natural wonders.
The nurseries plan a whole host
of winter-themed activities based
around the Early Years
Foundation Stage and the
children also enjoy the build-up
to Christmas with an array of
crafts, a Christmas dinner, baby
and toddler sensory parties,
pantomime and a children’s
entertainer.
The children and their
families love to join the magical
Christmas event ‘The Winter
Wonderland Walk’ in the private
woodland, which comes alive
with carols and a very special
visitor from Lapland! It is all
about creating special memories
which last a lifetime.
The nurseries care for babies
and children up to five years of
age and whether you are looking
for term-time, full-time or
part-time care for your child,
there are sessions to suit.
For further information, call
(0118) 970 1600 to discuss your
requirement and arrange a visit.
To celebrate, Jubilee has a
family pass for a day out at
Bucklebury Farm Park to be
won. To be in with a chance of

Creating special
memories...
MAKE sure no older person is
alone this Christmas unless
they want to be.
National charity Friends of the
Elderly is calling on people in
West Berkshire to hold
Christmas Day activities in their
community, so no older person
will be alone unless they choose
to. As official partner of
Community Christmas, the
charity hopes that more people
than ever will get involved in
2016.
With more than a third of older
people living in West Berkshire
affected by loneliness, and
around half a million older
people in the UK saying
Christmas Day is when they feel
most lonely, Friends of the
Elderly and Community
Christmas are asking people to
give the gift of time.
Tony Smith, 61, doesn’t have any
family and usually spends
Christmas Day alone, watching
TV. Last year, thanks to
Community Christmas, he
attended a Christmas lunch and
also enjoyed an afternoon of
entertainment and games. He
said: “It was the first time
Christmas actually meant
something to me; it was the best
Christmas I’ve ever had.”
Last year, eight activities in West
Berkshire were registered with
Community Christmas,
including a Christmas Day lunch
in Thatcham and light
refreshments in Newbury. But
even more are needed to reach as
many older people as possible.
Organising an activity is easy.
It’s not just about the turkey
dinner – you could get people to
watch a Christmas film, share a
tea and a mince pie in a pub, or
enjoy a Christmas Day walk.
Jo O’Boyle, director of
engagement at Friends of the
Elderly, said: “Friends of the
Elderly is delighted to be work-
ing with Community Christmas
again this year to support older
people facing Christmas alone.
“We know that loneliness can
have a devastating impact on
older people’s lives and those we
work with tell us that becoming
isolated from a day community
they were once part of can be
especially difficult.
“That’s why we’re calling on
individuals, organisations and
businesses to put on activities on
Christmas Day to bring together
older people in their community
who don’t want to be alone.”
If you’re organising an activity on
Christmas Day, or know of one in
your area, contact Community
Christmas so it can be listed on
the website, making it easier for
older people to know what’s
happening in West Berkshire.
