Belong Chester and Ready Generations Nursery were delighted to recently host Takako Serizawa and Shingo Eguchi from the Diversional Therapy Association of Japan. 🇯🇵

Diversional therapy is a person-centred approach using activities to improve physical and emotional wellbeing, and is often used in the care of older people and in hospitals.

Our guests toured the village, chatting with customers and colleagues to find out more about our approach to care in partnership with nursery operators, Ready Generations. 🧸

Special thank you to National Activity Providers Association for making it all happen!

Breathe with Louise 🌬️🍃

A calming space created for you to slow down, reset, and reconnect. Pause from the noise of everyday life and step into moments of stillness, reflection, and gentle calm. Each session is designed to help you feel grounded, supported, and present.

Breathing exercises are a powerful yet simple way to care for your mind and body.

Take a moment. Inhale. Exhale. 😮‍💨🍃
