The Daffodil Winter 2025 Newsletter – Celebrating Life at Springdene Care Homes

We are delighted to share the relaunch of The Daffodil, the much-loved newsletter from Springdene Care Homes, published just before Christmas and marking a special new chapter for our community.

Produced twice a year, The Daffodil brings together stories, celebrations and everyday moments from across our North London care homes. It is a chance to reflect, reconnect and celebrate the people who make Springdene such a warm and welcoming place to live.

A Newsletter Rooted in Community and Connection

After a period away, the Winter 2026 edition of The Daffodil was relaunched with a clear purpose: to celebrate shared experiences and strengthen the sense of community across Springdene.

From residents and families to staff, volunteers and local partners, the newsletter reflects the relationships at the heart of life in our care homes. It highlights not just events, but the everyday moments of kindness, creativity and togetherness that define our approach to care in North London.

Highlights from The Daffodil Winter 2025

This edition is packed with joyful stories and memorable moments, including:

Community Events and Fundraising

A standout highlight was the Summer Festival, where classic cars, live music and a BBQ brought residents, families and neighbours together. Thanks to generous support, the event raised £3,000 for the RNLI Tower Lifeboat Station, reinforcing Springdene’s commitment to the wider community.

Creativity and Resident-Led Activities

Creative expression shines throughout the newsletter. Mosaic workshops with Artist in Residence Odile encouraged residents to explore their artistic talents, producing beautiful pieces while fostering connection and conversation.

Themed celebration days, arts events and cultural activities demonstrate how creativity plays a key role in wellbeing at Springdene.

Celebrating Our Residents and Staff

The Winter 2026 edition also puts people centre stage. Resident spotlights share life stories, passions and memories, while Employee Appreciation Days recognise the dedication and compassion of our care teams across all three homes.

These features reflect our belief that great care starts with valued people.

Intergenerational and Family Moments

From Songs & Smiles baby group visits to festive celebrations and seasonal traditions, the newsletter captures moments that bring generations together. These shared experiences strengthen bonds between residents, families and the local North London community.

Building for the Future at Springdene

The Daffodil Winter 2026 also looks ahead, sharing updates on refurbishment programmes across the homes. These improvements are designed to enhance comfort, accessibility and quality of life, ensuring Springdene continues to be a place residents are proud to call home.

A Bi-Annual Celebration of Life at Springdene

The Daffodil is published twice a year, and future editions will continue to celebrate life across Springdene Care Homes.

We encourage families, friends and members of the local community to keep an eye on:

Valentine’s visit to Spring Grove Care Home in Hampstead

Opening our doors this Valentine’s Day

On 14 February 2025, we welcomed families, friends and local professionals to our latest Open Day at Spring Grove Care Home in Hampstead, North London. Our doors on Finchley Road were open for tours, conversations and plenty of warm hospitality, giving visitors a real feel for life in our long-established, family-run home.

Guests were able to meet residents and team members, see our beautifully furnished lounges and cinema room, and explore our peaceful garden spaces. Most importantly, they could experience the friendly atmosphere that makes Springdene one of the most trusted North London care homes.

Throughout the afternoon, our team were on hand to answer questions about residential care, dementia care and short-term respite stays. Whether people were considering a move now or simply planning ahead, the Open Day offered a relaxed way to see what day-to-day life is like at Spring Grove and how we support every resident to feel at home.

Part of the Springdene family of North London care homes

Spring Grove is part of Springdene Care Homes, a small group of family-run homes that have been caring for older people in North London for many years. Alongside our Hampstead home, families looking for a care home in Enfield or surrounding areas can also explore our sister homes, all offering person-centred care, meaningful activities and a commitment to residents’ wellbeing.

If you were unable to join us on Valentine’s Day, you are very welcome to arrange a personal visit at a time that suits you. Our team will be delighted to show you around, introduce you to residents and answer any questions about finding the right care home in North London for yourself or a loved one.
