NURSES at a luxury care home in the Cirencester area were treated to a scrumptious afternoon tea to mark a special occasion. 

Residents and kitchen staff at Stratton Court Village prepared the mouth-watering spread for the care home's dedicated nursing team to celebrate International Nurses Day on Sunday, May 12. 

Peter Lloyd, sales director at Stratton Court, said: "Nurses play a pivotal role in the daily lives of residents at Stratton Court, providing not only medical assistance but also emotional support and companionship.
