We are super excited to introduce 2 very special new members to Team Catrine, who will be joining us this week 🙂
A very good friend was looking to rehome 2 Guinea Pigs and we were delighted to offer our support and care.
Part of our improvement plan for next year is to work towards further developing our nurture principles. With this in mind we had been looking into welcoming small animals into the setting to help support children’s mental health and wellbeing as well as to teach them real life skills in caring for animals.
The children will be responsible for helping to clean out POPPET and SANDY’s cage as well as ensuring they have food and water. They have come from a home with 2 young children and are used to being handled.
At holiday times they will join our own families, starting with Alana and then Michelle during the summer holidays.
Full risk assessments will be in place as always.
If anyone wishes their child NOT TO BE involved in experiences with Poppet and Sandy please OPT OUT by sending an email to alana.speirs@eastayrshire.org.uk
