More about Care and Nursing Homes

Wild Science provide thrilling experiences for you and your residents, ensuring our activities cater to everyone, regardless of age or ability. Bringing engaging activities to care and nursing homes is essential, helping keep both minds and hands active. Taking care of social health and well-being is equally crucial. Care homes can effectively address these needs by offering a variety of wonderful activities that enhance the quality of life and bring much-needed structure to daily routines.

Animals:

Animals visiting your care or nursing home can offer numerous therapeutic advantages. Our goal is to enhance the quality of life for your residents, and incorporating animals is an excellent way to achieve that. Having a cuddly companion can provide immediate comfort and create a sense of peace. Interacting with animals can also stimulate the release of oxytocin, which helps reduce stress and anxiety for both humans and animals involved. Our visits can help trigger happy memories from the past in individuals as well as create new ones.

Wild Science highly suggests Animal Therapy sessions for care and nursing homes. Engaging with a diverse range of animals, including reptiles, mammals, amphibians, and invertebrates, can be incredibly beneficial. Experience the unique textures, sounds, and colours that these animals bring, enhancing the overall experience. Explore the diverse range of animals and appreciate their gentle nature. Witness the marvels of the animal kingdom right in the comfort of your own home.

Science:

Science has the power to brighten your day with fresh experiences you might not have tried before. Engaging residents in scientific activities offers a range of benefits, including enhancing cognitive abilities, boosting moods, and fostering a sense of accomplishment, all of which significantly improve their overall well-being.

Our science topics are closely connected to Sensory Therapy, as our senses play a crucial role in how we perceive and see the world. Without them, life can feel bland and colourless. We've developed topics designed to awaken your senses and enhance your mood, allowing you to explore a variety of textures, scents, and visuals.

Bath bombs, soap, and slime-making have become increasingly popular in care and nursing homes as they offer a wonderful sensory experience. This activity allows individuals to personalise their creations by selecting their favourite colours, scents, and shapes. Additionally, they can keep their finished products or even share them as gifts with friends and family.

While we suggest these topics for your event, we are also open to offering additional options. We can tailor our approach to match your preferences and ensure you receive the desired experience. Please note that specific topics may be more challenging to facilitate based on the number of attendees.

If there is a specific topic you wish to explore that is not listed on our website, do not hesitate to inform us. So, we will create a customised session for you. Contact our office with your requests or any modifications you would like to make concerning a particular topic, and we will gladly assist you with
your needs.

An unforgettable experience. Your kids will love it! We had Susie in Edinburgh, she was exceptionally good - with the animals and the kids, and the grown-ups too! We all had an amazing time. I highly recommend booking Susie for Wild Science if you're in Scotland. So many memories made!

Chloe Robson

Suzie held an event in Sandylands holiday park today and we had a ball! every animal is well cared for and beautiful. very versed on each animals needs and nature, took the time to explain certain facts and even sat down at the end of her time to talk more on her other animals! cannot recommend suzie enough!!

Ajay Syal

We booked a corporate animal therapy session as part of Mental Health Awareness week, and it was truly loved by everyone. [...] Harriet was absolutely fantastic - super knowledgable, engaging and clearly passionate about every animal she introduced us to. [...] Harriet created such a calm environment that even our more hesitant colleagues were soon happily holding the snake. We can't recommend Wild Science highly enough - if you're looking to boost morale, reduce stress or just do something a little bit different for your team.

Susie was at Parkdean in Saltcoats and it was a fantastic experience. Very knowledgeable and chatted and answered questions from children and adults. Loved it.

Made my child's summer holding a royal python!

Shannagh Aitken

Attended a group with my husband & kids. Youngest being 1 & it was incredible. Different kinds of animals, was able to hold what we could & pet the rest.
Thanks again for the incredible experience! Fidget was amazing & we are now thinking if adding ferrets to the family. I hope fidget enjoys his chicken 🐔

The lady was going to name a cockroach 🪳 after my son Leon 🤣 poor kid was peed and pooped on, it was sooo funny! Everyone had such a great time. Thanks for entertaining us. 😆

Animal visit (Summer Fair Gilmerton Community Centre)
The management committee would like to thank Susie and trainee Amy for bringing the animals to the Community Centres Summer Fair. Once again, they were very popular with adults and children. Those attending said they enjoyed meeting and learning about the animals up close.

Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre

We were delighted to have both Shannon & Amy attend our free family event at Crystal Peaks shopping centre this Friday. Their communication on the run-up to our event was great. On the day, the head office called us to check everything was ready & the hosts arrived in plenty of time. We had a lot of very excited guests that got to enjoy a range of fascinating creatures throughout the day. The team were great with the public & very knowledgeable about their little critters. We can't recommend Wild Science enough. Thank you for making our day so good.

Des Best

The animal expert we were lucky enough to have from wild science was excellent. She even managed to keep the kids at a 7 year old birthday party relatively quiet and very interested. Would highly recommend.

Toni

It was a wonderful day had by all, the adults and children really had a great time every animal was explained in great detail and we will be booking them for further events

Dani Jaff Klein

My son (4) and his friends had the most wonderful time! The scientist was totally able to engage their attention for over an hour and they had fun and learned so much too! Thanks for the best party!

Leah Lorentson

We have used Wild Science for 3 years at our school. Each year they deliver wonderful sessions to Nursery and Reception children. We have never had any issues and would recommend them to everyone. The children love the experience and the animals and staff are amazing!

Jason Ewart

Thank you Wild Science for such an amazing party! Amy was super professional and had the kids eating out of the palm of her hand. My son absolutely loved the animals she brought and we were so impressed with how she handled the group (of 3-5 year olds) and gave them interesting and fun facts about each animal which kept all the kids interested and engaged. It was so much fun, we would highly recommend it!!!

Jasmine Pierce

Ross was absolutely amazing. So patient, kind and knowledgeable of the animals and the slime workshop. We had a party of 20 and with the madness that ensued he was always calm and reassuring for each child if they were apprehensive of holding any animal - big or small. Would 100% book Wild Science again, especially Ross.
Thank you for making our animal lovers birthday so special!

Lucia Williams

Ross came to my sons 3rd birthday, he was brilliant, the kids had a great time, the whole thing was really relaxed and everyone got a good amount of time with the animals and really enjoyed the experience - the customer service beforehand was really good, great communication and lots of questions answered - highly recommend!
