    More about Enriching Lives in Nursing and Care Homes

    Animal Therapy: A Unique Experience for All

    Our animal therapy sessions feature a diverse range of animals, including small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. These sessions are designed to provide residents with the joy and healing of animal interaction, even for those who are bed-bound.

     

    Bed Bound Tours

    We offer Animal Bed Bound Tours, allowing residents restricted to their beds to experience the wonder of our animals up close.

     

    Benefits of Animal Therapy:

    Emotional Support: Reduces feelings of loneliness and enhances mood through companionship.

    Social Interaction: Encourages connection among residents, fostering friendships and communication.

    Cognitive Stimulation: Engaging with animals promotes a positive mental alertness and cognitive function.

     

    Home Visits and Supported Accommodation

    We also offer tailored home visits for elderly and disabled individuals in supported accommodation. Our team brings the joy of animal therapy directly to their homes, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to experience the benefits of our programs, regardless of mobility limitations.

     

    Science Crafts: Ignite Creativity and Learning

    In addition to our animal therapy sessions, we offer various engaging science crafts that encourage creativity and hands-on learning. Participants can enjoy:

     

    Soap Making: Everyone can make and create their own unique soaps, enhancing fine motor skills while promoting relaxation.

     

    Bath Bomb Making: Residents can craft delightful bath bombs, providing a sense of accomplishment and personal expression.


    Sensory Science Sessions

    Our sensory science sessions are designed to stimulate the senses and encourage exploration:

    Sensory Bubbles: Engage in bubble experiments and create bubble art, promoting curiosity and fun.

    Sensory Slime Making: Participants can create different types of slime, exploring various textures and enhancing tactile awareness.

     

    Benefits of Science Crafts:

    Creativity and Expression: Crafting activities allow residents to express themselves and tap into their creativity.

     

    Cognitive Engagement: Engaging in hands-on activities stimulates problem-solving skills.

     

    Fine Motor Skills

    Craft-making improves dexterity and coordination.

     

    Combine Animal Therapy and Science Crafts

    Amazing experience with Harriet, we had a birthday party for a 22-year-old, and she was so lovely and explained everything very well. She gave us all enough time with each animal and even let us have Mango, the snake, around our necks while we held other creatures!
    Everyone had an amazing time, and the pictures came out wicked!! Even got a picture with Carlos the crested gecko on the birthday boy's head😆
    Thank you so much, Wild Science, and a big thank you to Harriet for being a great host☺️

    Wholly recommended the experience with Wild Science. From the telephone call through to the day itself, the team are professional and very communicative. Harriet was amazing with the animals and children. Our birthday girl and friends had such a great time petting the animals (as much or as little as they wanted to). Harriet had some wonderful facts to share and responded so sensitively and helpfully to answer all questions the children had. Thanks so much- it was a delight to have you for our daughter’s birthday party.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!!!

    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!
