Zookeepers visit Young Ones Nursery

Posted by Chris Longhurst on Feb 25, 09 10:27 AM in

CHILDREN got the chance to act out their ambitions of becoming zoo keepers when a range of exotic animals descended on their nursery.

The Animal Workshop visited the toddlers at The Young Ones Nursery, in Gatting Way, Uxbridge as part of their 'What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up' week.

Animals on show included a skunk, a giant toad, snakes, tortoises, stick insects, ferrets, cockroaches, and lizards.

Becky Thompson, nursing manager, said: "It was very good, all of the kids enjoyed it.
"they liked the toad the best and also enjoyed the ferret doing a dance.

"The kids were all also able to take home a cuddly toy, the parents were all very happy."

Also as part of the activity week, the nursery had visits from the police, the fire brigade, and the army, all hoping to inspire the children onto greater things.
