Education · Wellbeing · Animal encounters
Curious questions, happy surprises and stories to take home. Nichola brings animal encounters to schools and care homes across Birmingham and Solihull, with kindness at the heart of every visit.
Our visits
From tiny first discoveries to stories shared over a lifetime, every visit leaves room to look closer, ask questions and enjoy the animals’ company.
Hands-on learning that brings classroom topics to life for schools, nurseries and after-school groups. Created by a teacher, for teachers.
Gentle encounters with time for conversation, memories and shared moments with residents, families and staff.
Real moments
A glimpse of the gentle encounters and conversations animals can bring to a care home.
“Animals first. Always.”
Our promise
We want people to leave with a deeper respect for living things. Visits are planned around the animals’ needs, with gentle interaction and responsible care at the centre.
Meet the team
The animals help turn an ordinary day into a story worth telling. Who attends each visit depends on the setting and their needs.
