We want to house them together in the same place and are looking at customising a large shed or building our own to fit the area to house the chickens, ducks, rabbit and guinea pig to ensure it is fully fox proof/weather proof and enough space to exercise over the weekend. We will be doing the obstacle course on Tuesday 13^th September and Thursday 15^th September 2022. Please get as many sponsors as possible. We are hoping to raise around £500

Cherubins day nursery new addition to the nursery family (Gabby the Gecko)

Mon 17 Jan 2022

As most of you are aware from the letters, emails and children's feedback our pet Gecko (Gabby) is settling in well she is at times in hiding and really does not like the cold. The children have started to handle her, getting her used to small fingers and quite voice. Gabby still at times finds the urge to run and hide in particular in Hannah's fur hoodie (hide and go seek Gabby).

The children have been helping to make sure that her food is clean and she is well fed, there are pictures on the news letter and on the website to show how caring the children have been towards new comer Gabby and all the pet family.

Our pet chickens adventures

Wed 01 Sep 2021

As most of our parents are aware we brought 3 lovely chicken back in March whilst out on our nursery trips to Godstone farm. It has been 5 months and what can I say they have settled in very well, the children have been caring for them and enjoyed petting and feeding them. They all have developed their own characters, and am pleased to say that they have been laying eggs for around 2 months. Little Edna makes the most noises when roosting and you can hear her all the way in the office, she also really does not appreciate it when our pet Rabbit Rosie pops in for a visit.

Wilamina is the leader of the pack and seems to rule the roost and Bertha is always front and centre at feeding time. They are so lovely and can say its been lovely for all seeing them blossom.

The children have been learning about caring for animals ensuring all the children get involved (as some children don't have animals at home to gain this experience). We have been learning where their food comes from and also started to look at self sufficiency. We have been including their eggs in some of the scrumptious meals Fabiana has cooked for us.
