What we'll do
Animal Handling and SEN Play - Our sessions start with animal handling. All children are asked to sit in a comfortable beanbag in a circle. Once everyone has introduced themselves and hand sanitised, our animal handler will bring round the first of 4 different animals and ask each child if they would like to look, stroke or hold. These animals can be exotic and therefore an education and discussion is had with the group about where they originate from, what their diets consist of, what type of environment they need and so forth. This is repeated three more times with hand sanitising completed in between each animal. The children are then asked to vote which animal was their favourite. Children can then explore our wide range of our sensory equipment, around the room, to help with their cognitive learning, physical movement on our interactive floor mats and soft play Sensory equipment and they also have the opportunity to make friends with other peers by sharing and playing on the equipment together, this is facilitated by the HugglePets Staff and family members. Near the end of the session, children are given an animal activity booklet to take home and are then sent on a quest to find a certain animal in the centre.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
