"We were very grateful to have Cambridgeshire Wildlife Care visit us a couple of weeks ago. Everyone learnt something new - even the adults! The girls really enjoyed finding out all about the animals, with parents telling us afterwards that the badger was a firm favourite! They now feel confident that they’d be able to help hedgehogs in the future, too. Thank you for coming along."  - Alex, 1st Fordham Rainbows, February 2023

"We had the pleasure of welcoming Tara into our Early Years classes to talk to the children about Cambridgeshire Wildlife Care and the important role they play in Soham. Tara talked to the children about nocturnal animals and showed them some photographs. Some of these animals were ones that the children did not know and they were excited to learn the new names and a little bit about them. Tara helped the children to understand what they would need to do if they came across a hedgehog in the middle of the day and talked to them about being careful in the garden when raking up leaves or doing other gardening activities. The children learnt how Tara looks after the hedgehogs and what then happens to them once they are feeling better. They really enjoyed Tara's visit, which was age appropriate, educational and informative." - Amy, Reception Class Teacher, Weatheralls School Soham, January 2023

"The children have asked me to thank you for coming out to see them today.

We’d love it if  you could come back and talk to the children again at some point." - Kate, Fordham Preschool, June 2021

We hope our donation of pet food will help keep your rescue animals healthy and in tip top condition. Many thanks." - Mrs Thomas, Miss Dahling, Miss Murray, Mrs D-C, Mrs James, St Andrew's Primary School, Soham, September 2019

"Thank you Tara for your engaging talk on how to help the local wildlife. The children especially enjoyed  learning how they can help take care of hedgehogs in their own gardens, they were excited to share all their own hedgehog story’s with the group. Tara was passionate about her work, friendly and engaging with all the children. The children took part in a lovely animal identifying activity were they learnt the names of different local wildlife using picture cards. It’s so important that we teach children to care for animals and to help local wildlife thrive."  - Early Years Practitioner, Brookes Cambridge, April 2019
