On Tuesday 13th October, Tim Murphy from Town and Country Vet in Market Harborough, popped along to see our Pre-School children, in connection with our role play corner, which this month has been turned into a vetinery surgery. Tim spent time discussing with the children the importance of taking pets and animals to the vets to make them better. Tim brought along with him two pet rats. The children throughly enjoyed touching and stroking them, and the rats didn’t seem to mind either!……….Many thanks to Tim for coming in and having a chat….
