CLEVER youngsters took a walk on the wild side when the Blue Cross Animal Sanctuary paid them a visit.

Pupil's from Marlbrook Pre-School, which meets at St Luke's Church Centre, Braces Lane, Bromsgrove, were rewarded with the visit after receiving a very good Ofsted report.

Children got the chance to look at, hold and learn about some of the animals the sanctuary cares for at its Wildmoor Lane centre in Catshill.

Owners of the pre-school, Tina and Diane, said: "We would like to thank the children, parents, carers and staff for their continued help and support."
