Sheila Lucciarini, head of childcare at Leeds City College, said: “This was a fantastic opportunity for our students to get hands-on experience working with babies and children in a unique setting.

“It allowed them to put theory into practice and engage with children through sensory play.

“It was also one of Jeffrey’s first roles as a pet therapy dog and he was brilliant with everyone.”
