Detaljer

Calling all animal-loving adventurers! (ages 5-12yrs)

Come join us at Little Acorns Farm for our hands-on weekly activity group where you'll meet the cutest, cuddliest, curious and most definitely cheekiest goats, chickens honey bees and soon.. ducks!

Each week, the young farmers will roll up their sleeves and get stuck into real small-scale farm life:

  • Feeding and caring for our animals
  • Learning all about their life cycles, what they eat and drink and how to look after them
  • Working as a team with kindness and camaraderie, team games and activities
  • Forage for safe wild goat feed and collect eggs
  • Inspect beehives and learn about the lifecycle of the bees
  • Groom the goats and help build enrichment obstacles
  • Learn about composting, vegetable growing and permaculture sustainable farming
  • Help to repair fences and enclosures using simple tools under safe tuition
  • Take home farm-friendly crafts for keepsakes

Plus- earn a 'Farm Friends' Badge at the end of term as you learn about each of our animals!

Small group size (max 8) means spaces are limited.

Run by experienced and trained outdoor leaders and members of the PVG Scheme, fully insured and risk-assessed with thorough animal biosecurity in place.

Please note that we are unable to provide 1:1 supervision for children with additional support needs. Attending children must be able to follow basic safety instructions such as keeping in boundaries, safe tool use with guidance and supervision and road safety. If you need to remain at sessions to support your child please get in touch to discuss further.

WEATHER
Our holistic learning ethos is all about play outdoors no matter the weather. There is no such thing as bad weather as the saying goes... We have plenty of shelters available, as well as a yurt and any that the children choose to build!

However, there are certain weather conditions that will affect the running of the group where deemed unsafe- namely high winds (above 40mph), electrical storms and severe snow and ice.

The staff will stay informed of the weather conditions. We will always try to give 24 hours notice of closure, however we may need to cancel on the day if weather changes suddenly / overnight. We will inform parents by text and email. In the case of cancellation we aim to reschedule the session.

POLICIES
We can explain and show you all our policies and many can be found on our website for parents to view, under ‘Policies’.
