Please see below important details for the session:
- Please let us know by email or Facebook message if you are unable to come to the group. If you persistently do not attend the group, we will have to cancel future bookings to allow as many people to enjoy the farm as possible. If given notice, we can then open up the space to others.
- We supply toddler friendly snacks on this session (see menu on website). If there are any allergies or dietry requirements, please let us know, and we would be happy to not serve that item.
- The group will go ahead even during the rain, so please dress yourself and child appropriately for the weather. We can supply some waterproof trousers in wet weather (limited).
- If your child is poorly, please do not attend and let us know so we can move your slot onto the following week. We have adults with learning disabilities and critical health needs on site, and cannot risk this passing onto them.
- The activities each week depending on weather and animals.
