Bring the countryside into the classroom with Fishers Mobile Farm
Our visits fulfil important elements of the National Curriculum, all within the safe environment of your school or nursery.
School, Nursery & Playgroup Visits
We bring our farm to you - significantly less expensive than transporting your groups to a farm!
( Please note that we have a maximum policy of 20 children per group and 250 per day )
We offer an exciting opportunity
for children of all ages to experience farm life without leaving your school, nursery, or playgroup grounds.By introducing children to a range of farm animals in a safe, well organised environment, we will provide an experience that motivates to produce quality work with links across the National Curriculum.
We will leave your school grounds clean & tidy.
Arrival at your school will be around 1 hour before your visit begins, to set up the farm -
- All we need is access for our towing cars & trailers & enough room to set up our pens - about 20m x 20m - either grass or hard standing is OK. Playground, sports field or even your staff car park would be suitable.
- There will usually be 2 or 3 of us from Fishers Mobile Farm, but would ask you to supply an appropriate number of teachers/adults for child supervision.
- You will need hand washing facilities or we can bring mobile sinks.
- In accordance with DEFRA regulations, no other livestock can be present in the area.
- If you have any special requirements, please let us know.
We have gazebos to keep your children & our animals dry if it rains, or cool if sunny!
All our animals are securely enclosed in pens allowing children to be close to the animals in a safe & fun environment.
Our visits include: (dependant on your requests)
- Time for the children to wander among the pens, chat to us & meet our animals.
- Being close to animals they may never have met before.
- Meeting the individual animals as a group activity: discussing breeds & their differences, what each animal eats, where each animals lives & where do they sleep, how our animals stay fit & healthy & answering questions.
- Most importantly; it's a fun day for all!
Here is an example timetable from a school which we visit regularly, with 15 children in each group.
Please Contact Us to request an available date.
You are very welcome to call us and discuss your needs.
