"The animals were a much loved feature of our graduation week, thank you for providing such a wonderful experience. And what’s more, we couldn’t even tell you had been afterwards - everything was cleared up meticulously! "
Early Birds Day Nursery

"Can I just say a big thank you from Seymour Park. The children really enjoyed the visit and the relaxed informal approach worked so well with the Nursery children.
They have spent all afternoon looking at the photographs we have taken on the whiteboard and discussing the animals they saw.
We look forward to your visit again sometime in the future. "
Seymour Park Primary School
Manchester
"I would like to say a huge thank you to you and the staff for our farm visit. All the children in Nursery and Reception were thoroughly excited and learnt a lot. It was absolutely lovely to see lots of our children filled with happiness when seeing and touching the animals; it was truly magical!
Thank you once again and I am also looking into a Christmas visit from the reindeers! "
Kings Road Primary School

"The Mobile Farm has become an excellent attraction as part of our annual Green Fayre show at Beacon Country Park.
From start to finish Ben and his team are friendly, well-organised and a joy to work with.
The two-trailer setup is perfect for our show and can handle large numbers of visitors in an effective and safe manner. The kids (both young and old) love the attraction, the variety of animals is excellent and the staff are both knowledgeable and friendly when dealing with all age groups.
Our show would not be the success that it is without high quality displays such as this"

"The two ladies were just lovely, Marion was in charge and was just so friendly and welcoming and really encouraged the children to get involved, even when at first some were apprehensive."
Ready Steady Downs
"It was well set up and the animals were very friendly. The two staff spoke to the children at the appropriate level and gave them a lot of information. They answered some very excited children’s questions patiently and informatively. They coaxed any nervous children to overcome their fears.
Thank you."
Euxton Primrose Hill Primary School
"The nursery children loved meeting the different animals. It gave the children chance to touch a variety of animals in a small group setting that may not have been feasible on an actual visit to a farm. The process of booking the farm and the actual setting up and clearing away on the day was extremely efficient."
Navigation Primary School, Altrincham
"We thoroughly enjoyed the day - the children are still talking about it now and it was the highlight of a very successful outdoor learning week.
Thank you also to the staff for their positive feedback on the children and staff.
The time allowed at the end of the day for the parents to visit the farm really finished the day off, the support from the parents was great and the staff were helpful, friendly and informative.
Thank you, we hope we can see you again soon!"
Cledford Primary School, Middlewich
"The staff were excellent and well prepared. They were very patient with our children and allowed the school to run smoothly with very little interruption.
Parents report how much they enjoyed learning about the animals."

"This was a wonderful experience for our 2-4 year olds and they all absolutely loved it! Every child was able to see, touch and find out about a broad range of farm animals close up. The information given was perfectly tailored to the age group. The animals were so gentle and docile that even the most timid children were joining in and stroking them by the end of the session and thoroughly enjoying it!
I will definitely book the mobile farm again and recommend it to other schools and organisations."

"Farms are a magical place for children – but also for adults – as Mobile Farm’s wonderful “Farm for a Day” event proved: they supplied a day of happiness and excitement for every member of our school. Professionally run and expertly delivered, the day was a hugely positive experience for all of our pupils and staff: the Mobile Farm staff answered questions patiently and explained animal facts at a wide range of levels – our children were entranced and learnt so much. An added benefit of this superbly organized Mobile Farm that we hadn’t foreseen was the huge boost to everyone’s mental well-being: as our pupils handled and discussed the animals under the guidance of the Mobile Farm team, you could see them visibly relax as they processed the new information and emotions they were experiencing in the open air. What a lovely treat – thank you so very much for bringing so much joy to our school for the day."

Thank you and please pass our thanks on to Marion and Ben."
Angela, Mini Farm, Worsley

"Thank you to Fisher’s Farm for yet another truly wonderful afternoon at the Victoria Gallery & Museum, University of Liverpool.
Their third visit to us, the farm afternoons are by far our most popular family event. The families love meetings all the animals and finding out more about them from Liz, Richard and their team, all of whom are very knowledgeable and friendly.
The team is extremely professional, bringing everything with them including gazebos in case of rain and handwashing facilities if requested and clearing away fully at the end of the day. Entirely self-sufficient and no bother which is just what I need on these busiest of days!
Thank you once again for making our Easter event such a success and we look forward to working with you again in the future."

"Hello
Just a big thank you to everyone involved in Saturday's farm experience - its hard to tempt my mum Betty Platt out but she was determined to see the animals, and it banked a good memory for me and my brother.
I know Evelyn really enjoyed the day and was talking about it on Sunday- " it makes me feel human" she said, while stoking a large white duck on Saturday... tears for everyone!
Again many thanks for the hard work from everyone in doing this, the ladies from the mobile farm were so lovely, patient and affectionate to the residents ...
Thanks for letting me hold a goat too - it made me very happy!!!
Happy Easter
Love

"We were extremely impressed with your visit to our school. The whole set up was well-organised, attractive and clean, with a good variety of animals and with a canopy over our heads we didn’t even notice the wet weather.
You engaged the children at their level and even some often challenging children were attentive and enthusiastic.
Children who were timid to begin with grew in confidence and were happy to stroke the animals by the end.
The animals were delightful – so friendly and patient.
We had a very enjoyable and worthwhile morning.
To look at the site afterwards no one would have known you had been there!"

"As part of our ‘Down on the Farm’ themed week in June at Burnley Brow Primary School (Oldham) I booked ‘mobilefarm.biz’ for 3 days & I couldn’t have been happier with this choice. Right from the start, the staff were fantastic. The farm was well organised & clean, & the varieties of animals were friendly, happy & obviously well cared for.
The farm staff led brilliant sessions with small groups of our children, asking them questions & engaging them with interesting facts about the animals. The children were encouraged to touch the animals & to have their own questions answered. The variety of animals was impressive, as was the amount of display & information boards around the farm.
Children from Nursery through to Year 6 visited the farm & all were completely engaged in their visit. The older children were challenged with their knowledge about farming & farm animal use & all came away knowing many new things, & for the younger children it was probably the first time they had seen such animals.
There was a real buzz for learning around school during this theme & this fantastic farm made this all possible. I would highly recommend to any school for any age."
Katie Bradley
Assistant Headteacher
Burnley Brow Primary, Oldham

The farm staff had a lovely manner when talking to our children & the animals were very tame & happy to be stroked. It was a wonderful experience for all of our children & I'm sure that they will never forget it!
We invited parents to join us & the feedback from parents has been fantastic. It was an enjoyable to day for children, staff & parents.
The mobile farm staff were friendly & accommodating & they made time for ks1 to visit the animals as a whole key stage over lunch time to make the most of every second of their visit!

"I booked Fisher’s Mobile Farm for The Bromley Cross Summer Fayre in Bolton. It’s a huge community fair attended this year by approx. 10,000 people. The mobile farm was a massive attraction for children & adults alike & was worth every penny, & will have no hesitation in booking them again next year. They are reliable, professional & great with the visitors. They are completely self-contained setting up & dismantling their pens with no fuss whatsoever. Anyone thinking of booking them for their event, can, with complete confidence.”
Councillor David Greenhalgh, Bolton Council

They [the photos] look fantastic, it's a wonderful memory of a fabulous day. In preschool we had Ofsted that day who visited the farm with one of the groups & he loved it.

We hope to see you again in the future."
