Farm School
Ethos & Benefits
At our nursery we absolutely enjoy bringing learning to life! Whether it’s feeding our Raisin and Daisy- the guinea pigs, collecting eggs from the resident hens, or simply watching our donkeys Jasper and Blossom trot around the Orchard. These experiences give children an opportunity to build confidence, develop kindness, and enjoy the wonderful magic of nature. By welcoming and keeping animals at Nursery Days, we create a fun, engaging and nurturing space where children can learn and grow while making lots of magical memories with our animal friends.
Why are animals great for children?:
Looking after animals can teach responsibility and care and children learn how to be kind and nurturing. Animals create a happy space, they bring comfort and help children feel relaxed. Having animals makes learning even more fun and hands-on. For example, children help to make their habitat and learn about what each animal eats and needs.
Achieving tasks, like feeding animals or looking after their habitat, makes children feel proud and independent.
Caring for animals together builds social skills and cooperation.
Whether it’s counting the eggs, or feeding donkeys hay, children will enjoy fresh air, responsibilities and being outdoors.
Having animals really encourages a love for nature and respect for the environment.
