About our educational visits
We appreciate we are very lucky to have a farm on our school site and wanted to give everyone the opportunity to come along and learn a bit about the animals here. We thought it would be a lovely idea to open the farm up to hosting educational sessions to nursery's, child minders, schools and care homes.
Each session we have is different so we discuss with the person who want to visit what their goal is for the session, is they want to have more of a hands on or off session and how long they plan to stay for. After this our team then makes a rough plan of the session and sends it over for approval then we wait for your arrival.
Unfortunately, we cannot provide transportation but there is a bus stop near the school on Childsbridge Lane.

Testimonials
"Dear Seals Community Farm Team,
I am writing to share some feedback on the wonderful experience Kids Play and Learn Pre-school recently had visiting your farm.
From our initial contact to arrange the visit, Florence was incredibly helpful and readily available to assist with all our needs. We were very impressed with the organization and the suggested timetable, which helped the day run so smoothly. We especially appreciated the generous offer to include an additional two hours in your school forest.
The children absolutely loved the opportunity to feed the animals, and we thank Florence for kindly providing the appropriate food for each. Her guidance in preparing food for the chickens and directing their feeding, all the while sharing interesting information about the animals, was fantastic.
The forest school experience was also a highlight, with the children thoroughly enjoying the tree swings, the huge mud kitchen, and all the other wonderful features.
Overall, we had such a positive and memorable experience, and we would love to visit again next year. Thank you to the entire team at Seals Community Farm. A special thank you to Florence, whose friendly attitude and helpfulness with the children truly made the whole experience unforgettable.
All the best,
Sadete Halilaj" - Kids play and learn nursery
"Our recent visits to Seal Community School Farm have been truly memorable. On our first trip, we had the joy of cuddling the adorable piglets — an experience our daughters, aged 2 and 4, absolutely loved. We were thrilled to return the following week for another cuddle session and came back again a few months later for a special opportunity to feed the lambs. This was a particular highlight, with lots of giggles from our girls, much to the delight of other visitors!
Florence and the team at the farm are always incredibly welcoming, kind, and patient, answering all the many questions our curious daughters had. Their encouragement and support made the experience even more enjoyable, and they were always on hand to help around the farm.
We feel incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful little farm so close to where we live. It’s a fantastic initiative for the school and a real asset to the local community.
We absolutely love visiting Seal Community School Farm and look forward to returning again very soon!
