TERMS & CONDITIONS

All children must be accompanied by a supervising adult – ideally no more than 5 children per adult. All children remain the responsibility of their supervising adult at all times – we have areas of climbing, water, sand and animals and remind supervising adults to be vigilant. Please ensure that if children play with the toys they are not taken out into the large main field where they could cause an injury or illness to one of the animals.

 

We check toys after each visit, please note that we reserve the right to charge for any lost, stolen or damaged item. Our natural play area tree trunk, hills, Stepping stones and trampoline! Please note that it is not a soft play area, so please ensure that your children are supervised during their stay, ensuring young children understand that wooden structures are not as soft as a soft play area. You are welcome to use the play equipment at your own risk. We cannot accept responsibility for any loss, damage or injury.

 

The risk of infection from farm visits is very small, but the diseases caused can be very serious. By following simple guidelines, similar to everyday basic hygiene recommendations, the risk can be easily minimised. Please ensure that hands are washed after contact with animals and always before eating, with soap and water (wipes, gels and sprays are not effective).

 

Please only feed the animals with specified food – other food could be fatal to the animals. Visitors are not permitted to enter into the enclosures unless supervised by a member of staff as part of an organised activity. As with all animals, anything with a mouth can bite! Please ensure children feed animals from a flat palm (except the pigs) or tip the feed into the enclosure. Please make sure your plastic container is returned to the white cupboard.
