Lunch

Please send your child with a packed lunch, we will have small snacks available and sometimes we will cook our own snacks but this is in addition to a lunch provided from home.  Please also supply a named water bottle which can be re-filled during the day as required.

What to Wear

Acorn Hollow is located on a working farm, that means we work whatever the weather, there may be mud, there may be rain, we might have wonderful bright warm sunshine, there will be animal poo underfoot in places.  Please make sure you wear appropriate clothing, clothes and shoes that are allowed to get muddy are essential.  If you have wellies and waterproofs please bring them with you.  The more layers you can wear the better, that way we can add or take off layers depending on the weather.  During warmer weather please ensure you still wear long trousers or leggings, it would be advisable to apply sun cream before the sessions also as we will be in the sun for much of the time.  

Medical Information and Allergies

Please make sure you have informed me of any essential medical information or allergies.  We will be providing Hot Chocolate and snacks, we will have ‘Free From’ alternatives if we are told about dietary requirements.

We recommend that pregnant women avoid attending during the lambing season (March-April) due to the slight risk of the transmission of Zootronic infection from our animals.  These are generally transmitted through direct contact with lambing animals.  Pregnant women are at an increased risk of complications from infection.

Hand Washing/Safety

Safety instructions will be delivered at the start of the session.  We will encourage children to wash and sanitise their hands at various points during the session, please could you ensure you help your children to make sure their hands are clean before leaving the site.

General Policies and Privacy Policy

Having Fun

Our priority for the session is to make sure everyone has fun and leave with a smile!
