"Thank you for a fantastic School trip yesterday. All the children had a great time at the farm. I think the tractor and trailer ride was their firm favourite.

Your staffing team were very helpful and welcoming to everyone. Which was also commented on by one of our parent helpers. Everything happened as and when it should, which made the day run smoothly.

We hope to see you all again in 2027."
