Tots on tour

c h i l d c a r e s e r v i c e s
Does your child love animals?
One place we visit is a Donkey Facilitated Learning centre.
Your child will get to do the following activities:
alpaca walking, donkey grooming and feed other animals, as well as play in the park and sit down and enjoy lunch together.

When children interact with animals, they build the all-important senses of connection, empathy and caring. They feel a sense of responsibility and are curious to find out more about the animal. Helping there personal, social and emotional development which is part of EYSF.

Farm visits🐮
Some farm we will be visiting
- Hall Hill Farm
- Adventure Valley
- Northumberland Country Zoo
- Kirkley Hall Zoological Garden
& more!

Interacting with animals supports their learning and development, and gives children the opportunity to learn how to be gentle and responsible for others.

Sensory Development
Toddlers and pre-schoolers discover all about their world through seeing, hearing and touching. Stroking and interacting with animals at close touch teaches children how various textures feel, for example the wiry texture of a sheep or the soft fur of a rabbit. Farm animals provide the perfect opportunity to develop listening skills too. The various animal noises will help children identify the animals’ unique sounds.

Motor skills development
Throughout a toddlers life, fine & gross motors kills are constantly being developed. We can help develop their fine motor skills with small movements, such as picking grass, offering the animals food or holding a brush to groom them.
We can help to develop gross motor skills by running, skipping, climbing etc. 

Language development
Spending time with animals is a great and fun way for your child to develop their language skills, whether that being them trying to communicate with the animals or learning new words like cow, snout, grass etc

Times & days
Please note we currently only have 7 spaces available and we have a fair amount of interest already!
