Nursery schools

We offer a range of services for nursery school pupils, including:

  • full education visits
  • self-guided education visits
  • outreach service.

All our options are based around the theme of Let's Look at Animals.

This topic aims to get children thinking about a range of ideas, rather than one particular theme.

During full education and outreach visits, pupils are encouraged to study an animal's colours and patterns, texture, movements, food habits and key features.

For more information or to book, call us on 028 9077 6277 (extensions 204 or 228).
