Emily’s Mini Farm provides engaging, curriculum-linked educational visits for schools, nurseries, and educational settings, bringing safe and meaningful access to nature directly to your site. Our mobile farm visits are designed to support learning, wellbeing, and personal development through calm, supervised interaction with farm animals.
We understand that schools and early years settings are under increasing pressure to deliver high-quality learning experiences that support children’s understanding of the natural world while meeting safeguarding and duty-of-care requirements. Our educational visits are carefully structured to provide hands-on learning opportunities that complement classroom teaching and support curriculum objectives.
Learning Through Animal Encounters
Our educational visits allow pupils to learn about animals in a memorable, practical way. Children can observe animal behaviour, learn about animal care and welfare, and ask questions in a supportive environment. Sessions can be adapted to suit different age groups, from Early Years and KS1 through to KS2, and can be tailored to link with topics such as:
- Animals and their needs
- Life cycles and habitats
- Food production and farming
- Responsibility, empathy, and respect for living things
Hands-on experiences help bring learning to life, supporting curiosity, communication skills, and confidence. For many children, meeting animals up close also helps strengthen emotional wellbeing and encourages positive social interaction.
Safe, Structured and Fully Managed
All educational visits are fully supervised and professionally managed by Emily’s Mini Farm. We provide a calm, structured experience where animal welfare and participant safety are always the priority. Schools can be confident that every visit is delivered in line with safeguarding and health and safety expectations.
Our educational visits include:
- Full public liability insurance
- Written risk assessments for all activities
- A comprehensive animal health and welfare policy
- Clear handwashing and hygiene procedures
- DBS-checked staff
- Defined supervision ratios
- Emergency procedures in place at every visit
We manage all aspects of animal care, setup, and supervision, allowing teaching staff to focus on learning outcomes and pupil engagement.
Supporting Access to Nature and Wellbeing
Emily’s Mini Farm educational visits support schools in providing inclusive access to nature, particularly where off-site visits may be difficult. By bringing animals directly to your setting, we offer a practical and accessible way to enhance learning, wellbeing, and pupils’ connection to the natural world.
Whether you are planning a one-off enrichment day or looking to build regular nature-based learning into your school year, Emily’s Mini Farm offers flexible educational visits tailored to your needs.
