Further information and pricing for schools and pre-schools

 Sessions or workshops will ideally be an absolute minimum of one hour in length wherever possible, with longer sessions than this certainly being preferable in most cases to provide children with the opportunity to meet as many animals as possible!

The maximum number of children / students per session or workshop is 35 if any animal handling is to be offered, with larger numbers able to be catered for if handling is not required and if sessions are to be planned which make use of the video camera as described in more detail on the School Topics page.

I can obviously be very flexible with regard to session lengths to allow for the organisation of the school day in individual schools.  Workshops covering different topics can be combined in a full day booking, please ask for details.

Pricing structure

Single 1-hour session:  £100*

Full morning in school: (e.g. three x 1-hour workshops):  £175* (N.B. I will not require a break between morning sessions)

Full afternoon: (e.g. two x 1-hour workshops):  £150*

Full day in school:  £275*

* N.B. If travelling outside of the Swindon area fuel expenses will be charged at 40p/mile, and for bookings in locations which involve a 40-mile (or more) round trip from my home there will be an additional charge of £20 per 40 total miles travelled.  In some locations part-day bookings may not be available, please ask for more information.

If I am visiting your school for a full day I am more than happy to stay on for a short time directly after the end of the school day, free of charge, to enable members of staff to meet the wonderful animals more closely if they would like to! 

Alternatively I will be happy to discuss with you the possibility of inviting parents/carers in for a free after-school session, so that they have the opportunity to see what the children have experienced and been learning about during the day, please enquire if this is of interest.
