Foundation Level Topics

Our Foundation level program’s help teach younger children to have a positive attitude towards wildlife. All topics are National Curriculum linked, designed for little ones and perfected to help promote social and attention skills, confidence building along with communication. Our animals are chosen for their suitability and calmness. We actively encourage all children to partake, however our presenter will never push, judge or force an individual into touching or holding something they are unwilling to. All talks are linked to the EYFS Profile and Assessment Scale, science based.

Mini beasts: Looking and learning about ‘animals with no bones’. We use a range of tropical animals similar to ones found in your own gardens, just on a larger scale for little hands.
