The learning farm is an amazing place for 2-5 year olds because of the space, something that many young children do not experience at pre-school or at home. Under guidance they can pick flowers, tree leaves, crop plants, grasses and berries which enriches the experience further. Pond dipping is a firm favourite with most of the pre-schools that have visited and there is great excitement when a child catches something that zooms around their bucket at speed like a water boatman or dragon fly nymph.
