Home Educator Seasonal WorkshopInfo Location Contact More Info Event Information
DescriptionWe are offering seasonal workshops for home education groups at Ness Gardens. With such a diverse audience we know our workshops won’t appeal to everyone. We have tried to include as much information as possible so you know what you are booking in advance and can decide if these workshops are suitable for you.
Event Location
More InformationAge range The workshops are designed for children aged 5 years and over. Well-behaved non-participating younger siblings are welcome. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times, we work to a maximum of 3 children:1 adult ratio to ensure all children are supervised and can get the most out of the session. If children have additional needs or are under the age of 5 we would request a 2:1 ratio. We set a maximum number of children for the activity, this can vary depending on what the activity involves. Due to health and safety considerations we are unable to increase the number of children or number of people at the event. It is first come first served. Cost The workshop costs £10 per child which includes free entry for one adult. Please make sure you reserve a space for any children participating. If you are also bringing along younger siblings (under 5) they are free of charge but will not be provided with workshop materials. Please still reserve an ‘Under 5’ space for them. Without reserving a space for them we cannot guarantee we would have availability, we have to work within our maximum numbers for health and safety. Information There will be a maximum of 12 children per workshop, we have chosen to have smaller groups to allow children the opportunity to ask questions and interact with each other. Workshops may take place inside our coach house classroom and outside in the garden- providing a mix of environment for different learning needs. Please dress accordingly for the weather.
