What we'll do
The holiday club will be taking place at Woad Farm, Hanslope, Milton Keynes, MK19 7NE. Your map might suggest Woad Farm Bed and Breakfast, this is correct. Sessions allow children and young people to engage up and close with animals, supporting with feeding, bedding, cleaning, grooming and engaging with the farm animals and smaller animals. We also have an amazing forest area which children have private access to, to build forts and dens, help prepare bird and squirrel feeders and generally enjoy being in an environment surrounded by nature. At the farm we have a range of animals including: Goats, Ducks, Sheep, Cows, Pigs, Rabbits, Chickens and Guinea pigs. Our SEND specific session has a small group focus, keeping staff ratios high to provide support. Our staff are specialised in supporting individuals who have experienced one of the following; (or similar) trauma, anxiety, low wellbeing or self esteem, neurodivergent disgnosis. Unfortunately due to the location of the farm, we are not wheelchair accessible. This session would not be suitable for children with a high level of need (for example, who would be unable follow instructions to keep themselves safe and participate in a small group setting). We do offer 1:1 session, please get in touch for more information. At this session, adults/carers are welcome to join if needed but this is not necessary.

The Woad Farm Project
Getting young people outside with animals!
The Woad Farm Project is a not-for-profit farm, set up to support the wellbeing of children and young people in Milton Keynes and surrounding areas. We have a particular focus on looked after or care-experienced children, but are driven by the opportunity to share the benefits of animals, nature and the outdoors to all children. Sessions leaders are fully DBS checked and First Aid trained too.

Cancellation Policy
Cancel at least 48 hours before the start to receive a full refund.We are generous with our rescheduling and cancelling policy although it remains at management’s discretion. Please help us by giving at least 48 hours notice by email or phone. We are an all-weather facility and cannot refund or reschedule due to wet weather but are happy to help if you are prevented from using your session due to illness or accident. We do not refund if you do not turn up and then contact us later as we will have arranged staff for your session. Cancelling less than 48 hours before booking or no-show, we are unable to refund your money in this situation, nor offer you another visit. Prior to this time frame, we can look to rearrange your session at the management’s discretion.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
