The children had lots of questions and were all answered effectively. The pace of the activities and content of the day was exactly what we had hoped for.

Prior to our visit we had read a variety of books in the Percy the Park keeper series in prepartion. On returning to school, we created more natural frames to capture moments near our pond and wildlife area, which inspired writing.

The enthusiasm of your staff and the response of the children. They were all involved in tasks and the whole morning session was planned carefully and tailored to our needs.

As a larger group consisting of 4/5 year olds, we were impressed with how you could accommodate us and tailor activities and the timetable to our needs, we look forward to visiting again soon.

We always have a lovely time at Margrove. The staff are amazing and make us feel very welcome. Activities are improved and adapted year on year. The children really enjoy the visit as it is very well organised. Thank you

Thank you for a very special visit. We had many positive comments from parents and children and lots of adults said they would be visiting the park more often as a result of our trip. All activities planned were enjoyed and parents and staff will be using your ideas again. Thank you.
