It is very important that children bring sensible, adequate clothing – plenty of normal old clothes as the children will get dirty!
Nethercott will provide the children with waterproof jackets and trousers to wear on the farm. It is important that children pack warm clothes (jumpers and sweatshirts) to wear underneath as the waterproofs do not provide much warmth. Any clothing item outside the waterproofs that is worn on the farm (ie. scarf, hat, gloves) CANNOT come back into the house for health and safety reasons. If children would like these items for inside the house or general play and activities, they will need to bring a second pair.
All clothing should be packed in ONE case or bag AND please send your child with at least ONE large labelled BIN LINER for dirty clothes.
PLEASE ENSURE ALL CLOTHING IS LABELLED (initials will do)
* THESE CLOTHING ITEMS ARE ESSENTIAL as they are worn at all times on the farm, whatever the weather.
