Educational Visits at Attenborough Nature Reserve
Since opening in March 2005, Attenborough Nature Centre has been visited by thousands of pupils from local schools and provided them with a range of hands-on activities which are enjoyable, memorable, relevant and designed to bring them closer to their natural environment.
The Centre houses The Willow Den, a well-equipped classroom area which is an ideal base for exploring and investigating the habitats on the Reserve including its ponds, trees, and meadow area.
Our qualified education team are very experienced in working with groups of children and young people. Sessions are led by members of staff and often assisted by dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers. All staff and volunteers are CRB checked and our leaders are first aid qualified.
All necessary considerations are given to health and safety, and we work with teachers in advance to select appropriate activities and plan your visit. All necessary equipment and activity sheets are provided for the day. For further details of our programmes and how to book your visit please follow the links below:
