| Carlton Marshes Education Centre | This is a good opportunity to explore different habitats. We explored dike, woods and long grasses. Lots of practical ideas and opportunities for the children to get hands on. | 15 June 2023 | |
| Carlton Marshes - Suffolk Wildlife Trust | Excellent knowledgeable leaders who not only understood how to relate to young children, but also knew the names of the minibeasts. | 15 June 2023 | |

| Conway Centre - Delamere | Fox Howl is really good for an overnight stay. The facilities are basic, we had to make up our own beds and strip them again the next morning. There are no showers available for the children but this does not affect us as we only stay for one night. The children really enjoyed the pond dipping and Meg, the instructor, was brilliant with the children, interacting with and managing them really well. We had a good welcome briefing on arrival and knew the evacuation and emergency procedures. We would love to do this trip again next year and hope that the self catering option will still be available so that we can keep the costs down for the children. | 14 June 2023 | |

| Acorn Adventure | The staff were lovely and very friendly and absolutely did their best to accommodate our needs as they arose. However, if the organisation had been in place prior to the visit - less needs would have arisen for them to need to deal with. | 14 June 2023 | |

| Newstead Abbey | The children had a wonderful hands on experience of what it was like to be a Victorian child at home and school. The providers really brought the topic to life. The children also enjoyed walking around the grounds, the waterfall and the playground. | 14 June 2023 | |
| Benjamin Franklin House | 14 June 2023 | ||
| Ragged School Museum | It was an interesting experience with a lot of potential! However the actor treated it like a proper English/arithmetic lesson and focused too much on teaching content - some children did not follow the learning and became stressed - it would be better focusing on facts about the Victorian era / exaggerated role play from the teacher, rather than actually trying to teach a lesson. | 14 June 2023 | |

| LEGOLAND Windsor | Timings were good-could leave earlier as the traffic was heavy on the way. One workshop would be sufficient if more time in the park were to be given. Higher ratios would be needed if they children were to go onto the rides-most of them required a 1:2/1:1 ratio meaning that they children were unable to access the park. This would potentially mean asking parents. | 14 June 2023 | |

| Holkham Enterprises | The children really enjoyed looking around Holkham Hall and learning about the Victorian toys. Separate feedback will be sent to Holkham Hall to develop the activities further. E.g. roles of the house being explored further. | 14 June 2023 | |

| Birmingham Botanical Gardens and Glasshouses | A great venue, and we came across a fantastic volunteer working there, who told the children lots of information and engaged them in the herb garden. This wasn't organised, so it was lucky we had it, so it would be good if this was part of the experience. | 13 June 2023 |
