Thank you for bringing your children to Safeside. We hope their experience is informative, engaging and memorable.
Please read our general visitor guide for Safeside to prepare for your visit.
The information below is for guidance on the day and how you can support your children to maximise learning opportunities.
Children should be split into groups of 10 (subject to change).
When children are going around the Circuit, they will be split further into smaller groups depending on how many children are at the centre.
| Timings | Activities | Group 1 | Group 2 | Group 3 | Group 4 |
| 9.45am | Welcome and introduction |  | | | |
| 10.15am | Road, fire and personal safety workshops | | | |  |
| 10.15 | Circuit of nine scenarios | | | | |
| 12.00pm | Lunch | | | | |
| 12.30pm | Road, fire and personal safety workshops | | | | |
| 12.30pm | Circuit of nine scenarios | | | | |
| 2.30pm | Feedback and Evaluation | | | | |
| 2.30pm | End of day | | | | |
Please note that all timings, and availability of tour areas and activities, are subject to change.
We encourage the children to ask and answer questions. The children will participate in a pre-tour quiz and at the end of the day the children will regroup for another quiz to assess and consolidate learning.
The children’s safety is our top priority. Children will be supervised in all areas of the Village.
Lunch time: it is your responsibility to supervise the children and ensure they are toileted before re-entering the Village.
Toileting: the toilets are located in the main reception area. Please ensure a member of your staff accompanies children to the toilet if they need it during the tour.
If at any point you need to raise a concern, please speak to one of the Lead Practitioners or one of the Education Team.
We hope you enjoy your visit!
