How do you keep visitors safe on Junior Farm?
We follow guidance from the National Farm Attractions Network (NFAN), which worked closely with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Access to Farms partnership to develop an Industry Code of Practice (COP). This code provides clear, practical advice on how children and adults should safely interact with animals on farm parks.
In February 2018, NFAN launched the Animal Attraction Assured certification scheme, developed with Kiwa Agri Food. We work closely with Kiwa inspections to maintain the highest standards in health, safety, and animal care.
Kiwa inspections provide reassurance and confidence to everyone who visits. Families can enjoy close contact with our animals knowing that strong measures are in place to protect both people and animals. This includes:
- Reducing the risk of illness
- Preventing accidents
- Ensuring animals are cared for responsibly
We are delighted to announce that we have successfully completed our 2026 Kiwa review and have been certified.

Depending on when you visit, we may have pregnant ewes and lambs. It is not advised that pregnant individuals visit the lambing area due to the risk of miscarriage. Expectant mothers who come into close contact with sheep during lambing may jeopardise their health as well as that of their unborn child, due to potential infections that can affect certain ewes.
These include chlamydiosis (enzootic abortion of ewes – EAE), toxoplasmosis and listeriosis.
Although reports of infections and human miscarriages linked to contact with sheep are quite rare, it is
crucial for pregnant women to be informed about the potential risks.
If you decide to visit, we advise against going to the lambing area.
