Bucks Goat Centre says thank you to visitors for their summer support

The area around the Stoke Mandeville attraction has been the subject of road closures during the peak time, but owner Ruth Higgins said that she has been moved by support from families who have come to the farm.

And now that back to school time has arrived, the farm's regular toddlers and childminder sessions are back, so that tots can enjoy the farm while the big kids are in the classroom.

Ruth said: "It hasn't been an easy time for the whole Layby Farm complex, and the road closures have had an effect on footfall. But so many families and visitors have still come out during the holidays for a day out with us.

"We have had so many supportive comments and it really has been wonderful, so I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has shown us love."

Starting on September 4 the toddlers Little Duckling sessions are back from 10.30am until 11.30am.

And on Wednesdays there is a special discount for registered childminders, who can access the farm for a reduced fee of £2.

The Bucks Goat Centre now also offers alternative provisions for school aged children.

This allows children within education an alternative place they can go to if their school timetable has been reduced.
