Early Years and Primary

Open wide as we uncover the importance of our teeth, journey back in time with Florence Nightingale to find out what makes a good nurse, or crawl through the digestive system in our dedicated area for the under 5s. These are just a few of the bespoke workshops and sessions our Education team have designed for nursery and primary school children.
We’re here to inspire your students to:
- Gain curriculum-based knowledge – exploring history, science, PSHCE and everything in-between
- Understand about caring for ourselves
- Think about careers in healthcare
