Organised by Lou


Visit to the Guide Dogs National Breeding Centre for an interactive session.

Arrival time is 10am.  It will go on until approximately 12.15pm.

During the session, children will:

See some of their guide dog puppies through special viewing windows
Learn about the puppies’ first steps
Discover more about sight loss
Experience the sensory tunnel
Find out how to approach and guide someone who is blind or partially sighted
Have a go at reading and writing Braille.
This is for children aged 8yrs plus. (Their target age range is 8-11yrs), older siblings are welcome.

You will need to wear sensible footwear and a coat/outdoor wear (as some areas of the centre require visitors to go outside)  The outside area is a short walkway between two buildings.  Please be aware that in the event of any adverse weather conditions, there may be a possibility that a small part of the tour has to be cancelled.  The side is fully accessible with a lift and rams for wheelchairs and mobility schooters.  No pets are allowed (unless they are guide-dogs)

You may take photos, although there are a few areas where flash photography is not allowed.

We’ll probably do the tour in slightly smaller groups (depending on exact numbers), rather than going round in one large group.

The centre aims to create a calm and ordered environment for the dogs, staff and visitors, please help them to do this!

Adult/parent spaces are limited and allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. This is partly due to the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association’s own policy and partly because there is an overall capacity for this, so for every adult, there will be one less child spsace.

If you take an adult space, you will need to help look after and support children other than your own.  It is likely that you will be the only adult (other than the guide) in a small group of children.  Please only book an adult space if you are happy to help and support the children in your group.

If your children are able to go in unaccompanied, please only book child spaces.

The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association is a registered charity and does not receive government funding, so whilst they provide this session for free, there will be a £1.50/person charge (which will all be donated to the Guide Dogs, less any PayPal fees. So if you can, please pay by “family & friends” PayPal to events [at] educationista.com putting your name and the name of the trip, as then they will receive more).

Your places will not be confirmed until payment has been received.

There will be no refunds in the event of cancellation/no show. (The monies will be donated to the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association – less PayPal fees if people paid via the website).

Places are limited and parking is limited.  Full directions will be emailed closer to the time, to all those going on.

This Website

This website is purely a booking website. Any home-educator is welcome to use it for free, as long as the event is not-for-profit for them personally.

Adult spaces/tickets:
Please put “adult” in the age box. (Adult ages are not required)

Children’s ages are asked for to enable the organiser to pass on the age-range to the venue/workshop leader. Also, in the case of there being free teacher/adult spaces, these are normally calculated on the child/ren’s age.

Educationista Foundation

We were successful in registering "Educationista Foundation" as a CIO with the Charity Commission.

We'd like to invite any home-educator who is interested in joining in activities or getting involved in the charity itself, to join the facebook group for it, which is here:
facebook.com/groups/EducationistaFoundation.

However, the charity is separate from this website.
(It just uses this website for bookings for ease and because it time-stamps the bookings, which may be necessary for over-subscribed events)

Payments for Events

Payment for events must be made directly to the organiser.
Their PayPal/payment details will be detailed on the event.
If the organiser requests a bank payment (this will be clear on the event itself), then you may request them by email if they are not already known to you.

You are NOT be able to pay via the website PayPal as some of you may have done previously – this is because this attracts PayPal fees which cannot be passed on (following legislation that comes into effect from January 2018).

Your space(s) are not confirmed until payment has been received.

Cancellations/Non-attendance & Refunds

Most venues and attractions need to booked and paid in advance.
Therefore, unfortunately refunds are not normally possible unless your space(s) can be filled.
If you are unable to attend for whatever reason, please let the organiser know as soon as possible. They may they have a reserve/waiting list.

Inclusion of an event on this website is NOT an endorsement of it. This is a booking website (and particularly in the case of home-education events, this website does NOT seek to replace local or national support groups)

The individual organiser is responsible for their own event.
The organiser's name appears on their events so you can identify whose event it is.

If payment is taken through the website, this will unavoidably incur PayPal fees. Therefore please pay the organiser direct if at all possible.
