I have been teaching since 1991 and have not visited another science based facility that can match what The Centre has to offer – superb.

A really great day and well worth the 2 hour travelling each way! Great activities, brilliant supportive staff and will definitely come back next year.

Wednesday 1st August 2012 - 15:56 Year 7 SEN

The boys thoroughly enjoyed their visit and it has been great for us, as their teachers to see them so engaged, enjoying science outside the classroom. The staff tried to keep all of our group motivated and were successful, offering encouragement to those not sure about participating.

We were late arriving but the staff did their very best and managed to re-arrange things. The staff were most accommodating and helped to make our visit an enjoyable experience. Back in school even the youngest children have produced excellent work all based on our visit.

Wednesday 25th January 2012 - 13:17 Excellent day

One really good feature is the robustness of the exhibits so the students can happily play on them, enjoy them and learn from them without constantly being told to be careful.

I've been on a visit to the centre for the last 3 years and each year the visit has been a highlight for the pupils and staff. A well priced fantastic opportunity for children to experience and most importantly, try for themselves.

Thursday 7th July 2011 - 14:20 A memorable day

Although I have visited many times before, today was my first visit with a school.Really impressed by your organisation, we all felt we had our own space to explore but knew your staff were there to guide us and keep us on schedule. As ever, staff were knowledgeable, interested in what they were doing and most importantly, in sharing it with visitors. Many thanks for helping to make our end of year trip such a memorable day.

Teacher Year 6

Thursday 7th July 2011 - 10:23 Experiencing with their classmates

The children get so much more out of the activities by experiencing them with their classmates. Even though quite a few have visited with their families, they seem to benfit more from visiting as part of a school trip.
