Frost Garden Centres

Frosts Garden Centre contacted the Poultry Club of Great Britain for advice on training their staff, they were advised to contact Chicken School. Frosts Garden Centre then commissioned Chicken School who successfully trained their staff in all four of their garden centres (Woburn Sands in Milton Keynes, Willington in Bedford, Brampton in Huntington and Millets Farm in Frilford).

Chicken School worked with Frosts Group Training Officer to understand their requirements and covered all areas of Chicken Keeping to ensure the staff provided a high standard of care for their poultry and to provide sound advice to customers.

Comments from the Training Officer:

Val has been a great asset for our team at Millets Farm, we wanted to start selling poultry and needed an expert to train our staff.  She delivered very comprehensive training in all aspects of chicken keeping, health & welfare.

Her workshops are a good balance of theory and practical, she has a very relaxed but engaging style and the team have thoroughly enjoyed working with her.

Jane Hargreaves, Frosts Group Trainer

 

Here are some of the comments from the team:

• A lovely lady who has a real passion for her subject, which she enthuses this to everyone.  Chicken School is great for first time chicken keepers & hobbyists.  Emma, Aquatics Manager
  

• Val delivered a step by step, yet comprehensive introduction to chicken keeping which she tailored well to our group with mixed knowledge & experience.  The work book is a great help for reference too.  The follow up question & answer session was a real help now that we have been working with poultry for a few months.  Jeff, Horticultural Manager
  

• Chicken School is really hands on and informative, lots of good advice and knowledge!  Debbie, Garden Centre Assistant
• I learned so much and Val gave the confidence to not only handle a chicken, but to clip a wing too all in one day!!  Mark, Garden Care Manager
• A great session, I learned so much and now feel confident helping out with the chickens. Margaret, Garden Centre Assistant

 A big thank you from Frosts Garden Centre Group !!
