School Testimonials

“We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Yesterday’s World. The children learned some historical facts through the benefit of a child friendly environment and everyone was very pleasant and helpful to us. Thank you for arranging things and we hope that all of you enjoy the children’s thank you letters.” - Mark Kirstein (Yr 1 teacher), Pevensey and Westham C.E. Primary School

“We all had a fantastic time at Yesterday’s World and have found it really useful as an introduction to our topic on the Victorian era.

The children really enjoyed the exhibits and learnt a lot. We found your teacher’s pack useful and used this to construct a map around the exhibits and some key questions for children to think about.

This enabled us to ensure children focused mainly on the relevant period (Victorian) for them.

A particular highlight of the visit was the opportunity we had to visit the kitchen and listen to one of your staff explain about the Victorian artefacts.

All of your staff were extremely helpful, for example offering us the chance to leave children’s bags with you and bringing them to us at lunchtime which helped alleviate some of the organisational stress.

The staff were also very patient with the children in the shop.” Louise Duffy (Yr 3 teacher), Little Common Primary School, East Sussex
