Testimonials

I would like to send my thanks for the work and demonstrations that you presented at The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery on Saturday 27 th October.

You were able to capture the attention of the public in an entertaining and informative way. Adults and children participated as though it was a formal workshop rather than a drop-in activity and sat and listened to the entire talk.

I was also highly impressed by your handling of the animals and how you engaged with your audience. You encouraged everyone to participate regardless of age, experience and disability.

I believe that many people have now gained a better understanding and appreciation of more exotic reptiles and insects. You were highly professional and self-contained and your animals well cared for.

I would not hesitate to recommend you to anybody requiring this type of demonstration and will definitely invite you to participate in any future events at the museum.

Yours sincerely,

Melanie Firman

Hi Joanne

Just a quick note to say a huge thank you for making my son’s birthday so special!  Your friendly, educational, hands-on session was pitched just right for our 6 year old's.  Morgan was so excited, he enjoyed every minute and his friends didn't stop talking about his party for days !!

My 12 year old daughter enjoyed it just as much..

Let’s hope you get some referrals as the other children were asking their mums for a party like Morgan's next time...

Thanks again.

Best Regards

Hello Joanne and I apologise for taking so long to thank you for all your efforts on the 22 nd November at Joshua’s party. You really did a wonderful job and I am amazed how you managed to keep the children’s attention so very well .Everyone enjoyed it.

Thanks to you and the animals.

Best wishes,

Sally-Ann

 

Just wanted to say a big thank you for the party, Dylan had a great time and is still talking about the animals. All of the mums said how much their kids had enjoyed it to so many thanks.
Will take one of your flyers into school as it’s the kind of thing they do there too.
 
Take care,
Tara

 

Dear Jo,

Just wanted to say thanks you so much for Dans party on Saturday.  All the children and adults thoroughly enjoyed it, and it was certainly a party Dan will never forget!

Although I did have problems with the boys on the night, Dan decided he wants a hedgehog and Ben was nagging for a snake.  They are not happy that I have no plans to extend my menagerie. 

Many, many thanks again.

Love and best wishes

Hi Jo,

Just wanted to say thank you SO much for a wonderful party event you provided.  You were fantastic with the children and the mum's have all come back saying what a wonderful opportunity it was for the children to interact with the animals they often don't get to touch.

I hope you got home safely on Sunday evening.  Thanks again,

Hi Jo,

Just to let you know how much we enjoyed it today. Personally I think it’s the best Kid’s party I’ve been to. And Felix now wants a pet hedgehog ! (Myself I’d like the snake)

Thanks again,

Dear Jo
 
The boys had such a great time - it really was one of the best parties we've had for Sam, and he was absolutely delighted with it, Joe too. 
 
Gary and I were really impressed with the way you handled the children, and the fact that you took the time at the end to speak to the two or three who hung around to pet the rabbits.
 
I really can't recommend you highly enough - or rather - I will and have been to all the Mum's that asked!
 
Many thanks once again.

"To Joanne

Thankyou very much for coming to King Henry VIII's to show us your amazing animals and giving us an interesting talk. We all enjoyed the experience and were influenced by it. You really made our day by coming and giving us the chance to touch, hold and learn about these creatures that we wouldn't normally get to be in close contact with. You really boosted our convidence around exotic creatures and many of us battled our fears to find holding them wasn't scarey at all. We hoped you enjoyed teaching us about classification and animals as much as we enjoyed learning about them. We hope you will come back again soon and give another of your interesting talks"
