Hi Jo,
Just a quick email to say thank you for today. We really enjoyed having you, the children didnt stop talking about your visit all afternoon. We have had Zoo Lab visit us once or twice but we all agree that we prefer your talk and would rather have you and your animals so we will definately be contacting you again for another show. Thank you once again and for travelling the distance to see us.
Best wishes

Hi Joanne,
Thank you so much for today, I really appreciated you coming down all that way. You are truly professional and very patient with the kids.
You made my daughter Hana really happy, and the photographer you recommended was brilliant and the quality of the photos were good. Everyone was pleased and I was really astounded as to how the children sat through the hour without any issues.
I will definatley be recommending you to all, I and so glad I fould you and booked you.
My daughter attends a preivate school and the head masters son is in the same class as Hana, and his son never attends any parties. This was a are occasion to see him and his dad, and he made positive comments as to how fun and educational this was. he was thinking of bringing you into the school!!! so watch this space.
Thanks again for a brilliant time and I hope the animals were not oo stressed with the journey back home.
Sorry for screaming when I had the snake around my head, I am not comfortable with snakes faces, and I could see her trying to make her way up.
Thanks again
Love
Nafeesah & Hana

Dear Joanne,
Just a note to say a big thank you for agreeing to participate at our Fair on Saturday 6 June. All the children really enjoyed themselves and were very excited to be able to see such wonderful animals, and from all accounts your talks were super and very informative.
A special thank you for your patience while we found you a suitable place to be positioned, unfortunately the torrential rain had ruined our carefully thought out plans so sorry if we appeared a little disorganised to begin with.
Hopefully we might see you again next year!
With kind regards and sincere thanks

Dear All
Just a quick note to say thank you so much for hosting Ellie's birthday party today. It went really well and the children really enjoyed meeting, holding and learning about the wide variety of animals that were brought along - there were lots of oohs, aahs and a few eeks. Jill was fantastic - a lovely lady, who had a real rapport with the children and who provided a real hands on experience for them all. I shall certainly be recommending you to friends.
Kind regards
Jayne Field.

Joanne,
Thanks very much for coming to our Party. I think the children really enjoyed themselves, Max still can’t believe he had a snake round his neck. He said he got brave fighting off the tiger – that’s how he got the rips in his outfit.
It was lovely to meet you, and I will be having a PTA meeting this week, so will run it past them to see if we could do something at the School.
Again, a very big thank you – it was fantastic.
Take Care

Dear Jo,
IT WAS MARVELLOUS! YOU WERE WONDERFULL!
We sooooooo enjoyed ourselves and the children are still raving about the party!
Thank you very very much!
Obviously we are recommending you to all our friends!
I am hoping that we can do the same again next year!
Yours most gratefully,
Helen
Hi Joanne
I hope you had a good journey back home and the animals weren't too stressed!!
I just wanted to say what a fantastic time was had by all on Saturday.
When I look at the photos my little girl had the biggest beaming smile on her face - and she was so brave (especially putting the snake around her neck!!). This was a big decision on my part whether it would work or not and I am glad to say it did - a resounding success!!
Again, many, many thanks and I wish you well for your 'beanie'...
Best regards

Hi Jo
Many many thanks for Saturday. Everybody thought that you were fantastic and that the kids absolutely loved it. All the mums and children have been talking about it. Cheers.
From my point of view you were on time, having travelled such a long way, you engaged and connected with the kids and everything that you had to say was interesting and educational (even my hubby enjoyed it and that's saying something). Anyhow once again many thanks you made a great party a fantastic party. Good luck with the pregnancy and your new baby hope all goes well. Will book you again for Ralph's birthday if you are still doing this in a couple of years time.
Many thanks

Hi Joanne
Just a quick note to say a huge thank you for making my sons 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..
Lets 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

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.
Was going to send you a thank you card but my husband has deleted your email with your address on, sorry.
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 oportunity 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,
Rgs, Esther Mitchell
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,
Anita
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,

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.
Paula
Thank you for a wonderful party. It was enjoyed by both children and adults alike!! I will be recommending you to other people who are looking for similar entertainment.
Hope to see you again

Hi Jo, its Lou from Winsford. You came and did Dan and Joe's party yesterday. Just wanted to let you know how fantastic it was and everybody thought it was brilliant (they are counting down the days to the next birthday to book you 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"
