    We had a fantastic experience when J&C party pets visited our nursery and reception classes. Jade and Danny were extremely knowledgeable and really engaging. I would highly recommend them. Thank you for such a wonderful day!

    The staff are ALL so, so welcoming and knowledgable about the animals. Friendly and helpful and always happy to be asked questions. The animal enclosures are all really well maintained and it’s obvious that the staff honestly do care about their wellbeing. The fact that the animals are rescues makes what they do that little bit more special.

    ade was AMAZING, my little boy and some of his friends are sometimes wild 😝 but she was so patient, enthusiastic and could tell she really knew her stuff when it came to the animals. Everyone was so impressed from the children to my grandparents in their 80s. A really incredible, different experience we will definitely be back thank you to all of the staff
