Lynne and her wonderful creatures visited us on Saturday…. It was a fabulous experience and the children all loved it…. I especially loved Monty Python. Thank you Lynne keep up the amazing work you do
Today we at Thorndale care home had Lynn and her fabulous animals visit us. This is not the first and certainly won’t be the last time we invite them. Our residents had a fantastic time. From start to finish it was fun and educational and Lynn is brilliant! Not only was it a treat we also benefited from sight and touch sensory and coming together to enjoy the experience. Highly recommend and look forward to having them back!
I booked Lynn's therapy animals for my son's birthday party. What an amazing experience it was for all the children and adults alike. Lynn was organised, passionate, fun and inclusive. She had so much knowledge of all the animals she was presenting, she involved the children in all handling and conversation, she answered all the questions. It is clear she loves her animals and she has a good understanding of a range of children's special needs as she interacted in a good age and ability appropriate manner. I would definitely recommend her sessions and I would love to ask her to come again. Thank you so much.
Lynn provided the most incredible experience for my son’s 3rd birthday! She was responsive with her communications to arrange the planning and logistics, and arrived well-prepared on the day. She kept all the kids at the party engaged, which was no mean feat with ages ranging from 2-8! Her patience, coupled with interesting and easy-to-understand facts, meant the kids got the most out of each animal and creepy crawlie Lynn brought with. I was amazed by my son’s bravery with them all, but Lynn was so nurturing and calm throughout the day. I can’t recommend her enough if you’re looking for something fun, different and educational for a kids party.
From the start of our correspondence, Lynn was helpful and very accommodating. The price was also incredible for the quality of the visit. All my class got to hold several animals and were able to ask lots of questions to develop their learning. Lynn was informative, warm and adapted her visit to suit our needs. I was particularly impressed with how she catered for our SEND children. Overall an experience myself and the children will never forget. The smiles on their faces were priceless. Thank you Lynn. Look forward to seeing you again soon.
