FAQs
Our Frequently Answered Questions Page is constantly being updated.
If the answer you seek is not here, you can as me a question by contacting me directly!
Can Animal School come to my house or my school?
Sorry, we are not currently providing external visits. We can sometimes provide private animal experiences in the yurt. Please get in touch about this as spaces are limited.
How long is the after school animal club?
The club duration is for an hour. Weekend/holiday workshops may be much longer than thing depending on what we are doing that day.
Does Animal School provide disabled access?
Unfortunately we are unable to provide disabled access at this time but we are currently working on wheelchair access.
Does Animal School have toilet facilities?
We have a portaloo on site.
What if I or my child have allergies?
We will need to discuss nut and hair allergies before you attend the session.How much does it cost to feed your animals?
Do you have to have a licence for what you do?
Yes! I have a full animal activities licence with a 5 star rating! This is now a legal requirement for all companies that offer events with live animals.
Do you have public liability insurance a DBS?
Of course as these are a legal requirement. I am happy to provide all documentation prior to booking.
How many animals do you actually have?
I say there is 120 but I am counting a whole colony of cockroaches, snails and harvest mice as 1! This is because otherwise I could get into thousands! Not to mention all the wildlife I feed and study on a daily basis.
Are they all rescue animals?
No but the majority of them are. Sometimes I have had to buy a single friend for an animal because they are donated on their own. My forest cat Kamos was also bought from a friend as a kitten so I could train him up to visit care homes... I think it would be a bit too much to ask that of a rescue cat! There's probably about 10 animals I own that I have bought, the rest have all been donated.
How much does it cost to feed the animals?
It costs between £100-£120 a week to feed all the animals. This is raised by paid work from the clubs and therapy sessions.
We accept fundraisers and donations!
Can I donate towards the upkeep of your animals?
Donations are always welcome! We have a gofundme page and an Amazon Wishlist. Alternatively you can support us by booking an experience.
How long have you been running your Animal School?
When I was a very young child I put on animal themed puppet shows for my parents and their friends teaching them about the animal world. I have always illustrated and done school projects on animals. I began a pet club 12 years ago when I was working at a pet shop, it built up from there. I have been providing parties and school visits for the last decade. I have done thousands of different shows during this time.
How long have you been running the Youtube channel?
The Youtube channel started with the covid19 lockdown as a promise to the children that attend my local after school club. There is more videos to come, it just takes a while to film them!
