Caroline, Yes we were really pleased with the experience. You brought a wide range of mini beasts and the fact that the children could touch them and hold them made the experience even more enjoyable. We will definitely re-book you when we do mini beasts again!!

Evie (5) & poppy (4) from Doveridge came along to the bug club. We all really enjoyed the bug club, the girls loved holding all the animals and learning about them. carrie knows her stuff and the girls loved ever minuet of the sessions.

The children and staff at Carmountside thoroughly enjoyed your rent-a-beast experience! The children were engaged, interactive and very brave when handling some gigantic minibeasts! We learnt how they move, what they eat all about their habitats, it was a fantastic learning experience and great value for money! We would highly recommend and look forward to welcoming rent-a-beast back in the future. Many thanks for a fabulous experience!

Today we have had the toy minibeasts out and the children have been chatting about the bugs you brought in and which ones they touched. Look forward to seeing you next year Thanks again

Ellen worked excellently with our young people, who are some of the most vulnerable young people in the city of Birmingham. She made them feel at ease and all students gained confidence with the creatures and enjoyed the experience I have passed on contact details to the Primary centre manager for future dates!

Thankyou so much, you and you friends were awesome!!! The kids loved it!!! Thanks again Carrie xxxxx

Hi Carrie! I just wanted to say a very 'bug' thank you on behalf of the Derby College Animal Care Team and all of our students for joining us at our celebration evening last night. The students (and staff!) loved meeting all the bugs. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to see and handle some unusual and interesting species. Thank you so much. We're looking forward to seeing you again!

Dear Ellen,can I just say how wonderful and welcoming you were during the whole event. Ellen, you went above and beyond in making the experience for all the children a memorable one. Thank you very much for the excellent service you have provided. Thank-you,

We met Carrie hosting a friends party and booked our own shortly after. Carries great for all ages. We have since been to a holiday bug club and I will book her again soon. She really puts the children at ease with the mini beasts, and adults!! She comes very highly recommended by myself!

Over the past few weeks Carrie and Nikki from Rent-a-Beast have brought an impressive selection of creepy crawlies to visit our Bug Club at Bradwell County Primary School. The children have been captivated by the incredible insects and have particularly enjoyed the hands on nature of the sessions. Each weekly session has been exciting and informative and the children are always buzzing throughout (and for the rest of the week until the next session comes around). Carrie and Nikki are naturals when it comes to passing on their obvious passion for the bugs and have left our children with a new found respect for the fascinating creatures they have met and learned about. We couldn’t recommend Rent-a-Beast highly enough. Perfect if you are looking for an after school club that is educational, exciting and most importantly great fun!

Rentabeast was a fantastic experience for my class and for me! The children enjoyed meeting all the creatures and discovering where they come from and how they survive. They loved being able to handle them or just watch from a distance if they were a little bit nervous! Carrie provided a safe and exciting set up in our classroom that really enhanced the children's learning. I was truly impressed by the services provided that I have booked Carrie and her wonderful creatures again!

We have used rent a beast in our day nursery to support our bugs topic, Carrie is extremely approachable, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour which is imperative when working with young children! We have also used Rent a Beasts hatching scheme to hatch some chicks, parents were really impressed that we gave children the opportunity to learn about life cycles in a real hands on approach. We wouldn't hesitate to promote  rent a beast within early years settings, as we feel that it supports our teaching and really enhances the children's learning.
