What's new 🧘 Sensory Pod · 🐾 Baby Sugar Gliders · 🐍 New Pets Read updates
🔔 March 2026 🧘 Sensory Pod 🐾 Baby Sugar Gliders More details
🧘 Sensory pod We now have a brand new sensory pod available for sessions — a beautifully calm, enclosed space where you can relax and unwind with bunnies or other gentle animals right there with you. It's the perfect setting for anyone who benefits from a quieter, more soothing experience, and the kids absolutely love it!
🐾 Baby joeys Our sugar glider babies have opened their eyes and they are still clinging onto mum — the sweetest little things you'll ever see!
Baby sugar glider joey clinging to a pencil

This little joey has discovered a pencil and won't let go — it's just like a tiny branch to them, and clinging on is completely natural. Sugar gliders are arboreal marsupials, so gripping onto things is what they do best from day one!

A quick photo purely to capture the cuteness — look at that face!

Animal Assisted Intervention session

Animal-Assisted Intervention (AAI)

Structured AAI programmes for children and young people with SEND — designed to be commissioned by local authorities, schools, or alternative provision settings. Can be specified within Section F of an EHCP.

AAI uses purposeful, facilitated interaction with animals to support emotional regulation, learning readiness, confidence and social development. The approach is experiential rather than talk-based — animals act as calming, motivating presences that enable engagement and emotional safety.

  • Emotional regulation and self-management
  • Communication, social skills and trust
  • Confidence and anxiety reduction
  • Typically 6–8 weekly sessions, 60 mins each

Delivered by a BSY registered Level 3 AAT Practitioner. All sessions are structured, documented and outcome-focused to align with SEND and EHCP requirements.

Birthday party animal handling

Birthday parties

Make their birthday unforgettable — I bring the animals to you for a hands-on party experience they'll never forget. Perfect for kids and adults alike. Pricing is personalised based on location, number of animals and group size.

Choose which animals you'd like, and I'll handle the rest — setup, supervision and cleanup. Every party is tailored to the birthday child's interests and age group.

🏠 Indoor venues are preferred as many of our animals are cold-blooded and need warmth.

  • We travel to you — up to 10 miles included
  • Tailored to the birthday child's favourite animals
  • Suitable for all ages — kids and adults
  • Fully insured, licensed, Enhanced DBS checked

Care home visits

Some of the most rewarding work we do. We bring a carefully selected group of calm, gentle animals into care homes — and the response from residents is truly overwhelming. Eyes light up, conversations start, and smiles appear that the staff say they haven't seen in months.

Every animal chosen for care home visits is hand-picked for its calm temperament and suitability around elderly residents. From a friendly leopard gecko resting gently on a hand, to our beautiful Galah cockatoo perching happily alongside residents — each interaction is supervised, unhurried and full of warmth.

  • Calm, gentle animals selected specifically for care settings
  • Overwhelmingly positive feedback from homes visited
  • Supports wellbeing, engagement and social connection
  • Fully insured, Enhanced DBS checked and licensed

Ciera with a young visitor

"I started this because I genuinely love every single one of my pets"

I'm Ciera — I'm 19 and I built Pets on the Green to share that feeling you get when a sugar glider lands on your hand for the first time, or when Marvin the tortoise stretches his neck out for a strawberry. Every session is shaped with real care — especially for SEND families and care home residents.
