Pets on the Green

Twenty-plus African Pygmy hedgehogs — tiny, curious and irresistibly cute. Leopard geckos, crested geckos, a royal python, a corn snake, a blue tongue skink, a rescue bearded dragon, an iguana, Netherland Dwarf rabbits,

guinea pigs, skinny pigs, fancy mice, White's tree frogs, an African bull frog, map turtles, a terrapin, African land snails, stick insects, an orchid mantis — and Rosie, our beautiful Galah cockatoo who steals the show

every time.

Sessions last 60 minutes and take place indoors in our purpose-built animal room, which is kept warm for the welfare of our cold-blooded reptiles and amphibians. Groups are small — between 2 and 10 people — so every

visitor gets genuine, unhurried time with the animals. There's no rushing from one enclosure to the next. Ciera, our founder, guides every session personally, introducing each animal by name, sharing stories about their

personality and habits, and making sure everyone feels comfortable — whether you're a confident handler or a nervous first-timer.

Perfect for families, couples and groups

Most of our visitors are families looking for something different — an experience that's personal, memorable and completely unlike a standard day out. Children are captivated. Adults are surprised by how much they enjoy

it. Grandparents light up. It's the kind of visit people talk about for weeks afterwards and come back to book again.

Choose from a Reptile Meet & Greet, a Mammal Meet & Greet, a Hedgehog Talk, or the full Animal Keeper Experience where you help with feeding, cleaning and health checks — getting a real behind-the-scenes look at what it

takes to care for exotic animals every day.

Birthday parties they'll never forget

We bring the animals to you for birthday parties that are genuinely unforgettable. Choose which animals you'd like, tell us about the birthday child, and Ciera handles everything — setup, supervision, interaction and

cleanup. Parties are tailored to the child's age and interests, and every guest gets hands-on time. Indoor venues are preferred to keep our cold-blooded animals warm and comfortable.

Schools, Scouts, Guides and group visits

We regularly visit schools, Scouts, Brownies, Guides, Beavers, Cubs and community groups across Surrey. Every visit is educational, interactive and tailored to the audience — whether that's a classroom of five-year-olds

or a Scouts badge session. Children learn about habitats, diets, conservation and animal welfare while holding the animals themselves.

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 extraordinary. Eyes light up. Conversations start. Staff tell us

they see smiles they haven't seen in months. Every animal chosen for care home visits is hand-picked for its temperament, and every interaction is supervised, unhurried and full of warmth.

After school club

Our weekly after school club runs for children and teens aged 5–16 who love animals. Meet a different group of animals each week, learn about habitats and diets, take part in handling sessions and Q&A — all in a safe,

friendly, inclusive environment. Groups of up to 12 with hands-on learning every session.

Calm, inclusive and SEND-friendly

We welcome everyone. Our sessions are naturally calming — warm, quiet, unhurried and led at each visitor's pace. We offer reduced rates for SEND children, adults and their carers. Ciera is a qualified BSY Level 3 Animal

Assisted Therapy Practitioner with NESCOT Animal Management qualifications. She also has lived experience of autism, ADHD, ARFID and anxiety — she was diagnosed herself, received an EHCP, and moved to specialist

provision at 14. Being around animals was the only thing that truly helped, and that experience drives everything she does with SEND families today. The animal room is wheelchair accessible via a flat driveway, garden

and ramp.

Trusted and professional

Pets on the Green holds a valid Animal Activities Licence issued by Tandridge District Council, public liability and employer's liability insurance, and Enhanced DBS certification. Ciera is VAT registered, safeguarding

trained, and operates with full written policies and procedures. Every session is run with genuine care — for the visitors and for the animals.
