The children really enjoyed the group sessions and getting to touch and hold the different sea creatures. The ranger was very good with the children and engaging when talking about the rockpool. We however didnt have the introductory talk at the beginning of the day.

Thank you for such a wonderful experience. The children were fascinated and because of how informative and knowledgeable the rangers were, our reception children were able to ask some amazing questions. It has been the talk of the school and there was a real buzz in the classroom even the following day!

We had an absolutely wonderful day with the rangers in school. The children were so excited and fully immersed in the experience and haven’t stopped talking about it! We thoroughly enjoyed the day and we would be hopeful to book you again next year. Thank you!

I’m absolutely bowled over with what you guys have done with our tank. It looks truly amazing. Before it was a festering pond and now it’s transformed. Well done!

When we decided upon a marine aquarium as the centrepiece of our new showroom, we researched the market and selected Aqualease, we chose wisely.
From quotation to installation and on-going maintenance the service has been professional and importantly on time. I would have no hesitation in recommending Aqualease to any interested party
A Very professional ad courteous maintenance service provider who i would recommend without question

The fish tank has been a wonderful opportunity to support our children’s learning. From art, design, science, literacy and maths. The opportunities have been endless. The children have particularly enjoyed researching about the origins of the fish and learning about their environment. The sustainability of the tank is another wonder to the children when they see the shrimp crawl onto the clown fishes back to clean it!! – amazing!

A fantastic look into our ‘Animal Families’ topic in Year One. The children are mesmerised by the mini aquarium and can name the varieties of fish, label the different parts and explore what they eat. A brilliant resource for the classroom.

Here at South Liverpool Housing we have Aqualease aquariums in our main office area, our customer reception and our Chief Executives office. These are all beautiful, they always draw comment from visitors, and the tank in our reception has been a huge success with local children! We have found the company extremely easy to deal with, they designed the aquariums to meet our needs and the maintenance and aftercare has been exemplary. A fantastic solution to what would be, without the service, an impossible facility to maintain ourselves

All saints had considered an aquarium for the Reception area for a long time. We have now had one since June 09 and have ha many positive comments from old an young alike

Originally we decided on having an aquarium for the children. We thought it would help the children to calm down if they feel angry and to help them to relax a little. We also felt it would help some of our children who have Special Educational Needs and would be a general point of interest for them. Since having the aquarium weve found that not only does it meet our original needs (in particular those for our children with Special Eductional Needs), it has also helped the staff, as a kind of stress relief system!! Thanks!

I just want to say a big thank you regarding the fish tank we had installed last year. The service you provide as a company is excellent and takes away any worries we would have in maintaining the tank and welfare of the fish!
Most importantly the benefits the fish tank has given to the residents living with dementia. We have found it a useful tool in de escalating distressed reactions in residents as well as a therapeutic calming effect on those who just want to sit and watch the fish. It has also been a good topic point for conversation between residents some of whom have named the fish!
I have also found it to be a positive selling point from a marketing point of view for those people who come to view the home.

The Aqualease team provided 2 days of experiences for our pupils using 3 rock pools. The organisation was excellent and the rock pool rangers were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and tailored the individual sessions to the appropriate age range. Our pupils were excited, amazed and fully engaged in the fun learning experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend this service to other schools.

Quotes from some of the children:
“It was good because I got to see little shells.” , “I like it, it was really fun and I liked to touch the starfish with 9 arms.” , “I like it holding the starfish because it felt smooth.” , “We learned about spider crabs, shore crabs – They are black and green to camoflage in the seaweed, and A hermit crab.”
