Testimonials

The rangers were amazing with the children. They took their time to talk about the creatures, they asked a lot of questions to support learning. They encouraged children who were feeling anxious to explore the creatures. The children were all excited and enjoyed the experience. – On our  Rockpool Experience

Thank you to Dave for a fantastic ‘hands on experience’ for the children (+ staff). There were some amazing responses from the children + all were engaged + interested. Dave is very knowledgeable + knew how to interact with all the children to provide a memorable experience.’ – on our Rock Pool Experience

‘The tank, full of interesting creatures, is just outside my office door and it has been fascinating listening to the children discussing what the creatures look like, how they eat and how they move. The little crab is always popular and it’s quite comical in the way it goes about its business. The shrimp is always very busy and the fish are beautiful. It is the urchin that causes the most wonder. For a creature that appears to be still, you can walk past the tank one moment and then it has disappeared the next. It is also collecting debris from the bottom of the tank and wears an old crab claw and various stones on its body- very interesting!’ – on our Happy Habitats Marine Reef Project

‘ I’ve had a great day at work today!! I can’t believe I forgot all about it when all last week I was talking non stop about their visit

DEFO THE MOST EXCITED ADULT IN SCHOOL TODAY

Anyways, I loved my Aqualease experience and I’m pretty sure all the children did too!! A pop up rock pool with lots of wonderful sea creatures

Highly recommend this fab business to child minders, nurseries, schools and perhaps for a party! An excellent service from start to finish!

Thank you for allowing me to hold all the sea creatures and to take photos too‘

‘Good evening,

I would just like to pass on a huge thanks from the Year 1 team at Morley Victoria for the fantastic Rockpooling Experience that we had today. Dave was brilliant with the children and adults alike and they were completely enthused by the whole thing. They didn’t stop talking about it all day! 

Thank you for such a well-organised, seamless and interesting experience. We really hope to use you again in the future.

Many thanks.‘

‘These are amazing and have made such a difference to our visitors already. We have received many comments about how lovely and calming they are, thank you’

‘Great Service and outstanding value for money – We love our fish!!’

“Since the addition of an Aqualease aquarium to our waiting area, we have noticed a significant calming effect on our patients. The aquarium has also proved to be popular with the children and is a superb focal point’.”

“We purchased an Octagon Coldwater Column fish tank and contents from Aqualease recently and have been extremely satisfied with the set-up and maintenance contract and the professional service we’ve been shown. Many of the children’s parents have commented on what a difference to the room it makes and the children have enjoyed many times watching the fish. They have also found it very therapeutic and love feeding the fish. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Aqualease to anybody wishing to purchase any aquarium.”

“Great Service and outstanding value for money – We love our fish!!”

“Just a note to say how thrilled we are with the recent installation of our aquarium. This is proving to be a focal point for everyone in the office, and is already providing much enjoyment.
I would also like to thank you for the very professional service and excellent installation service you have provided.”

“Here at South Liverpool Housing we have Aqualease aquariums in our main office area, our customer reception and our Chief Executive’s 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”

“The technician is very friendly and helpful, nothing is any trouble to him. Good all round service”

“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 we’ve 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! “

“We have been consistently delighted with Aqualease over the past two years, their excellent service has never wavered. The staf are professional and courteous and they are clearly dedicated to the welfare of the fish. Even in these hard times we all decided we wanted to keep the aquarium, its great value for money and a great service “

“The Aqua Lease representative was extremely helpful in the initial project plan. Aqua Lease provide excellent customer care. The aquarium brings joy to all attending the centre and has created quite a “hot spot” of communication.”

Carol J Commins – Newcastle Under Lyme Chilrens Centre

“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 fish are going down a treat! All the residents love them and I have had some lovely comments not only from relatives but other visiting professionals. I have a few ladies who can become easily upset at times and they really enjoy sitting next to the tank in the foyer.”
