Parties planned for their age, not only the theme
Themed birthday parties for children aged 3 to 11, at home or in a hall, with games, an entertainer, party food and decorations. Our trained hosts run the fun while a grown up from the family stays close by.
3 to 11years, with games for each age
1 hostfor every 10 children
2 hrsfor most parties, games to cake
Twelve themes, every one our own
Our team writes each theme, so there are no film characters or toy brands, and any of them can be made gentler for younger guests.
- Space mission
- Dinosaur dig
- Under the sea
- Superhero training camp
- Fairy garden
- Pirate treasure hunt
- Mad science lab
- Jungle safari
- Mini bakers
- Disco and dance
- Art studio
- Sports day
Got another idea? Describe it in the enquiry and we build the games, the decorations and the host's costume around it.
What works at each age
A party for a three year old and one for a ten year old share a cake and very little else. This is how the plan changes as they grow.
| Age | What the party looks like | Length | Grown ups we ask for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 to 4 | Bubbles, parachute games, songs and a short story; nothing with small pieces | 90 minutes | One parent or carer per child |
| 5 to 6 | Simple team games, a treasure trail and a craft to take home | 2 hours | One adult for every six children |
| 7 to 8 | Challenges with points, a themed quest and a short show | 2 hours | Two adults from the family |
| 9 to 11 | Science or art workshops, a disco, or a sports day they help to run | 2 to 2.5 hours | Two adults from the family |
Children with additional needs are always welcome. Tell us what helps, such as a quiet corner, ear defenders or a fixed time for food, and we plan around it.

Safety first, and a grown up always in the room
Our hosts are background checked as the law requires where we work, trained in first aid for children and never alone with a child out of sight of others. They lead the games, while each child's safety stays shared with the family, so a parent or carer of the birthday child stays for the whole party.
Before the first guest arrives we walk the room for trip hazards, sockets and exits, and we keep balloons and small craft pieces away from the under fours. Rules on checks and ratios differ between countries, and we follow the stricter of the local rule and our own.
- A first aid kit and a trained first aider at every party
- Children counted in at the door and counted out again
- Each child leaves only with the adult the parent has named
- In an emergency we call your local emergency number, then the parents
Food, cake and allergies
Party food is where most worries sit, so we ask about every guest before the day rather than at the door.
Allergy list first
Ten days before, the guest list comes with each child's allergies and dietary needs, and the hosts carry it on the day.
Labelled and kept apart
Every plate carries a name, and food for a child with an allergy is served first, on its own tray.
Party tea
Sandwiches, fruit, vegetable sticks and a small treat, with halal, vegetarian and vegan choices.
from$7 a child
Cake your way
Bring your own cake or let us arrange one; its list of ingredients travels with it.
Severe allergies
When a child carries prescribed allergy medicine, a parent stays at the party with it. We cannot promise any food is entirely without allergens.
Party bags without sweets
Stickers, a craft and a small book instead of sweets, if you prefer.
We are party planners, not a medical service. In any emergency, call your local emergency number first.
From the first message to the last balloon
Five steps, with the guest list and allergies settled well before anyone puts on a party hat.
Age and date
Send the age your child is turning, the date, the place and a theme idea. A planner answers within one working day.
A planning call
Fifteen minutes to agree the theme, the games, the food and any needs among the guests.
Guest list and allergies
Ten days before, you send the guest list with ages, allergies and the adults who are staying.
Party day
Hosts arrive 45 minutes early to decorate, check the room and lay out the games.
Home time
Every child is handed back to their own grown up, then we pack away and leave the room as we found it.
Recent parties
Living rooms, gardens and church halls, with the theme carried from the front door to the cake.
Parents after the party (example reviews)
Our son is autistic, and the hosts asked about him before the day. They gave him the job of holding the treasure map and kept a quiet corner ready, which he used twice before rejoining the hunt.
Two guests had nut allergies, and their plates came out first with their names on. Both of their parents thanked us at pick up, which says everything.
Twenty six eight year olds in a hall, a foam show that had them shrieking and not one tear. The hosts counted every child out at the door.
What grown ups ask us first
Do parents need to stay?
A parent or carer of the birthday child stays for the whole party. Under fives come with one adult each, and for five and six year olds we ask for one adult to every six children. Our hosts lead the games, and the family stays responsible for its guests.
How are allergies handled?
We collect every guest's allergies and dietary needs ten days before, name each plate and serve allergy plates first. We cannot promise any food is completely without allergens, so the parent of a child with a severe allergy stays with their medicine.
What is the youngest age you plan for?
We plan parties from the third birthday. For younger children a short session of songs and bubbles at home often suits better, and we are happy to talk it through.
What if it rains on a garden party?
Every garden game has an indoor version. If there is no room inside, we can move the party to a hall we know, at the hall's own price, when it has space.
Do your hosts dress as characters from films?
No. Our themes and costumes are our own, so children get an adventure rather than a lookalike, and we stay clear of other people's characters.
What if our child is ill on the day?
Call us as early as you can. The party moves to another date within three months at no charge, and the deposit carries over.
Plan a party
Tell us who is turning what, when and where. By the next working day a planner sends back a theme idea and a price.

- Payment is arranged directly with us
