Testimonials

We were delighted with how the party went and Emily did a wonderful job of entertaining the kids. She was punctual, friendly, great at holding the children’s attention, and very sensitive around our request not to put Rosa on the spot too much. As a result Rosa had a lovely time and felt comfortable. We were really pleased we made the decision to book with you, as it enabled us to enjoy the party more and chat to the other parents, knowing the kids were happy and having fun. The balloon modelling was a particular hit, as were pass the parcel and musical statues. Please pass on our thanks to Emily for all her help on the day - it was lovely to meet her.

I’d also like to thank you for being so responsive on emails and for the helpful chat on the phone last week. It helped reassure me that everything was in hand, and overall I’ve found your company very efficient and easy to work with.

Thanks again - we would not hesitate to recommend Puddles to our friends.
— Jo - Rosa's mum
The party was great! Having your company supporting us to organize and execute the party was critical for a successful party. We had great feedback from the attendees as well. The decoration was great, the team doing the activities was very proactive, dynamic, and giving special attention to our boys and organization, inclusive of cleaning, was perfect.
— Fernando, Gabriel and Pedro's dad

In person - Party package and entertainment

Thank you for the party entertainment. Tatiana was incredible. She managed the kids so well, and our pizza delay!

Kenan had a great time. It was just the best day. He’s still raving about it.
— Dijle, Kenan's mum
Puddles is actually great value for a service that sets the entire party up, keeps the kids beautifully entertained, feeds them fresh food, and then cleans up after! The party went so smoothly and my daughter and her friends had a blast. I could not have asked for better, more kid-friendly entertainers and the planner ran a very tight ship. I am sure we will use Puddles from now on!
— Imani, Saorla's mum
 
 
Everything was lovely - the decor, the mermaid girls and organiser, Sam - everything was perfect.
— Yulia, party for Luna, Yara, and Vera.
Thanks again Luisa was fantastic and did a great jobs we had around 10-12 kids and despite the frown in this photo Marta had a wonderful birthday.

Fabulous Princess party with fun and games. Very enjoyable for all.
— Bimal, Marta'sa mum
A quick message to thank you and say how absolutely wonderful Emily was yesterday. She was on time, organized, and helpful. Above all, she was so great with all of the kids. The parents on the sidelines were guessing she was a teacher and raving about how “she must work with children because she knows how to manage them so well”. And the birthday girl has already asked if Emily can come to her butterfly party next year.

Emily also kindly tested for covid and let me know, which I appreciate isn’t really a done thing anymore. I can’t thank her enough.
— Holly, MJ's mum
I wanted to let you know that Desi, Emily and Fraser were absolutely superb today. They took control of everything and managed the party brilliantly. I am really impressed and the children loved it. The party exceeded my expectations and I am really glad I went with you. Please pass my thanks to the team.
— Rosa, Amelie's mum
 
 
It was an amazing party, really well set up and organised. Riyan had a blast and some of the feedback I got from parents was that their children had said it was the best birthday party they had been to ever so far. 
So this was so lovely to hear. 

Thank you so much for all your help in getting Riyan’s special birthday organised, as he absolutely loved the super hero/ Spider-Man theme. 
— Kalpna and Ricky, Riyan’s parents
Just wanted to say thank you so much to you and the whole team on the day. The decorations were fantastic ( the place was transformed), the entertainers were brilliant, kept the kids engaged and having fun and even adapted. They all went outside to run around after cake and (forgive me for not catching her name) but our unicorn entertainer went outside with them to blow bubbles even though it was freezing! Bless her. And Nazli was so helpful and kept it all running smoothly. The feedback from all the parents was how great the party was and most importantly my daughter had the best time! So thank you all so much, I am so pleased I booked you! 
— Joan-Ann, Allegra's mum
The party was wonderful and stress free for us. All the children had a great time and the entertainers were very welcoming and upbeat. 
Tara had the most amazing time. 
— Priti, Tara's mum
 
 
We all had such a fantastic time at the party yesterday, it all went so well and parents and children really enjoyed it and especially Albert and Robyn.
The team were super organised and helpful and allowed Caroline and myself to enjoy the party and be sociable.
Aga (who Caroline had at her older daughter’s party Lydia as well) was amazing, such a nice host and made everything look effortless.
We were really glad we had the snow machine that really added an extra element to the party which the kids went mad for.
— Caroline and Jo, joint party for Albert and Robyn
The party was excellent thank you, it all felt very easy and we very much appreciated the efforts of the Puddles team to make this happen. The nature trail was fab, and everyone loved the venue. 
Thank you so much
— Olivia, Seren and Esme's mum
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! 🥳
We absolutely LOVED the party last Sunday. The decorations were wonderful. The space looked beautiful and was arranged well. The entertainers were fun. All of the kids were happy and laughing. (Parents didn’t have to make 25 sandwiches). Everyone had a great time.

Aurora had a lovely birthday and has asked if we can hire you all again next near.
Many thanks.
— Eowyn, Aurora's mum
The party was great, thank you! Iwona, Fraser and Sam were absolutely perfect!
Looking forward to booking your team again!

I am delighted to give some feedback. Eleanor was prompt, absolutely professional and totally organized for Beth’s party. She was engaging with Beth, even when she was setting up the party and Beth was ready to start playing with her! Eleanor made Beth feel very special and was so kind to her throughout the whole morning. She was wonderful with the children and was fun, imaginative and attuned to their play. She made me feel completely relaxed and reassured that the children were being looked after, so that I could get on with organizing the food and welcoming parents and children without any worry at all. I would absolutely recommend Eleanor and Puddles to anyone planning a children’s party. Thank you so much for making it a special day for Beth and her friends!
— Georgia, Beth's mum
Just wanted to say thank you very much for Alex’s 6th birthday party on Saturday morning. It was AMAZING! 
Everyone from puddles was excellent, and incredibly helpful. I was very impressed by how well the room was set up when we arrived, and how quickly it was all cleared away after the party - zero stress for us, which was fantastic. And you and your team were so brilliant with the kids! 
Alex had the best birthday. He enjoyed every minute of it, and so did his friends. 
Thank you so much. 
— Sarah and Antonio, Alex's parents
The party was awesome and the entertainers were excellent with the kids! They listened to them which was impressive and I think the adults enjoyed themselves almost as much as the kids!
— Nicolas, Elliot’s dad
I would like to say a big thank you to Audrey, she was absolutely amazing & great with the kids, I don’t think I would have managed without her! I would definitely hire an entertainer again as this was my first time doing so!
— Catherin, Xavier's mum

Puddles entertainer Eleanor

 
We wanted to say a big thank you to Eleanor for being such an amazing entertainer at Anna’s birthday party! Eleanor started talking to and playing with Anna from the moment she arrived. She was very energetic and kept children engaged and included in all the activities, from the beginning to the end. We were very pleased that Eleanor took note and followed our requests and suggestions regarding the party, including Anna’s favourite game and the soundtrack.
And the most important thing - Anna was extremely happy, she said she didn’t even expect a birthday party to be so great!
— Irina and Alexey, Anna's parents
HE. WAS. FANTASTIC.
Honestly, he was the party. What a legend.
— Claire, Ace's mum about SamTastic
 
 
Thank you so much for your help throughout organising Ruby’s party and the team were amazing on the day.

The entertainers did very well at entertaining ruby and her friends for the two hours, the treasure hunt and games being the guests’ favourite activities. They were professional and very engaging with the children. Ruby was made to feel very special and thats all any parent wants.

The coordinator was amazing and I could relax and enjoy watching ruby and her friends have the ‘best party ever’ as many of the children left saying. It was a strange feeling not having to lift a finger and definitely something I could get used to in terms of children’s parties. It was by far the easiest party I’ve had to organise and hold, which is down to your team.

Puddles have been absolutely fantastic and I have highly recommended you to other parents.
— Alex, Ruby's dad
 
 
IT WAS AMAZING! The children absolutely loved it and so did we. We will definitely be booking for next year :)
— Ali, Noa and Rafa’s mum
We had a great time. Tatiana was amazing! We loved her having with us and made a huge difference to our celebration. Will stay in touch in the future.
— Bautista’s dad
I want to say thank you SOOOO much to you and you team for a wonderful and truly memorable birthday party! It was such a brilliant event and your team were amazing!
It brought magic to the day. She is still saying ‘I had the BEST Birthday!’ and the children are still talking about it. I’ll be passing your details on at every opportunity.
— Tamara, Eva’s mum
I was impressed with the flexibility on confirmation of numbers of children, catering numbers and general ease of communicating with the Puddles team in the run up to the party. All the staff at the party were extremely helpful and efficient. The entertainer was really excellent and engaged well with some of the slightly harder to please toddlers! The party coordinator ran the party seamlessly and was really helpful generally. A particular thanks to Aleks for helping reunite us with a present we left behind, going out of her way to drop it off at our home.
Thanks again to all the Puddles team for your help- I felt the party was a big success and would certainly plan on using your services again.
— Francesca, Amelia’s mum
Thank you for organising a great party for Marina and making her 5th birthday so special. She was over the moon meeting Anna and Elsa!
I believe that you will get a lot of calls from our guests as they were all very impressed and the girls told me that they handed out a lot of  business cards :)
— Olga, Marina’s mum
I’ve finally managed to get to the photos on the WhatsApp group and they are really lovely, thank you so much for taking those, that’s a really thoughtful extra touch.  I think it’s fair to say that Amelie had an absolutely fantastic time and thanks to your fabulous team, I even managed to socialise with the other parents knowing the kids were being so well entertained!  I felt like I didn’t have to worry about anything relating to the schedule of the party activities, it ran really smoothly and all the other parents were very complimentary about the whole party.  I also really appreciated how available and responsive you and Aleks were in the run up to the party, made me feel much more confident that the party would go well - which it did!
— Lucy, Amelie’s mum
Thank you for your email and thanks so much for a wonderful party! Ezi and his friends all had a fantastic time and it was a great party! When I went to collect Ezi from nursery yesterday, his nursery teachers were very excited to tell me that all the parents had been raving about how much fun Ezi’s party was and saying how their kids were exhausted from soo much fun ;) so thumbs up all round :)
— Leana, Ezi's mum
Katherine enjoyed her party very much. Your team did an excellent job! Mr Puddles was also hilarious!  It was a lovely party. Thank you very much.
Our friends were impressed by the party and I think you will be hearing from at least one parent to assist her with her daughter’s party 
Have a great week and thanks again to you and your team for helping  us to create wonderful memories yesterday afternoon.
— Caroline, Katherine’s mum
Laurie and Spencer had a great time at their party. Tatiana was absolutely brilliant and had them all enthralled for the whole time. Thanks very much for everything.
— Rachel, Laurie and Spencer’s mum
It was absolutely brilliant!!
What is the protocol for tipping? Is there one? The team were fantastic.You have definitely inherited a regular customer - and many of our guests were asking about Puddles!
— Anthea, Sophie’s mum
Evie and all our guests absolutely loved the party!!! Entertainment was superbs, kids were kept busy with a variety of activities! One boy said that it was the best party ever :))) And the decorations were very nice.
— Margarita, Evie’s mum
We had a very successful party on Sunday and it was all thanks to Anouk. She was wonderful with the children and so lovely and friendly. We will definitely book with Puddles for our future parties and recommend you to our friends as well. 
— Aditi, Sara’s dad
Thanks a lot for the party! Emma had the best party ever and a lot of parents were really impressed with the party plan, decorations and entertainment!

The party and the team were wonderful and everybody loved it much.
Certainly we will contact to you  for the future event.
— Ersin, Mehmet’s dad
Thanks so much for the follow up email. We were so, so happy with how the party went yesterday. Thank you all so much!!
Aleks was so kind and professional and I so appreciate her getting the tea/coffee set up last minute; Abby was super helpful throughout the whole party and easy to work with; and I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kaia- she made all the kids so comfortable, and she made Ruby feel so special. Ruby sometimes gets shy at big parties and she wasn’t yesterday- she walked around with a huge smile on her face! She also told me how much she liked Kaia and she even said “I talked with her so much, she was really nice”. The two hour package was absolutely perfect and nothing felt rushed. So many mom friends at the party took down the name of puddles and hopefully will use you guys for parties in the future!!

So everything was perfect - from my heart, thank you again!!
— Olivia, Ruby's mum
Thank you to your team for sending us such wonderful entertainers! The kids had a wonderful time with them. They were so friendly and professional and I’m very pleased with the service! I will definitely come back to Puddles for more parties in the future!
— Phuong, Thomas's Mum
Hello Aleks and team, just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for hosting the perfect and unforgettable party!!!! We and all of our guests were so impressed and had the best time. Really!

We are just recovering from teddy’s party and wanted to feed back right away how fantastic Mr Puddles (Alex) was.

He gauged the activities/ stories and tricks just right. He brought all the kids into the activities and there was constant laughter and huge smiles. Fantastic entertainer and we would very happily use him again.

Thanks for all you support and assistance. A real asset in our party and we will be thrilled to use you again!

Thank you Aleks for the party and for the pictures. It was a fantastic party, very well organized, I would definitely recommend it to other people and will definitely contact you again next year. On top of everything else, we really liked the Picachu mascot and the Pokémon cards. Those too things made the children so happy! Thank you for trying your best to stick to our requested theme.

Just to let you know that we were very happy with Puddles at the weekend. You took all the stress out of organising a party. Ben and Steph were fantastic and really kept the kids entertained which enabled us to enjoy seeing our friends. Communication with yourself has always been helpful, informative and you’ve been very accessible which I really appreciate. The weather was terrible on Saturday but Ben and Steph had already thought of Plan B - bringing the treasure hunt inside!

Thanks again, we will definitely be recommending.
— Pippa, Clem's Mum
Thank you so much for the amazing day yesterday. All the kids had a fantastic day and the girls were superb. There are lots of parents that were so impressed and I hope to attend another party organised by you soon.
— Portia, Jarl's Mum

Excellent party for my 9 year old girl! We opted for the secret agent party and combined with the great venue, the children all had a great time. Aleks and her colleagues all provided EXCELLENT customer service. I have experienced many children’s parties but by far Puddles provides the best experience for both children and parents. Thanks very much for a wonderful day!
— Kris, Kalliope's Mum

Puddles threw the most amazing pirate birthday party for my three year old son. It was so helpful to have Aleks arrange absolutely everything - venue, activities, food, party bags - as I had had another baby a few weeks before. There was the perfect balance of unstructured activities (eg face painting, bubbles) games, and even a treasure hunt, to keep a group of 12 three year olds occupied and entertained. Food was healthy and enjoyed, the entertainers were brilliant, and the venue (the old Wolves Lane Garden Centre) a perfect treasure island. I couldn’t recommend it more highly!
— Kate, Alfie's mum
Big thanks to you and Megan. Megan was brilliant and warm and fun with the kids. They had a great time.

And thank you to you for helping me to plan this and for being so great to communicate with prior to the event.
— JOANA, CLARA'S MUM
Grace and all her friends had a wonderful time yesterday. Stephanie was very good with the children and did a great job. Please pass on my thanks to her.
— KIN, GRACE'S MUM
Absolutely love Puddles. In every regard, they are fantastic and a complete revelation. I was about to leave the next day to go to Asia on business and she just took over the whole operation with bubbles, treasure hunts, fab food, entertainment and above all, a brilliant attitude. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again. Thank you Aleks, you are a total star!
— RINA, AMAHRA’S MUM
I wasn’t sure what to expect when we booked this as i had never been to any party like it. We were all blown away at what a great party it was at the Wood green venue. the children were so excited to be looking for treasure and the face painting and balloons were a lovely bonus. Captain Aleks and Josh were excellent entertainers and party organisers which made for a stress free party for us. Would highly recommend - my 4 year son old and his friends had an amazing time and all the parents complimented us on the fun and novel party idea!
— Meghna, Dilan's mum
You and your pirates and fairies put on an absolutely wonderful party for our two boys’ 3rd and 6th birthdays at the amazing Wolves Lane Palm House. It was great to be able to party in such an awesome location - a real hidden treasure in Haringey.

The Puddles team were totally brilliant, they sorted out our gang of 20 kids really capably and with great enthusiasm and energy, keeping them active and occupied and super-excited through the whole party, with singing and games and treasure hunts and bubbles, as well as a proper sit down party tea.

You really welcomed us, and it was so great to be able to enjoy the party without worrying about the arrangements - we so appreciated being told “leave it to us, everything is ready, there’s nothing for you to do!”

We were so impressed that you all not only kept the party going from strength to strength but also seemed to remember everybody’s names, treated the kids kindly and patiently, and looked after everyone big and small with good humour and happy smiles. You put in so much work, and the attention to the little details like the welcome board with balloons at the venue, the party decorations and all the other nice touches were so lovely!

Our guests (including, importantly, Granny and Grandpa!) we delighted and impressed by the amazing location, and by Puddles’ impressive organisation and dedication, I’ve no hesitation in recommending Puddles team wholeheartedly, you made our birthday celebrations really special and gave us memories to treasure! We’ve been looking at our (quite terrible!) photos from the day and giggling!
— Ed, Zac and Louie's dad
I cannot recommend Puddles enough. Aleks and her team managed the whole process so that not only did I have very little to do, but my son and his friends had an absolutely brilliant time. They loved the treasure hunt and the games, the food was very high quality and well presented and the team who hosted the party were fantastic. I was really thrilled and my son is still talking about his “brilliant” party three months later.
— Sarah, Gabriel's mum
I booked the first ever celebration for my daughter with puddles and was not at all disappointed. Aleks was professional, accommodating and just lovely from the first meeting and throughout the planning process up to the big day. Ours was an unorthodox celebration and I had a lot of requirements that were not your run of the mill party requests, and Aleks was absolutely brilliant at tailoring the party to be exactly how I wanted. The end result was one of the most memorable days; the children were engaged, involved, and thoroughly entertained. The parents were able to sit back and relax and the catering was perfect too.
I’m still getting compliments about how brilliant the day was - even though I barely lifted a finger! I can’t recommend Aleks enough
— Mariam, Khadijah's mum
Aleks is a godsend, totally taking care of everything so that I could just enjoy everything with the birthday boy! It was the perfect length of party, with so much packed in!

Aleks and Captain Josh are so gentle and considerate with the kids too, never shouting or scaring them, even though they’re scary pirates! One of the little ones was afraid of big scary Captain Josh but he blew some bubbles and soon made friends! :)

Everything was such a massive hit, from the toasting marshmallows to the face painting, the treasure hunt and making pizzas, dancing, games and finally cake! There were even goody bags from the lovely pirates!

I can’t say enough good things about Puddles or recommend them enough!
— Boudicea, Tony's mum
Aleks was amazing. She took all the stress out of the day which meant I could just enjoy myself and did not have to worry about anything. I was amazed at how many activities she managed to fit in for the children. The other parents also commented on how Aleks and Captain Josh were the first children’s entertainers they had met who did not feel the need to shout (I personally cannot stand those shouty parties!!!!). Toasting marshmallows was a massive hit, followed by face painting, treasure hunt, making pizzas, dancing, games and finally cake and a great goody bag from the lovely pirates. Everyone loved it and I couldn’t recommend Puddles enough! Thank you! Now the only problem is, how do we top this for Max’s 5th birthday?!?!?!”
— Anna, Max's mum
Thank you so much to you and your team today. You did an amazing job. Yasmin and all her friends had a fantastic time. I have had lots of messages about what a marvellous party it was. It was a day to remember.
— Leila, Yasmin's mum
It was fantastic and I think Zac and all the kids had a great time. I had some really positive comments from the other parents too. Keep up the good work!
