Absolute dream birthday party!
19th April 2026
Jo recently hosted my little boy’s 4th birthday party at our home.
This was the second party we have done with Jo and it was just as much a hit as the first (for my daughter’s 5th!).
Jo brought a variety of different play trays, all tailored to a spidey theme (birthday boy’s request!) and also did a couple of different art activities. The kids loved being able to take their creations home with them.
Jo is so friendly and personable and makes life feel so much easier! She brings absolutely everything she needs, sets up, hosts and keeps the kids attention and then clears everything away.
If you are after a party that fully engages the kids and adds zero stress to your life – this is the way forward!
The best bit is that because of Jo’s background as a teacher, she can adapt to cater for all different ages and abilities which means I’ll be able to host these stress free parties each year but they will feel different for the kids each time!
Thank you Jo for making my life a little easier and providing a party that the kids absolutely loved!
Birthday dreams come true!

My daughter asked for a SpongeBob themed arts and crafts party, and my gosh did Jo deliver!!! She is truly incredible at what she does, from the thought and detail that goes into every activity to her super friendly and engaging personality! All the children had a great time, and every single parent made the same comment – ‘this is the most chilled kids party I’ve ever been to!!!’
Which is a huge credit to Jo; for putting together such fun and interesting activities, they were totally engrossed in!
Luna will remember her 5th birthday party for a very long time! Thanks again Jo xxx
Five star party!
22nd March 2026
Our School Ready with Jo party was wonderful! From booking the party to the tidying up at the end, the whole process was seemless. Jo thought about every aspect asking for my daughter’s interests to make the party bespoke, and her organisation and attention to detail was second to none. Her enthusiasm and kindness with the children made it a really lovely afternoon. We can’t thank you enough for all of the time and effort you put into making Iris’ party so great. In the words of her sister “It was the best party ever!” 🥰🤩
Best Craft Party
22nd March 2026
Jo hosted the best arts and crafts party for our 8 year old daughter and it was honestly such a lovely experience. Jo asked our daughter what her interests are and what she wanted to do. And Jo made all her wishes come true. The kids had an amazing time from the moment they arrived till they left with all their master pieces.
Such a fun, creative party and we’d definitely recommend it to anyone planning a birthday celebration x
Slime and craft party
18th March 2026
Jo hosted an arts and crafts birthday party for my seven-year-old daughter and it was absolutely incredible. The thought, effort, time, and genuine care she puts into creating the perfect party really shows—she truly goes above and beyond.
From painting to slime-making (which was my daughter’s special request), every detail was handled beautifully. Each child got to make two pots of slime, and they also created some amazing canvases to take home.
It was such outstanding value for money, and the whole experience felt really special from start to finish. I honestly couldn’t recommend Jo more—she’s amazing!
Amazing 5th birthday party 🥳
18th March 2026
Jo hosted a brilliant party for my daughter’s 5th birthday and went above and beyond to ensure the party was perfect for her. From my first enquiry, Jo communicated clearly, listened to what we wanted and gave her own professional suggestions. Every detail was planned for and on the day the party went so smoothly because of Jo’s organisation and attention to detail. There was something for everyone (age range from 2-8!) and all the children had a wonderful time and took home some brilliant pieces of art work. The children loved Jo and she had time for each individual child ensuring they all felt special. Thank you Jo – we appreciate your hard work and effort and can’t wait to book another party 🥳
Gabby Dollhouse theme - Birthday party
17th March 2026
Jo did an absolutely wonderful job helping to host G’s 5th birthday party. She was so engaging with the children, incredibly well organised, and flexible when needed. She really understood our brief and brought it to life perfectly, all while being so friendly and approachable. The children adored the crafts she had planned, and we had so many lovely compliments from the adults too. Thank you so much, Jo, for helping us create such a special and memorable party! 🎉 💗
5th birthday party:)
17th March 2026
Jo recently hosted an arts & crafts party for my daughter’s 5th birthday, at our home. From the second Jo arrived, she felt like an old friend. The kids adored her and she made everyone feel instantly comfortable. Jo bought absolutely everything with her, from table cloths to her own water supply and cleared everything up, as though she had never been there. No mean feat after doing crafts with 10 kids! The activities were based around themes that the birthday girl was interested in which made it even more special. All of the kids (of varying ages) loved every second of this party and as a parent, I couldn’t have had a more stress free experience. Thank you Jo for making her birthday so special and we can’t wait to see you again for the next one!
