Thank you so much to all our beautiful, kind hearted customers and friends for their such lovely messages of support and well wishes.. absolutely warms our hearts 💕

The Natwest fraud Team are sorting it and fingers crossed we will get the money back! So happy and relieved!! 🙏

Bills will be a bit late being paid but just so grateful we should be getting it back!

It originated from Saudi Arabia apparently! 😡 All transactions from Booking.com site. The fraud team said they are having a lot of fraud cases with the site!

There really are some vile people out there!!

Thank you all again for being so caring and kind. Means so much! We are only a small little business so hit us really hard this morning when we found out what had happened but a lot calmer now....phew!!

Lots of love and well wishes to all you lovely people ❤️ ###

Gary and I are so upset 😪. We work so hard to keep a roof over our precious children's heads and some little sh*tes have hacked our business account and taken every penny 😪

We have lots of bills for the business going out Monday that won't get paid because some vile pieces of crap have emptied the account 😡

I've been told to call back at 8am, when the fraud team are open but there is no guarantee we will get the money back 😪😔

Why are people so vile 😫.

We are a small little family business that try our best to make our fab customers happy with our service and work 7 days a week to keep up with the cost of living, for some scum people to take everything we have 😪😪

Please avoid paying by bank transfer lovely people until we can get the cards cancelled 😔 xx

3 out of our 4 baba's have birthday's this week with our little girl Lexi turning 7 today, bless her and the twinnies will be 3 on Thursday 🥳🎉🎈. Can't believe how quick the years have gone!! Literally scares me how fast time flies 😲 xx

I will reply to any messages as and when I can, but please, please bare with us while we take a little bit of time out to focus on our 4 little miracles 🥰

Thank you all for keeping us so busy again this year.....we really, really, really appreciate each and every one of our fab customers, who have either hired us to host/entertain or hired castles from us....you are all THE BEST!! 🙏🫶

Hope everyone is having a fab Summer and making the most of the Sun 🌞 ☀️ ###

Chuffed to bits to hear the littlies enjoyed themselves 😀😃

This fab customer is definitely right about us enjoying what we do 🥰. The kiddies are such a joy to be around... and very accepting of crazy DJ Heidi and DJ Gary 😂🤣😅......I do wonder who has more fun sometimes though....Gary and I....or the party guests?!?! 🤪😜🤭🤗

So grateful to everyone who hires us and let's us be part of their little cherubs special days 💖

I wanted to say the biggest thank you to everyone who takes time out to leave a review on our page.... coupled with all the super recommendations we get from all you blinking lovely lot, it is the reason we are lucky enough to still be going and to be as busy as we are 🥰😍

Every time we see a review come up, it puts the BIGGEST smiles on both mine and Gary's face 🙂😀🥰.

Do you know what also makes us smile from ear to ear???...... not only receiving such lovely comments just after we've hosted a party or came to do a pick up, but when after the event, I receive a lovely message or email, once again thanking us and to let us know we've made you guys happy! This is just the absolute best 👌

Even this weekend, despite being ill during this week and being close to losing my voice and sounding like a gigantic croaking frog and worrying if I could get through another weekend of back to back parties, as well as stressing I was going to let our lovely precious little people and their adults down...I've been overwhelmed with all the beautiful, positive messages I've received from our fab customers, when I got back home 🥰. Thank you sooooooooo much 🙂

Sorry for the long post... just wanted to express our gratitude and let all our gorgeous customers know it is appreciated more than you know 🙏

Much lovely always

Heidi and Gary ❤️🩵 ###

**Help for those precious littlies with sensitive ears 🥰**

For some children, noisy parties, especially Disco's, can be extremely overwhelming and a bit too much for their sensitive ears 🙉.

So that we can be more inclusive to all the precious little ones needs, as well as being able to provide the use of a Sensory/fidget tray (Available on request for no extra charge 😉), we've decided to invest in some Ear Defenders that your child can use at any of our Disco parties 🥳 🎉

No need to explain to us why it is needed, just come and ask Gary or myself for a set of ear defenders and they are yours to hire Free of Charge for the whole duration of the party 🥳

4 colours to choose from... Blue, Pink, Green or Red 🤩

No child should feel excluded or to not feel comfortable. We will always try to help where we can 😍

Happy New Year lovelies 💖 xx
