FEEDBACK

It was such a lovely event, and Lorna and Sinéad were phenomenal, I cannot praise them highly enough! They were just perfect for that particular event/venue, they went with the flow, were so relaxed and approachable, and the children and their parents responded so well to them.

The children had an absolute ball and that is at the end of the day what it is all about. Thank you again so much, your team are amazing and ye are always top of my list as I know I can rely on every member of your team to go above and beyond, as they all clearly love what they do. They are absolutely professional, yet you can also see it is not about the money but about the joy they bring and the fun they have doing their job.

Leixlip Youth & Community Family Resource Centre

Just wanted to say a huge thanks for today! The kids had such a great time at the Messy Play workshop, there was something for everyone and they responded so well to the child-led nature of the activity! Sarah was great and worked so well with all the kids. Some of the activities she brought were a HUGE hit with the kids, so much so that I might ask where you actually purchased them from!

My daughter had an absolute ball playing in the sand pits and soil on Saturday. It was the best Big Grill we’ve been at, and the entertainment provided by you made the difference. We loved the music and dancing too!

We worked with Mireia Lopez and Discovery Playtime to completely revamp the creativity side of our adventure camps, starting with a review of our arts and crafts segment. What we quickly realised was that everything Mireia brought to the table was relevant across the board – her insights and approach will impact every part of our camp experience.Our camps are multifaceted, and Mireia designed a tailored programme that included on-site training for our Instructors and Leaders. Her sessions were fun, hands-on and highly engaging, and the team responded so positively. That’s a real credit to Mireia’s open, playful and effective teaching style.The entire process added huge value to what we do, and we couldn’t recommend her more for anyone looking to refresh or enhance their programme. Top marks from all of us – A1!
