My son is turning 4 in September and I've been thinking of hiring an entertainer for his birthday party (have never hired one before). We're not having a huge party but are going to have a little bbq at home with only about 10 kids around 3-5 years old. I've looked at some of the recommendations here but was wondering if it's worth having an entertainer for a small group of kids like this? I know his friends love face painting, balloon modelling etc. so no doubt they would like it. Any opinion and/or recommendations would be much appreciated!

I think for 10 children at home, you could entertain them yourselves with things like making hats, a treasure hunt, pass the parcel, apple bobbing...(or the dry equivalent, hang those circular iced biscuits with holes in the middle on a bit of string for them to try to bite with thir hands behind their backs..)


Maybe make a little mini icecream bar and let them make their own sundaes with fruit, sprinkles, sauce etc?

I agree - I don't think it's worth it for that number of kids. If they like painting then why not make masks (or buy them ready made) and get them to paint them. Or start watching the Mister Maker programme on CBeebies and copy one of his craft ideas. Or have a look on www.kidzcraft.co.uk for inspiration.


Followed by all the usual party games. Love the idea of the mini icecream bar Fuschia has suggested.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't be just be struck off, or the equivalent?

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
