“I booked Elsa the day before her visit for my niece Safa who is currently in hospital after been diagnosed with cancer. She had a beautiful day and Elsa was so amazing she made her day! To see Safa so happy brought tears to our eyes and we cannot thank you enough and would recommend you to anyone and everyone! Elsa was really involved with Safa and many other children at the hospital. The smile on Safa's face was so huge and beautiful thanks to Elsa. This visit is one that neither Safa or anyone else will forget and we all wholeheartedly thank Elsa and Sarah who organised it literally on the Friday for the next day Saturday. The communication with the staff is wonderful and I won't hesitate to contact them again if I want to have entertainment at a party! I wish them the best of luck on the growth of their business as you are all doing a great job and really deserve the recognition!!! Aliya xx”

“Sally entertained at our wedding reception, booked at short notice due to a previous let down. She was very professional with paperwork, risk assessments etc and was clear in her requirements. She arrived in plenty of time to set up and pitched things perfectly for all the ages and interests, was not in your face but was popular with the children and parents from 1-45! Would highly recommend her services as value for money and would definitely use her again! ”

“We started out wanting to find someone who could perform Punch and Judy for our son’s 5th birthday party and discovered Jonathan and that he provided a full package of a two hour birthday celebration. From the moment the children arrived he engaged with them all and started telling jokes, even one or two for the parents who stayed. Once everyone had arrived Jonathan got the children playing a few party games, such as Musical bumps and Statues rolled into one, and after all the games were played each child was given a choice of prize had they been the winner or not. We then had a little break for food, while Jonathan set up for some magic tricks and the Punch and Judy show. The magic tricks were very clever, often giving the Children the belief that they had the solution only to be proven wrong and leaving them with open mouths plus many “wows”. The Punch and Judy show was brilliant. Having seen a few recently it was so good that Jonathan added a moral to the tale, which essentially is not the most PC story, meaning that the children understood that violence is not a good solution. The children were totally captivated throughout the whole of the party and from the comments I’ve had from Mum’s they all thought it was brilliant fun. I would thoroughly recommend Jonathan as an entertainer and should I need a Punch and Judy again in the future he would be my first port of call ”

“We booked 'Just Karen' for a morning of celebrations for the children at our day nursery in Leicester and she did not disappoint! We had a wonderful morning where children took part in lots of bubble play, with the grand finale of being inside a giant bubble! It was so much fun, not only for the children, but the adults too, who were also very keen in having a go themselves. The children were engaged throughout the 1hr 30 session and Karen was very patient and accommodating with the mixed age groups we had (1 - 4 years old). It was such a pleasure to be a part of it and watch the sheer joy on the children's faces. We definitely would (and will!) recommend to others. ”

“Jigsaw Entertainments were fabulous at our children's birthday party (age 5 & 3). The face painting was the best I've seen and the balloon models were a huge hit with all the children. We still have ours 5 days later! Jigsaw Entertainments were extremely professional, arriving on time, and did not stop until the party was over. They were great with the children. The children had a wonderful time and a lot of that was down to Jigsaw Entertainment. ”
