I don't have any diddies. My youngest is 11, but if you'd like any help with anything let me know.

Mine will be 6 and almost 4 at Christmas.

Little Treasures
Playtime
Lords House Farm does an ok party I believe
or, what about somewhere like the Gamecock that has a play area and a bar for the grown ups?

Has I have said in another thread. The Bubble Factory would be a good place.
There is the play area for the little ones.
People could take it in turnes to watch the little ones that arnt big enough to be left unsupervised.

I think alot of thought will be needed if there will be peeps of different ages, there idea of fun will be different, maybe if you hire a large hall with bar and then you can put on music and games and a buffet.

Ive never done a kids party my mum always does the kids partys so if its a silly idea im sorry.

I'd be interested in bringing Ellie, she's 3, also would gladly help in whatever way I can. I think parents buying the presents is a good idea (suggested on the other thread) but whether we buy for our own kids or for one of the others I dont mind. I think venue etc is dependant on how much effort you want to put in, for example Little Treasures £60 for 12, and I think its £3 or £4 a head after that, but it can be booked for private parties, food and play equipment included. I'm happy to go with the flow though. Think the whole idea is great though.

I think the idea of buying your own childrens present's is a good idea but a price should be agreed on first.

grego · 13-09-2005, 20:35

Yeah I agree Neil or it could get out of hand, just voted in the poll and I've put 2 children would like to bring my nephew whose 4 as well if thats ok.

Gayle · 13-09-2005, 20:46

Bubble factory works for me - only a short walk!

I'm happy to go anywhere though.

DO NOT USE LITTLE TREASURES IN ACCRINGTON,,,,,,I paid 70 pounds for my daughters party at little treasures, i was promised a fun time. What a big waste of money, the staff did not even speak to the children, nor did they interact with the children at the disco. The manager was keen to speak and welcome me when i enquired about booking it. However, once in the party he did not even pass a smile. In the promised Hawaian fun room for food, which was a pokey dark little room at the back of the centre, the plates were set out with sandwiches and biscuits. The children ate the biscuits and left the sandwhiches. then to add insult the staff rushed the children when the were eating and tempted them with ice cream to rush them, that then caused the children to say they did not want their sandwhiches. there was loud banging coming from the gym above which frightened my baby nephew and he cried, i was not told that there would be banging (and it was loud banging like the roof was going to collapse) Manager did not ask if we enjoyed the party he just kept looking at me and the clock when it was nearly time for the children to leave. I took my daughter to use the toilet and there was urine covering the cubicle floor, there was a member of staff in the toilets emptying the bins and did not even attempt to clean the urine. What a let down and a total rip off, glad my daughter was only 3 and didn't pick up on how terrible it was. When i contacted the manager later on in the evening he just said thanks for your comments i'm sorry you didnt like the party and that i should have expressed my concerns to him when he asked how i thought it had gone (which he did not ask).

Gotta say went yon wi Daughter n Grandaughter approx 9 months back to a kiddies party, we remarked after, that we did not see any member of staff interact or speak to any of the kids, was not very impressed, seems its worse still now.
