Amanda's Action Kids Party Testimonials

Below is a selection from the many testimonials from professional people, mothers, children and celebrities who have been entertained by Amanda.

“My children will only groove to Amanda's Action Kids. If they grow up to be Pan's People, we will have only Amanda to thank. It's fab!”

Mark Durden-Smith

TV property developing expert Sarah Beeny asked Amanda's Action Kids to entertain 20 toddlers for her little boy's birthday party. Sarah, who has two boys aged one and three, said: "Amanda was the first entertainer we've had and we thought she was fab. She was full of life and really bubbly. They were mostly boys and a tough bunch of kids but she kept them under control the whole time and was really enthusiastic."

Sarah Beeny

Mother-of-three Louise Adams is a big fan of Amanda’s Action Kids and has turned to Amanda to entertain at all three of her children’s birthday parties.
“What I especially like about Amanda is her energy and imagination. Her parties are brilliant for both children and parents,” she said. “Amanda entertains for the whole time she is there and the parents don’t have to do anything. I’ve had other entertainers for my children’s parties and you just cannot compare. Most of them are the same and the children get bored after 10 minutes. But Amanda’s parties keep going for hours.”

It was Louise's superstar sister Victoria Beckham (nee Adams) who invited Amanda to host the Beckhams’ 2006 World Cup party for a group of disabled children. Louise explains: “The party was in my sister’s garden at her home in Hertfordshire and she asked Amanda to entertain the children. It was a huge success so both myself and my family will continue to ask Amanda to entertain in the future.”

Louise has three young children - Liberty, eight, Tallulah, five, and two-year-old Finn - so, with all those birthday parties, she needs a children’s entertainer she can rely on.

“I will definitely use Amanda again - and so will many of the other parents who have seen her in action.”

Louise Adams

Catherine Tate and her husband Twig Clarke asked Amanda’s Action Kids to host a birthday party for their four-year-old daughter and were impressed by how much energy Amanda brought to the proceedings.

“She was amazing” Catherine said. “There were 25 three and four year olds and Amanda was great, really energetic. There was loads of stuff going on - bags and bags of toys for the children to play with and constant music including some really funky nursery rhymes. In fact, we could go into the other room and close the door if we wanted to. The children just followed her around and she even had them tidying up afterwards. They had so much fun. Amanda was recommended to us by friends and we would certainly recommend her to friends - in fact, we already have.”

We would just like to say a HUGE thank you for making our little girls 6th Birthday so special. All her friends have voted hers the best BEST party ever!

Lisa made me feel at ease throughout, and organised everything at Alex's party leaving us to just enjoy ourselves!

Thank you so much.

Gill & Pete n Alex!

 

I just wanted to thank you both for making my daughter, Georgina's 3rd
birthday party so special. The feedback I have received from the other parents has been amazing. Several have said that it is the best birthday party they have ever attended, and all remarked on how brilliant Amanda was in getting every single child to join in.

Georgina herself had a wonderful day, and her favourite thing is to watch
the DVD of her party and re-live all the excitement. I am sure you will get
quite a few bookings in future from the parents and children that attended!

Hope to see Amanda soon at an Action Kids class, I hope both of you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Kind regards,
Chantal Waight

I just wanted to say that we had a great party on Sunday. It was a huge success THANKS TO LISA who was amazing, beyond our expectations, she has so much energy and kept the kids amused and entertained and different age kids all enjoyed it thoroughly, some kids came to me to say tell her not to leave. She made my daughter's 1 year old birthday a very special day. The props were fantastic with the parachute a big hit. Everyone is asking where I found you and your contact details.

Thank you once again, you are all doing a fantastic job!

Nilpa

Just a quick note to say how fabulous Amanda was at our party today. I know how good she is and so had high expectations - but she was even better than I was expecting! I am sure you will pass on our thanks and appreciation but I would like to drop her a card. Could you let me know of the address I should send it to her please.

Kind regards
Fiona

 

Wow what a fabulous Job!!!!!!

Amanda done an excellent job - it was just fantastic. Fun was had by all parents / Mums included.

The christening went really well. Please pass on our thanks again to Lisa, she was absolutely fantastic - the kids loved her!

Cheers
Jo

 

Just a quick email to say a thank you to Antonia for a sterling job on Sunday - she was absolutely brilliant and all the children were most impressed - I wish that we could have had her for longer. Next time I will plan the party around your availability rather than the other way around.

We were so pleased with the effort that she made for the pirate theme, most inventive. Fantastic service, we will be back!

Kind regards,
Michelle

I just wanted to let you know that Helen was fantastic on our wedding day, 1st September.

The kids loved her. It was a great success.

Thanks for all your help.
Sarah Andrews ( formerly Reeves!)

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Jo for such a fantastic job on Saturday, at my son, Luke's 5th birthday party.

All of the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves. She was fabulous.

Many thanks

Just wanted to say a big "THANK YOU" to Jodi for entertaining all the children at Amy's 4th Birthday party on Saturday. I was a bit worried as Amy kept saying she wanted a bouncy castle but as soon as Jodi arrived Amy forgot all about that and loved every minute of it. Her little brother Thomas, who is only 2, had a ball too and loved joining in with all the activities and games.

I was amazed how easy Jodi made it look to keep them busy for the whole 2
hours - I'm just glad it wasn't me that had to do it. I would recommend this type of party to everyone - it was so stress free and brilliant seeing all the children having such a great time. Everyone that came to the party said what fun the kids had.

Thank you ever so much and please pass on our deepest thanks to Jodi.

Kind regards
Briony

 

Could you please send our thanks on to Amanda for the wonderful job she did on Sunday. All the kids had a great time and Rianna has already told me that she wants Amanda to come to her next party!!

I am immensely grateful to her for staying for the extra time - I think my house and sanity survived because of this (especially in light of the bad weather!!).

Kyal and Rianna would love to send Amanda a thank-you note - is there an office address that we can send this to?

Many thanks
Sunita

Just to let you know we had a wonderful party and Tali had a ball. Lisa was absolutely fantastic and did brilliantly...running in and out of the rain. She really kept the group going under challenging circumstances.

I would certainly recommend and use her again. I will call Lisa tomorrow but please pass on our thanks to her.

Thanks
Jodi

I just wanted to let you know what a fantastic job Jodi did yesterday
entertaining all the children at my son's birthday party in Islington. It
was a fabulous party and all the children loved it - and the grown-ups too.
Please could you pass on our thanks to Jodi.

Best wishes,
Eleanor Layton

Please could you pass our thanks on to Amanda for an amazing party yesterday for our 4-year old twins Ella & Jack.

All the children had a fantastic time - the pace and the energy of Amanda kept them enthralled and the quick movement from one activity to the next was spot on for keeping 24 children busy and stimulated. However it wasn't only the children who enjoyed it; all the adults commented that they had a great time too!

Thanks again - I have two very happy little 4 year olds who were saying "I love Amanda" when she was leaving.

Sally Tomkins

I just wanted to say a big thank you to "Amanda's Action Kids" for such a brilliant party yesterday (Saturday 14th). We hired Leanne for our son Joshua's 4th birthday party, and all the children had such a fantastic time! Leanne was great, and kept them all well entertained for the whole 2 hours. I was a bit worried beforehand, because Joshua is the type of child who can get quite overwhelmed when he's in groups, but he really enjoyed himself yesterday and joined in well!

I knew it would be a good party, as I've seen you twice before when you entertained at an old mother & toddler group I used to go to, and you'll probably be hearing from us again next year for Joshua's 5th birthday party!

Thanks again,
Amanda Bouvier

Pass on many thanks to Leanne for  making Jamie's party fantastic, everybody enjoyed themselves!

Kind regards,

Mr & Mrs Morris

I can't thank you enough for your fantastic act today at Izzy's party. I am nervous about hosting any size of party and was grateful for the way you took over and took the pressure off us, and especially for starting early during our CD player fiasco. The kids loved it, and lots of parents were asking us who you are. Two said they are going to look into booking you for future parties, and I hope that leads to more bookings for you in north London - then hopefully Izzy and Molly can see you again!

With our very best wishes, and thanks again,

Louise (and Andy) Millar

Please pass on my thanks to Leanne for hosting a fantastic party for Alfie and Teddy on Sunday - everyone had a great time and Leanne was bursting with energy!

I will certainly recommend her to my friends!

Kind regards.

Re: Notting Hill & Ealing High School Christmas Bazaar

On behalf of all of the staff, pupils and parents at Notting Hill, I just wanted to say another huge thank you to you for donating your time and services to help raise money at the above event.

Not only did your performance bring a smile to the faces of the children you entertained on the day, but the wonderful music was a fantastic welcome and start to those attending the event.

We raised a total of £7,500 for school equipment, and we would not have been able to achieve it without you and our other sponsors.

On a personal level - we have not stopped listening to your Big Songs For Little Ones CD  - it’s fantastic and totally addictive.  Occasionally the kids are allowed to listen too!  I know our raffle winners were equally impressed and we wish you all the success you deserve.

Thank you again for your kind contribution, and look forward to seeing you soon.

Kind regards,

I wanted to say a big thank you to Amanda. The kids all had a fantastic time and Amanda made Amrita feel really special. Once again thanks for making us all have loads of fun.

Kind Regards,

Sorry it's taken us a while but we just wanted to say thanks for entertaining all the kids (and adults) at Amy's party last month. She had a really great time and is loving the CD you gave her. We have also had some fantastic feedback from our friends.

Hope to see you again before too long.

Love
Karen and Julian Shaw xx

I started taking my baby to Amanda's music classes when he was just 2 months old and could not believe how much my baby boy enjoyed it. She combines music, textures, colours, exercises, language and social skills, thus covering all aspects of child development in a fun session that both the babies and parents enjoy. She caters for their short attention spans by changing activity every two minutes and the babies and children love the bright, fun and educational toys that she uses. Babies it seems are not too young to enjoy a social activity packed session which benefits them and their parents."

Just sending a belated thanks for organising a wonderful 3rd birthday party for my daughter Alexandra recently. The advice given by Jo beforehand was spot on and the day itself, with Amandas entertainment was absolutely fabulous! Feedback from friends has been that it was the best party ever attended!!

Please could I have a postal address for the company to send a thankyou card.

Hope to visit you at one of your classes soon.

Best regards,
Alex, Tim and Amita X

Just wanted to say a big Thank You for the entertainment at Katys party today. We all had a wonderful time, especially the Birthday girl. All of the Mums remarked on how good the two girls were and how much their little ones enjoyed themselves. We have been asked to pass your details on which we do with a big recommendation.

Thanks again.
Best Regards

I brought my son Dylan to his first class 2 weeks ago at Chiswick town hall. He enjoyed it thoroughly and so did I. I am planning to bring him every Friday.

See you this friday.

Sorry about the delay in writing to thank you for the wonderful party you put on for Camee, but we have been on holiday.

You worked tirelessly in such ridiculous heat and children and adults alike thought you were amazing! I had so many phone calls the next day to say thank you for the party and every one of them mentioned you.

Thank you so much for making Camee's birthday so special and I wish you lots of success in the future.

Kind regards,
Claire Gough

I just wanted to say many, many thanks for Freya's party last Friday. She, and I, were delighted with it and I know all of her friends had a great time.

Thank you for all your hard work in making it such a success. I've no idea how you do it for a living as I needed 3 days to recover and I wasn't even entertaining them!!

Many thanks again and see you at your class a week on Monday

Charlotte Mahony

We just wanted to say that we were SO impressed with HELEN, she was amazing - all of the other parents were equally as impressed and there was lots of business card swapping so I think you might get a few more calls from people in Holborn / Bloomsbury in the coming months!

Thanks again - having Helen there made the day!
Cheers
Brendan Kate and Clara Moffitt

I just wanted to say to you what a brilliant job you did. The pace at which you operate, changing the music and activities and keeping the childrens' interest going is quite awe-inspiring. All your kit is fabulous and the interspersing of calming activities with high energy ones is just fantastic!

Thank you very much for an absolutely fabulous party which all the children thoroughly enjoyed, especially Pippa-Feng who wants me to book you for her
5th birthday party.

So, see you same time next year, if not before!!

Love,
Karen

Amandas Christmas Party
Thanks for the great party this morning, we really enjoyed ourselves.

Happy Christmas x
Lots of love

Thank you ..... for doing our party on Saturday - where do you get your energy!
Douglas was thrilled that you were there (and that he got to hog the
limelight and sing!). I know that everyone enjoyed it - especially the ones who hadn't seen you before.

Thanks again and have a great Christmas.
Jane

Although I'm very late to thankyou but then better late than never for a great party that you did for Anay. Your team really did a good job. I have been very busy myself but that is no excuse to not write earlier.
Hope you and the new baby are doing well.
Regards
Shailja Sharma

Thank you, for a great party session for Isabella last Saturday!
A lot of flattering feedback - I've been steering all the mums to the town hall!

Should have said. It was a great party. All the mothers were asking where I got the entertainer from!

Best wishes.

Just to say Thanks again for Saturday..! Great fun! Emma was in her element...her favourite bit was "being given the bumps!"

Could you please pass on my huge thanks to Amanda for doing such a brilliant job last Sunday (14th November - James Biles). I wish I had had Amanda's stamina at 6 months pregnant! Everybody thought she was wonderful and she really did make the party a great success.
Thank you again.

Kind regards.
Alison Biles

Many thanks for the great performance for Kieran’s 1st birthday at Ealing cricket club. Everyone really enjoyed watching you and the kids. I can honestly say you made Kieran’s birthday truly memorable. You received many compliments from mums and kids. I was even told by a friend it was the best 1st birthday party she had ever attended!

Anyway many thanks
Nina Gonsai
PS : good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and don’t work too hard!

Sorry it's taken so long, but I wanted to say a huge thank you for Stevie's party. She loved it, I loved it, everyone loved it! Feedback from friends was great and all said how fab it was to have a whole party with no traumas and tantrums. Your first hour really set the pace and party tea, pass the parcel and the dancing later on all went off without tears. Stevie had a ball, and slept very deeply!

Best Wishes
Dimity

Just wanted to say thanks for the great entertainment you performed for us.
I will be sure to pass your name onto other mums that I know and look forward to using you in the future.

Amanda has been coming to BBC Woodlands Nursery for nearly four years to hold music and movement sessions for our 3-5 years olds. The sessions are extremely age appropriate, fun and varied. Amanda has a vast range of equipment and a huge repertoire of songs and activities for the children to explore and enjoy. The children love these sessions and the parents and nursery staff are extremely reassured that Amanda is a fully qualified instructor.

In fact, the staff and parents are so impressed by the skills that Amanda has shown us to promote physical development, that a music and movement session has now been introduced for the younger children aged 2-3 years.

Physical development is a very important part of our curriculum as it is about improving the skills of coordination, control, manipulation and movement. It helps the children gain confidence in what they can do and enables them to feel the positive benefits of being healthy and active. Amanda comes to Woodlands Nursery each week and through her knowledge and expertise encourages the children to express their feelings thus allowing them to grow in confidence and self esteem.

If you require any further information then please do not hesitate to contact me.

Your faithfully,

Angela V Doidge
Nursery Manager

Amanda’s Action Kids is a great way to enjoy music and movement making exercise fun. Children of all ages can join in together singing, dancing and generally having a good time. It is also a good way to get adults active too! From babies to toddlers everyone at Amanda’s Action Kids was singing, dancing, moving, shaking and enjoying themselves. Also, it is a good way for the children to develop social skills together with speech and language and motor skills. It is a very noisy time with all the musical instruments, singing and excitement that goes on the Amanda’s Action Kids.

Amanda has built a special rapport with the children, before she arrives they are extremely excited a the prospect of her visit and little eyes light up when they see her, the nursery then erupts in crescendo of joy as the children recognize her. It is a wonderful introduction to music, dance and drama.
