Worcestershire Fete / Carnival Brilliant. THE FACILITATOR ON THE DAY WAS GREAT WITH BUCKETS OF ENTHUSIASM. He adapted to the needs and requirements of our children beautifully. This was something new for us as requested by our young people and we will be looking to book again for next years event. Thank You so much.

Worcestershire Youth Theater We had a fantastic afternoon when Steve came into work with our 4 - 6 year old group. The children were enthralled and loved every minute. Steve's pace was perfect and he pitched it just right to the group. Parents also joined us for 20 minutes and they absolutely loved it. Thanks so much Steve.

Essex Family Event The Children had lots of fun and even some of the parents joined in when they came to collect their children. A good fun day all round. It was great fun and Nick held the childrens interest very very well. I would definitely book again should we decide to do the same for the childrens activities next year..

Brownie Leader 18th July 2019
Warwickshire Brownies Shooting Stars circus skills provided an excellent focus for our Brownie mini festival. After an initial safety briefing, the girls could dip in and out of the session with help provided when they needed it. The instructor adapted well to the space available and the fact that it wasnt a formal workshop session. At the end he performed some stunts and tricks for the girls and parents to watch. We would definitely use Shooting Stars again..

Somerset Cubs Steve ran one of the best evenings of the year for our cub group. All the children had a fantastic time, learned new skills and were completely engaged for the whole 90 minutes. The session was run at the perfect pace, giving plenty of time to practice but also giving them new things to try. I would thoroughly recommend Shooting Stars to anyone who works with young and not so young people..

Kent Guides This was a fantastic experience for my Guides and the leaders alike! I have never experienced a circus skills session like this one. It was fantastic to actually be taught how to use the different equipment properly instead of them all just being dotted around the floor. I love the different stages of difficulty that you can do with each piece of equipment meaning everyone could work at different levels at the same time and I love the encouragement for the girls to try something new with each skill such as passing a spinning plate around your back etc... Nick was fantastic and I would definitely highly recommend to anyone and everyone!.

Daphne,
Southgate Division Commissioner 8th July 2019
Hertfordshire Rainbows, Brownies, Guides Fred was absolutely brilliant.
He rang just before to find out the number of girls and how they would be split for the three one-hour sessions and arrived 30mins before the start time, giving time to unload.
He demonstrated and gave clear instructions which included safety issues relevant to each piece of equipment. He supported the Rainbows which meant they achieved success particularly with the plate spinning and helped the Guides with the unicycle etc and encouraged them with specific instructions to improve. Fred mentioned a few girls who were especially good at the activities. The Brownies were also challenged and tried their best, all achieving success in some way.
Fred showed exceptional skill, patience and positivity during all three of the hour sessions he did for us, with no break. He was friendly, kind and delightful-definitely a star!
The girls loved it all and I've had positive comments of praise from all the other leaders present and from many of the girls themselves.
Also thank you for fitting us in at quite short notice.
Thank you so much. It was just perfect.
Best wishes Daphne.

Kent Cubs Later start due to problem with original instructor but we were kept informed of what was going on - giving us time to rearrange our other activities.
The session was great and because of the diversity of skills there was something for everyone- of all ages.
I would just comment that for booking the first time I would have been happier being asked for a deposit. Not paying one did make me a little nervous that no one would turn up!.

Nick the instructor kept things moving well and we had a good variety of activities - he was flexible and let the group make some decisions about what came next. This has given our scouts a wonderful experience and shown them what they can achieve when they try. Excellent.
