What to expect…

It is a very exciting time planning your little one’s birthday party. You will be wanting everybody to have a lovely time – little ones, big ones and of course the adults too! This can be difficult to achieve sometimes if the party is themed or age appropriate only, as it will then limit the amount of participation from your party guests. For example, if you have organised a fairy party and there are cousins coming that are boys, they may not want to be seen dancing around like mystical creatures! If a party is age appropriate only and we were only to bring props and games for toddlers, older children will not be interested and probably end up running around and making it difficult for an entertainer to hold the interest of the other children. So, we’ll do everything we can to make sure that our children’s birthday parties can be enjoyed by EVERYONE!

Party plan…

1. Our first game is a special game for our birthday boy or girl. An experience loved by all, it helps make them feel extra special and relaxes their guests into the party. 45 minutes of fun starts with our Hello song with Louie the Frog.

2. With the help of our amazing puppets, props & games our adventure starts! From the moment we march up the hill to reach the castle, to the time we start waiting for our bus to go to the seaside, the children in the party will be engaged and very excited to be a part of such an amazing party. This first part of this wonderful adventure will last for 45 minutes.

3. Then, we’ll break for a well-deserved lunch and birthday cake (supplied by yourself). This is a good time to have the birthday cake, as we’ll give you time to cut it and pop it into the party bags or have as a dessert. We will be happy to bring the children together for this at the end of their party lunch before we restart our adventure.

4. The fun and games will continue for a further 45 minutes, allowing you time to clear up and come and enjoy some time with your child on their special day.

5. Our Parachute Game ends the party with balloons for the children to take home.

6. The birthday child will receive a very special gift from Louie to help them remember their special birthday party with LeapAlong.

7. It’s time to hand out your party bags and say goodbye to your very happy and tired guests (and their parents!).

We have lots of tips for party food/party bags which we will be happy to discuss once you have booked your child’s party with us. We also can recommend some great halls that are clean and roomy and have large safe parking areas. Please note that we require a fairly large space for the children to move around and have a lovely time, so you’ll need to bear this in mind when choosing the right venue for your children’s birthday party!


“Amazing party today, Maria! Thanks so much – my son, his brother and friends adored it. I’ve left a review on Facebook and gave out leaflets with party bags too. My friend wants a LeapAlong party next year! You have such an amazing business – I’m an educational psychologist and used to be a primary school teacher – this is just brilliant stuff for kids and so well planned out.”

Lovely comments from the Parents...

  • I currently attend LeapAlong with my 2nd daughter and she absolutely loves it. Her confidence in counting, colour recognition and early phonics has grown tremendously. My eldest was also a big fan of Louie & Deb when the classes first started and now, in Year 2, she is an advanced reader, due I’m sure, to her early exposure to phonics through LeapAlong classes.

  • In very few classes, my daughter – who is extremely shy and at the time refused to speak – has come on in leaps and bounds… This class is absolutely brilliant in both stimulating her mind and encouraging her to talk and join in. She’s much more confident and loves every class!

  • Just wanted to say a big than you to Debbie, Francesca now recognises all her simple phonics and is able to tell me the sound that almost any word starts with. LeapAlong has helped her immensely and given her a really solid foundation of knowledge for school. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our time at LeapAlong. Thank you!
