Party FAQs


The following information may answer some of your questions:

What can I expect at an Amanda Party?

Amanda's Action Club parties are unique, high-energy, physical extravaganzas involving music, singing, dancing, actions, rhymes, games and fun. Our parties follow the Amanda's Action Club class format but in a unique way to make the birthday child feel really special.

We don't have a 'one-size-fits-all' approach - every party is unique and tailored especially for the age of the child and the things they like best. Each party involves a selection of props specially selected for the age of the child. Below are some of the things you can expect, depending on the age of your child:

  • Under 3s : Nursery rhymes, dancing, unique props, bubbles, parachute games...
  • 4-5 year olds : Nursery rhymes/ pop music, parachute games, sports activities, races, traditional party games, limbo, catwalk...
  • 6-8 year olds : Party dances, limbo, disco dancing, karaoke, interactive team games, races...

 

Should I book a room or hall or have the party at home?

Amanda's Action Club parties need, as a minimum, enough space for the children to sit comfortably in a circle. The older the kids the more space you're going to need. If your home doesn't have a lot of floor space or if you have precious ornaments in the home then we advise hiring a venue. Remember Amanda's Action Club parties are very physical and full of action, dancing and exercise.

Try the halls for hire listing in the party section on the http://www.netmums.com site where you live. Halls for hire can start from as little as £10 an hour - and are money well spent, if you're at all concerned about disrupting your home.

 

How many children should I invite to the party?

If your venue is a typical family home we recommend no more than 10-15 children. Otherwise we're legally restricted to a maximum of 35 children per party host.

 

What do I need to provide?

Amanda’s Action Club parties are easy. You only need to provide four things:

  1. A room big enough for all the children at the party to sit comfortably in a circle.
  2. A plug point for our music.
  3. A medium-sized table.
  4. The children!

 

How long does it take you to set up?

Your party host will arrive at least 20 mins before the party is scheduled to begin. That gives us enough time to set up all the equipment and bring in all the props and toys that make an Amanda's Action Club party special. If possible it helps if we can unload as close to the venue as possible.

 

Can I have a themed party (e.g. fancy dress)?

We're very happy for you to have a theme for the party but our Party Hosts will always be dressed in their Amanda's Action Club uniform. We suggest that as our parties are so active and physical guests should not wear high heels. Do let us know your theme in advance (if you have one) as we have theme-music to suit certain parties - if it's a pirate party we can provide a treasure hunt on the day.

 

How many adult helpers do we need?

This will depend on the age of the children, the very young will need their parents/ carers to help them join in the fun ... they may be a little self-conscious at first but we find that children dance best when adults dance with them ! For older children it’s still good to have extra adults on hand to manage toilet runs and help supervise if necessary.

 

Can we have a joint party with another family?

Yes of course - but parties over 35 children will need two entertainers. Please call to discuss your requirements and to get a quote.

 

How far in advance do we need to book an Amanda party?

We are currently taking bookings as far as 6 months in advance so we advise to book as soon as possible to ensure you get the date you want.

 

Can you provide party food and cakes?

Yes, we can organise party food and a celebration cake for your event. Please call us for further information and prices.

 

Can you entertain at a wedding or corporate function?

We have successfully entertained at many corporate events and weddings - all we need is a room, an electric plug point and some adult supervision. Call our team to discuss your needs.
