It also has a lot more scope to what we can offer with larger games, and also more children can be invited.

Are you DBS Checked?

Yes i am DBS checked, however please note that my DBS check is for a workshop role, as a self employed person it is Impossible for me to obtain a DBS as an entertainer. Anybody who says they have one for a children's entertainer is doing so illegally as you can only obtain an enhanced DBS for a role that requires it, of which children's entertainer does not. If you wish to know more please contact me and i can send you the official DBS statements.

Cancellations are only accepted over the phone not on an answer phone or by email as these don't always get through to me.
