Jebb was fantastic with the Brownies and Rainbows. His interaction was second to none and he was patient with the girls, praising them when they got it right and helping them to do so when they were having difficulty. He has a great sense of humour too. I've had marvellous feedback from the parents and the leaders had a blast too. We went to Wetherspoons after so he could have something to eat and had a great chat with him about Juggling conventions..

We booked your company for a joint unit Girl Guiding event with girls ranging from 4 to 14. Fred was brilliant with them all, splitting them into two groups one with the younger ones and the other the older girls. All enjoyed having a go at the circus skills demonstrated and were happy to try everything. Fred's enthusiasm was a joy to see and the delight on the girls faces was everything we hoped it would be. Thank you so much, we will be sharing your details with other units in our area and hope to book you again in the future..

I asked from feedback from our leaders.
All praised Joe for his patience, ability to break things down for those needing more time to learn the skills. Joe was prepared to show new tricks to those who picked things up easily.
Joe was very clear with instructions and safety precautions.
Thank you Joe, the Beavers loved the circus skills sessions!

Many thanks, Paul, for running two excellent circus skills workshops for our Brownies and our SEND Girlguide group. You pitched each session absolutely spot on. The girls thoroughly enjoyed their plate spinning and flower stick routines and they all had fun in the "free time" session. There was plenty of variety so every girl was able to find something they enjoyed and the leaders too!.

Having your instructor at the event was extremely good and he appeared to be kept busy for the whole time he was present. Our only comment was that he was so popular that he could have done with having a second instructor. I believe that the first year you came to us we did have two instructors. We do not do these Fun Days very often, but would certainly be calling upon you again when we have another. [We did not make any charge for the children [and adults] who wanted to have a go as this was intended as something FOR the village, not as a money making event for the village Association]
Thank you.
Best wishes

The whole school thoroughly enjoyed our visit from Shooting Stars Circus Skills. The Science show was captivating and had us all sat on the edge of our seats! The links made to the Science curriculum were very clear and our presenter was excellent at ensuring the children were learning about forces without them even realisng. The follow up workshops were equally good - engaging, fun and exciting. Thank you very much for a memorable day..

Sarah was a charming, engaging young lady and a credit to your organisation. Despite operating solo she set to with a will and, proving extremely popular from the outset, continued professionally non-stop for the full 3 hours. Indeed, the public were enjoying our event so much that they were reluctant to leave so Sarah happily kept going beyond the agreed timings. It would not be untrue to say that Sarah’s contribution was a key element to a very successful Coronation event. We would definitely book her again..

This was a brilliant experience. Set up was slick and very well organised. Nick adapted easily to our needs and was in total control at all times. The activities were ideal for both the Beavers and the Cubs, who were all fully engaged at all times. He dealt with our large numbers brilliantly. The event was run with safety in mind and all rules were clearly explained and firmly reinforced. The resources were high quality and age appropriate. Nick demonstrated all the activities impressively and was encouraging and supportive when the children had a turn. It was very high energy and fast paced. We highly recommend Shooting Stars and our instructor..
