Booked for Birthday party for kids

We booked Dave for my daughter’s 3rd birthday party and he was really fantastic. He made some amazing balloon creations including a fantastic octopus and dinosaur plus a beautiful balloon bouquet of flowers. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others or book him again.

We were very happy with Sarah from Jumpstart. She arrived in good time, was very friendly, and did some beautiful face painting for the children. They were delighted! Sarah also made sure she got round everyone who wanted their face painted so no one was left disappointed. My little girl loved her rainbow flowery face! Many thanks.x
