It's only a few weeks since I became a Great Auntie (again!) and we enjoyed meeting our great-niece recently. Isn't it amazing how such a small bundle of fun can have a huge impact on your life!
Anyway, more to the point, because her folks are in the entertainment industry, we started chatting about kiddies' parties; how much people would spend on them, what types of things the children wanted to do and, ok, some of the disasters as well. Then they got a bit more technical.
For instance, one of the things they said was that, in the UK, if you're booking an entertainer for a party, then you could and should ask if they have a CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check done and also if they carry public liability insurance. There are loads of other questions you should ask a children's entertainer before hiring him/her to perform at your children's party. I came across the Children's Entertainer Directory and found a very useful set of articles there which should help you avoid trouble when booking a performer - and where you can also find performers for hire.
Don't for get to ask the questions, though - your children and their friends are so precious - and it's worth taking extra trouble to make sure you get it right!
