Testimonials from schools:
“As a school, we have worked with Funtastic Kids since 2017.
We were one of their first customers and have since developed an extremely close bond with the company. We love having the Playworkers and Supervisors work with our children. The company is professional and has extremely high standards of care. We have supported them through an Ofsted inspection with no issues at all. The activities provided suit all children and all levels. There is so much choice across the day. We also love seeing the outside visitors that Louise engages from the reptile company to the ice-cream van this summer.
The company ensures that all children are kept safe and following all safeguarding guidelines. They work with the school to ensure all bookings, including HAF bookings, are in place well before the holiday dates. Parents have lots of notice of times and events. The school bursar and Funtastic Kids work well together, ensuring clear communication. The club is able to be flexible and works around school projects.
We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Funtastic Kids.”
Springfield Primary School
“Funtastic Kids are great to work with because they put the children at the heart of their offer. All staff are well trained and the central processes are efficient and thoroughly adhered to. Children make meaningful connections through the range of activities on offer and the inclusive nature of the provision. As both a foster carer and primary headteacher I have seen and used Funtastic Kids to support both the children and pupils in my care. In both respects, I have seen the positive impact of play on children’s development and I would recommend them to families and schools who are looking for a professional and warm service.”
