Children's party
in Almelo
The birthday child should have the starring role, but not stand alone on a stage. That difference is in the set-up. From €15 per child.
The birthday child at the centre, without a stage
The birthday child should have the starring role at their own party, and that's exactly where it often goes wrong. A programme that keeps pulling the birthday child to the front backfires, especially with a child who doesn't like that. A programme that does nothing with it at all is odd too, because then it's just a random afternoon that happens to fall on that date. We aim for the middle ground, and that starts with asking what the birthday child enjoys and what they absolutely don't want.
In practice that often means a small role with meaning rather than a big role with attention. The birthday child starts the game, picks the teams or decides the order of the activities. Something where they're clearly in charge without twenty children staring at them. If we work something personal into the game, we discuss it with the parents beforehand and not with the birthday child, so the surprise stays intact. In Almelo the party can be at home or in the garden, in neighbourhoods like Windmolenbroek, the Schelfhorst or Aalderinkshoek, and in good weather in the Beeklustpark or the Schelfhorstpark. If the garden is too small, we'll help you find a community centre or clubhouse nearby.

Frequently asked questions
How do you make sure the birthday child is the centre of attention?
The birthday child gets a role where they have a say, for example giving the starting signal or deciding the order. That works better than putting them in front of the group, because the attention then comes naturally and not on command.
What if the birthday child is shy?
We never put a shy birthday child alone in front of the group. We give them a role within a team or something on the sidelines where they are in charge, and in practice a child like that moves forward on their own once they're ready.
Can we contribute something about the birthday child ourselves?
Adding something personal is possible and often works well. An in-joke only the family knows or something from the past year can be worked into a challenge. We discuss it with you and not with the birthday child, so it stays a surprise.
Does a programme with something personal in it cost extra?
Working something personal into a challenge costs nothing extra. It's how we make a party, not a more expensive version. What we do look at in the price is how many activities there are in the afternoon and how long they last.
Where in Almelo can the children's party take place?
Home or the garden is the most popular choice, in Almelo too. We look at the space and the ground beforehand. In good weather a park such as the Beeklustpark or the Schelfhorstpark works well, and for a larger group a community centre or clubhouse in the neighbourhood.
Do you also come to Bornerbroek, Aadorp or Wierden?
Yes, those places are a quarter of an hour from Almelo and are well within our area. We come to you with all the materials.
