Children at a party on a weekday afternoon
Midweek after school

A party between school and dinner

A children's party in Amsterdam often falls on a Wednesday afternoon or a teacher training day, and then time is tight. The children come straight from school, some are dropped off later, and by half past five the first parents are already at the door. A programme designed for a Saturday doesn't fit well. We make the party more compact and fix the end point in advance, so the results don't get lost in the pick-up.

We ask what time school finishes, how the children get to the party and when they'll be picked up. That tells us how much playing time there really is. After school, children are hungry first, so at an afternoon party we put drinks and a small snack at the start. On a training day there's more room and the birthday party can also be in the morning. The host keeps an eye on the clock, so you don't have to hurry anyone along.

Frequently asked questions

Who collects the children from school?

You arrange drop-off and pick-up yourselves or together with the other parents. We're there before the first children arrive and ready to go, so no playing time is lost to setting up.

Isn't an hour and a half too short?

For an afternoon after school, an hour and a half is often just right. The children have already had a school day and tire faster than on a Saturday. So we choose fewer activities rather than rushing through them.

Can the party be in the morning on a training day?

A morning works well, because the children are still fresh. Do check that all the friends are off, though, because training days differ from school to school.

What does a party on a weekday cost?

A children's party starts at €15 per child, on weekdays and at weekends. What it comes to depends on the number of children, the age and the duration. After a short conversation you'll get a fixed price.
