Niha Redknap – Toni and her team provided a fantastic service for my son’s first birthday. She was always extremely professional and quick to respond over email. They were also very prompt on the day to set up and pick up which was great as it was one less thing to worry about when you have a million other things to do for a party. The equipment itself was in really good condition and all the children loved it – in fact my son was still playing on it when Toni came to pick it up! I had many people commenting how great the set up was and asking who had provided it. I would definitely recommend Toni and her team and would use her again.
