Phil and hannah
Phil has been a children’s entertainer, making dreams come true at children’s parties since 2014. His background is as a professional actor and he has taught and performed in hundreds of primary schools over the years. Phil completed a degree in Musical Theatre followed by two years studying at Drama Studio London. Children just love Phil, and keeping the children excited but under control is his speciality.
Phil and Hannah are a husband and wife team, and you will speak with Hannah during the booking and preparation process. Hannah has worked with children and families since 2008 and loves speaking with parents as they plan parties. Phil and Hannah started Phil’s Children’s Parties when they moved to Cheltenham in 2018, evolving to become Cotswold Children’s Parties in 2023.
Having children themselves, Phil and Hannah know how important celebrating a child’s birthday is, and how planning a party can be filled with excitement and sometimes a lot of work for parents! They have a mission for every birthday child to have the most magical and unforgettable birthday of their life, and even more, for every parent to have a stress-free, wonderful experience.
maddy
Maddy had spent years finding herself providing the entertainment for children at friends birthday parties, until she decided that she – and they – loved it so much that she wanted to invest more time into parties, joining Cotswold Children’s Parties in June 2023. Maddy is full of skills and creativity, she has a passion for hula hooping, writing children’s stories, puppets and now also, for making absolutely massive bubbles! Maddy has been helping to lead a local community baby bounce and rhyme session for some time – which became so popular they had to introduce a waiting list! Maddy is full of childlike joy and wonder and manages to engage the children (and adults!) in all her activities, and has settled into Cotswold Children’s Parties with rave reviews from our customers!
Roxy
Roxy has recently moved to Cheltenham from USA! She loves working with kids and has many years of experience volunteering at a preschool, working at family-friendly events and babysitting.
Roxy has fallen in love with performing magic and all things UV since heading up our Leisure at Cheltenham UV parties! She joined Cotswold Children’s Parties in Summer 2024 and has been an instant hit with children and parents alike!
