Toddler Party - Suggestions Pls

I would like to book a tailor made toddler party for my 3 year old in September.
I want to spend £10 approx per head and I dont want to go to McD's.
Any suggestions of where will be good, I am based in Essex.
Thanks
Sarah
PS I dont have the skill or aptitude to do one myself.

    I would first check what packages you local Leisure Centre/Comunity centre do. If their not any good I would check the phone directory for other places that have soft indoor play facilities for toddlers.

    Leisure centres can be a good option - they usually offer something like 45 minutes soft play and a room for food afterwards.

    Our local brewers fayre pub does a kids party package for about £6.95 a head, again use of the soft play for a bit, then food and a visit from brewster bear.

    Another one we have done is to hire the local comunity centre / vilage hall etc and book a childrens entertainer
  • if you would be up for doing it at home without the hassle, i know a girl on another forum who sells partys in a box. You get all the stuff for your themed party and gift bags etc for the kids. All you would need to do is buy some food and shove it in the oven and then on the table :)

    Near me we have a place called paint me glaze me where people go for kids parties and they paint their own plate or whatever u pick and get it glazed to bring home with them :) the food etc is provided at the place too
