FAQ

Do you have an online calendar I can check availability with?

We need to know exactly what you’re after before we can check if who we have available is suitable for your party/location! Fill in our enquiry form which gives us the necessary info we need 😍

What sort of thing do you do?

We specialise in traditional children’s parties! Party games old and new, magic, mini disco and ballooning! Plus we have princesses and (female) superheroes for character visits and shorter parties! Plus not forgetting family magic shows with Magic Paul and disco parties with favourite of adults and children alike – DJ Dan !

Our most popular packages are the silver and gold 2 hours options and are suitable for mixed groups of girls and boys – fast paced, interactive entertainment that keeps them engaged from start to finish!

Do you come out to me?

Yes – we will travel to your venue be it your house or hired hall etc.

What if I only want someone to do balloons or facepainting?

Sometimes our entertainers can provide last minute ballooning and glitter tattoos but usually we recommend fantastic face painters & glitter artistes Artifaces – 07931 440058 and Dom That Balloon Man for balloon modelling (and decor!) – 07740 382768‬

Do I need to provide prizes?

All prizes for games and a pass the parcel type are provided by us. We also bring music and a speaker (amongst other stuff). You need to provide the venue, cake, food, decorations and party bags and don’t forget the candles and lighter!!

Do you do party bags?

Not anymore! We have decided to focus our time and energy on bringing the best entertainment. You can check out The Little Treasure Box co for high quality supplies from one of JingJangJooJong’s previous clients!

How can I pay?

We accept payment of the deposit by bank transfer and the balance is payable in cash on the day to the entertainer. (We do not accept cheques.) Sometimes the entertainer prefers to receive a bank transfer on the day direct from yourself but that is a private arrangement between yourselves.

What age groups do you cover?

We do all age groups although most of our parties are age 3-8. With 14 years running children’s parties we have amassed a LOT of expertise at adapting our entertainment to suit your specific group of guests!

We also often do parties for 1 year olds – eg first birthdays and Christenings. However, the entertainment is usually aimed at the over 3s. We understand there will be a wide age range at events such as these, so we have plenty of experience in providing a flexible set that suits your guests and schedule.

Some of the team are also AMAZING at all age parties (eg family gatherings when it’s also for grown ups.) and you can book a family DJ with us – we cover West Yorkshire and beyond!

Is the price less if we have less children?

The price is the same for any number of children. So if you have a party with 9 children, it is the same price as 39 children. This is because travel/ set up/ bulk of the entertainment is the same for ANY size group. If you want to have approx 40 or more children – go ahead and invite them – we love big parties! It may cost about £10-20 more in total depending on quite how many children will be there.

We don’t need exact numbers – just a ball park figure 😄

Do you have insurance and are you police checked? What about PAT testing?

Each entertainer carries their own public liability insurance and most carry enhanced DBSs. All the equipment used is PAT tested where relevant.

Our DBS checks are incidental (it just so happens that we all work with other institutions requiring DBS checks such as children’s church, Brownies, Scouts and school PTA.). The CRB (Criminal Records Bureau no longer exists, it’s replacement is the DBS (Disclosure and Baring Service). The DBS service only allows checks for ‘regulated activity’ for example when you see the same group of children more than once/ are in an unsupervised capacity. All our events are supervised by parents or teachers. We do not provide creche facilities and are never responsible for the children.

What makes you different from other entertainers, magicians or clowns?

The JJJJ have built their party packages from years and years experience working with children in community and party settings – we know what kids enjoy, how to get everyone involved and we actually enjoy what we do 😂

JJJJ has been established over 15 years and we are stronger and more creative than ever! Most of our bookings are from returning clients and those who have seen us already – this speaks very highly of our service and professionalism. Have you checked out our reviews?!

We deliver a high quality service brought to you by genuinely friendly, funny, energetic, professional, caring and creative entertainers – great personalities! Our entertainment ticks the box for the birthday child, their guests, the client and the parents of all the children!  We have an extremely high level of engagement from all types of children (shy/ boisterous and everything in between!) from start to finish! It needs to be seen to be believed!

Do you offer themed parties?

Get in touch with us with the specific theme you are after as we offer a number at no extra cost, and can quote for delivering brand new themes. Our different entertainers offer different themes and can come as different characters, so be specific if you’re looking for a particular character/theme and we will check availability and give you details 🥳  

We are a charity – will you donate your time for our event?

We would love to, however, this is our job and how we earn money! It pays our rent, feeds our children, keeps them in shoes (the list goes on!).

We value our skilled entertainers highly and believe we will add sparkle and magic to your event that is worth every penny 😄 Did you know, local businesses love to support community events! If you have a local solicitors, accountants, factory – just ask them if they would consider sponsoring part of your event. 🤩

Why are you called JingJangJooJong?

The short story is that during pregnancy, strange things happened to founder Joy’s mind and she had to make up words that her brain lost. Joojong was one of them! (It means ‘thingy-me-jig’!)

Why do you charge what you do?

When I (Joy – business owner) go to a nice coffee shop I gawp sometimes at the prices when I think I can make it so much cheaper at home! But when I really think about all the unseen costs and overheads and the need for profit as part of the business model (not to mention I want to sit in a NICE coffee shop, not a greasy spoon) I think it’s fair enough.

Honestly, there are SO many unseen costs with what we do as entertainers, from paying admin staff to fuel and equipment, insurance, time spent preparing and learning, not spending quality time with our own families at the weekends. The list is actually really long so we won’t go into it all here!

But we will mention that we pay our team much more than the typical franchise as we want the best, most motivated entertainers who will give it 100%, can be relied upon and whom you will want back year upon year!

‘Quality is remembered long after price!’

Anyone can start a business these days, but check out reviews and our 14+yr track record (not to mention collect experience between all the entertainers)!
