Confidence building programs in Bristol

“We had a Glow in the dark dodge ball party for my little boy's 7th birthday and it was absolutely brilliant! I had lots of great feedback from other parents and all of the children through it was brilliant. They all went home very sweaty after having lots of fun running around for an hour. I would highly recommend these guys to anyone who was looking for a fun, active and stress free party for a little one.”

“Well what an absolute joy! We had a birthday party for my 5 year old boy yesterday and Sam hosted what Jake keeps saying was ‘the best day ever. My birthday was the best’. Start to finish he had all of the children and us adults laughing and relaxed. Sam is hilarious and super natural with the kids. He built rapport immediately and like all of the best teachers still held the attention and respect of the children when they descended in to boy humour delirium mid safety talk. The day was very well planned we did den building day. The marshmallows around the fire were a hit and the kids were all given the confidence to participate and shout answers to questions without fear of being wrong…then when they were wrong Sam’s brilliant sense of humour meant we could all safely giggle along with the children without upsetting anyone. I’m sure we will be back again for many more birthdays from Jake’s friends who came and loved it. And we will definitely be back again for our own days in future too. Thank you for giving my boy the best day ever.”

“What an amazing group! The are like a family and their production of Blood Brothers (December 2022) was the best youth theatre production I have ever seen!

If you want to build confidence, learn a plethora of new skills, make friends and develop your talents with a professional who has been in the industry for many years then this is the place for you!!!”

“I want to thank the Build a Bear staff for a lovely experience. I'm autistic, and Bluey is one of my special interests. When BaB announced a Bluey line, I was really excited, but a bit worried about going in to the shop- I'm a bit too old to like Bluey really, and was worried I might get some funny looks. I ordered my Muffin plushie as a click and collect as a bit of an experiment to see if I thought I could handle going in to the shop to make a bear. I was in and out in 5 minutes flat, staff were quick to ask if I needed anything, speedy, and very helpful. I went home very happy, and with a lovely Muffin plushie. I went back a few weeks later to make my Bluey and Bingo bears. I was quite worried, so decided to go a bit later in the day in the hopes that the store would be a bit quieter (I went on a weeknight, at about 7pm, and there were only one or two other people in the shop). I wore my sunflower lanyard, so a member of staff came over and quietly asked if they could help me with anything. They explained the whole process to me, and pointed out all the different stations so I could go at my own pace in the right order. I assume staff have to ask quite a few questions about add-ons and extras, but I really appreciated that nobody pushed me when I said no, I'd just like the bears. Staff were very patient with me, making sure I was 100% happy with each bear before I moved on, and asking questions about which parts of the experience I'd like to do and any bits I'd like to skip. The whole process was very smooth and easy. I now have three lovely Bluey plushies that will be treasured for a long time to come. Thank you very much to all the staff; my experience was so much less stressful than I was expecting, and you have made a big Bluey fan very happy indeed ❤️”

“A gem. Always astounded by the quality performances here. One to keep an eye on. Brilliant community theatre - what a privilege to have this on our doorsteps”

“If I could give you six stars, I would! In the sixteen months I've been training here I've experienced continual and lasting improvement in my physical fitness and overall wellbeing - I've lost weight, gained confidence, made friends and I've never felt better! For years I longed to learn a martial art; partly for the self-defence aspect, partly for the more meditative benefits, but mainly because I thought it seemed like really good fun. But for a long time I was too nervous to join a class because I thought I wasn't fit enough. When I found out that Kung Fu Fit offer your first class for free I took the plunge and I've been hooked ever since. Give it a try - you won't regret it!”

“I cannot recommend Little Foxes strongly enough. Our child has loved their two years there and has grown hugely in confidence. They have loved it in all weathers, and to be honest the HQ where they spend breakfast and tea club alone is better than other nurseries we've spent time in. Little Foxes are so creative in how they use the woods and give the kids really healthy levels of responsibility from a young age. Thank you Little Foxes!”
