I can thoroughly recommend this company - worth every penny. Nikki came to deliver a series of workshops on our 'moving up' day and it was such a great way to integrate new pupils whilst learning new skills. She explained the physics behind the tricks and was entirely positive and encouraging. it was a long and physical day for her and she seemed just as fresh and enthusiastic at 3:30 as she was at 9am! Her classroom management was spot on.
"The circus was really fun because the lady was nice and the tricks were awesome! She helps a lot."
"The circus was really good and the plate spinning was really fun and that was the best day of the week she was a great helper/coach."
"It was fun."
"Best afternoon ever!"
"It was the best thing we've done in a long time and I'm so grateful we got this experience"
The words from the children say it all, Nikki was great to communicate with and we have had nothing but rave reviews of the workshops from the children!
I was responsible for organising a team building corporate workshop for our company. Nikki was extremely efficient in her replying and organisation, and the day was an absolute success. The workshop was fantastic; entertaining, challenging and engaging. Thoroughly enjoyed by all 15 of us! Thank you very much Nikki!
Brilliant! Nikki was full of energy all day. She customised the day to suit our students. She performed a short show to engage at the beginning, and ran workshops through the day. She modelled and gave clear instructions with meaning. Nikki pitched the skills appropriately for the SEN students. Children were deeply focussed in using their skills . They had lots of fun learning balance, co-ordination, reflex and rhythm skills. Will book again!
We used The Workshop Company for our daugter's 6th birthday party and they were truly amazing! Nikki took control of 20 lively children and had them all captivated, bringing even the shy children out of their shells, it was so lovely to watch them and the smiles on their faces. I have had several commenrs from other mums about how much their children enjoyed the party and what an original idea it is. Thank you Nikki, we will definitely be booking you again.
We booked the Workshop Company for a day and half at our school in Worcestershire. The whole process from booking to the running of the day was so easy and efficient. Nikki was a superb tutor and her organisation, discipline and overall teaching skills were fabulous. The children had a great time and most importantly all children were able to be successful at something. We would definitely recommend and will book Nikki and her team again.
Amazing workshop for my Year 3 and Year 6 classes as a special treat linked to our class books. Nikki was organised, knowledgeable, fun yet firm which enabled the children to have a fabulous two hours, learning new skills and tricks. All the children were able to achieve the challenges set using a range of circus equipment and were fully engaged throughout. Probably the best workshop I've been part of in my 12 years of teaching! We would definitely have Nikki back again but for the whole school.
We -as parents- organised a circus skills workshop as party of a year 6 leavers party based at our children s school. I looked at several different companies and chose The Workshop Company because Nikki impressed me on the phone when we talked about what kind of activities she would offer and how to structure it- she clearly knew how to effectively engage with children. We were not disappointed! Nikki taught different three skills to 90 kids in groups of 30, in half hour blocks. They all enjoyed the activities and Nikki s enthusiasm, kid control and energy was impressive. The teachers who watched Nikki work with the kids were impressed too! Thank you. We would recommend The Workshop Company to other schools.
An absolutely fabulous experience for all of our boys. Nikki was a brilliant teacher! Kate
We have now used The Workshop Company for 3 years to run workshops on our annual Enrichment Day. Our Year 9 students really enjoyed learning new skills.
Excellent workshops! Our Year 3 children thoroughly enjoyed learning challenging and fun new skills, with an excellent circus tutor. All the children had an amazing experience and were really sad when our series of sessions ended. Really looking forward to using the company again next year. Thank you!
The Workshop Company have provided a Circus Skills workshop to the annual Cuddington and Sandiway village fair for about 6 years now, and it is always a really popular attraction at the fair. The workshop is always setup well before the gala starts, is well laid-out and run, everyone who takes part leaves with a smile, and there haven't been any injuries in all of the years we have had them at the Gala, so a win all around :-)
Nikki and The Workshop Company made our team feel at ease and all of us had so much fun. The workshop truly was bringing the team together while improving their interpersonal skills. What I loved the most was how much fun everyone was having while practicing circus skills. Who knew we could all juggle and balance the tightrope so well!
I would definitely recommend the workshop if you are looking to bring the team together and add a fun element to the busy working day!
We had a wonderful session at school with Nikki. In 3 hours she had all of our children (aged 9-13) managing to balance feathers, juggle scarves, use flower sticks and even throw diablo. She presented the tasks really clearly, broke them down into clear skills and managed the children professionally. We all really enjoyed it! Thanks
Our Year 5 pupils thoroughly enjoyed their visit from the Workshop Company. It helped them greatly with their inspiration for their English writing later in the week. The activities were challenging but accessible so everyone felt like that they had achieved something. Thanks again for a great day.
We've booked The Workshop Company for two years running for our Summer School and have booked again for this coming summer...we love them! The staff are really easy to contact and the process of booking them is really simple.
The children absolutely love learning new skills and the tutors break it down into small steps so everyone can achieve. The children (and adults) had such fun during this workshop as well as building their self-esteem and resilience. Would highly recommend! We look forward to seeing you in August! (Mandeville Primary School, St Albans)
An excellent day teaching circus skills to our Year 7 pupils who loved every minute. Extremely well organised and run.
Nikki led a brilliant workshop with a fantastic pace. Students were engaged start to finish and the whole day was filled with skills and tricks that were really well explained. Some students even left wanting o buy their own circus gear to learn at home. Students were encouraged to work together and this was brilliant for team building too.
Thanks a lot, Nikki!
Nikki and The Workshop Company attended our Charity Team Day and it was a truly incredible experience! Nikki was engaging and extremely skilled at what she did and the feedback we have received from everyone who took part has been amazing!
I would highly recommend choosing The Workshop Company for your next event with both children and adults alike!
Thank you The Workshop Company!
Our school absolutely loved the circus skills workshop by Nikki. She was very engaging and all children were active at all times. The workshops were differentiated and made appropriate for each of our year groups - Year R, Year 1 and Year 2. The children enjoyed learning tricks and especially loved challenging themselves to learn juggling and tight rope walking! Thank you, look forward to having you back next year!
