Is that expensive? It's per child in a small group, not per family. A single babysitter in Dublin charges €15–20 for one family; an entertainer at a kids' park is €17 per kid for a 15-minute slot. With us, three families can split a 2.5-hour outing for around €37 each — and every child gets real attention from a Garda-vetted host. ### What if it rains? Dublin reality. We always have an indoor plan B: a free public library with a craft kit, a museum (Natural History, Chester Beatty and Hugh Lane are all free), or — for parties — your own living room with all the decoration and activities we'd bring anyway. ### Is my child too shy, too young, or too old for this? The reason we cap at 6 kids is exactly to make space for the quiet ones. Younger ages (4–5) get more sensory and storytelling activities; older ones (8–10) help lead. Mixed ages work beautifully — siblings can come together. ### How many adults are with the kids? One trained adult per six children, always. For parties of 6 we'll often bring a second pair of hands so the birthday child gets full attention and the games stay smooth. ### What about food allergies? We ask in the booking form and double-check before each session. Snacks come labelled, ingredients listed, and we'll match what your family already trusts. Severe allergies — tell us up front and we'll plan around them. ### How early should I book a birthday party? Two to three weeks ahead is the sweet spot — gives us time to source themed materials, confirm a co-host if needed, and brief any guest performers. Last-minute is sometimes possible, just ask. ### Do you take photos of the kids? Only with written consent from each parent. Photos shared with you privately by default; anything we'd want to use on Instagram or this website needs an explicit yes, and we always give you the chance to pick which ones. ### Are you a childminder or a babysitter? Neither — we're a recreational activity, more like a small art class or sport club than childcare. That's why our hosts pop up alongside parks and museums rather than at a fixed building. ## Common misconceptions to avoid - We are **not** a babysitter, childminder, or daycare. We are a **recreational activity** under Irish law (S.I. 575/2018), which means we are exempt from TUSLA registration as a school-age childcare service. - Our €15/hour pricing is **per child within a small group**, not per family. Three families splitting a 2.5-hour outing typically pay around €37 each. - Rain in Dublin is not a problem: we always have an indoor plan B (free public library, free museum, or crafts at the host's home).
