A professional and well run camp. Jennifer is great with the kids, as are the other leaders, who my son describes as ‘kind’. The activities are creative and lots of ‘fun’ according to my 7 year old so... See more

Confidence building

My son has been doing debutots with Geri for just over a year, and it has helped him come out of his shell. He used to be quite quiet and avoid talking in public, but now he's so chatty and happy! Really pleased with the work they do, all disguised as fun play time.

Excellent party entertainer!

My kids have been going to Liz’s Debutots classes at nursery for years and they absolutely love her, so much so that my son asked to have her as the entertainer for his 5th birthday party. Liz turned up as Dino Daisy complete in uniform with props and a huge amount of enthusiasm to take the kids off on an exciting dinosaur adventure. My son thought it was the best party ever, and I had so many amazing comments from parents on how great Liz was. I would highly recommend her and her Debutots classes to keep your children’s imaginations alive!

5 Stars for Debutots Worcestershire, (but wish I could give it more!)

What a privilege it was to watch Kirsten in action today at her intergenerational story and drama session at Perry Manor Nursing Home. The session was attended by about ten children, ranging in age from ten months to four years. These children had the most wonderful fun as Kirsten told them stories and they sang, danced and chased bubbles. The residents also had a great time, interacting with the children and watching them play and enjoying the music. I feel very lucky that I had the opportunity to witness the connection between these generations and to be part of the energy and happiness in the room. Kirsten Reeves, you should be very, very proud of what you do; Debutots, you should be very, very proud of your Worcestershire branch.

Fun filled activities!

My children love debutots and are always so enthusiastic about the activities they do with Jennifer and the team. They’re certainly the best camps in north London!

North Baddesley Summer Camp

My son has just finished Gillian's Debutots summer camp and had an amazing time every day. It is a great mix of stories, creative crafts and time to play and in a really caring, nurturing environment. Gillian is fantastic with the children and makes every day fun and varied for them. My son described it as "great and fun" and loved the opportunity to "play a variety of games and make new friends"! Thank you Gillian!

A fantastic experience for my 4 year old son. He's made new friends, grown in confidence and had great fun. Can't recommend Jennifer and her lovely team of helpers highly enough.

Active Fun

Fun, active story telling/drama sessions that our children (and staff!) really enjoy. Children's engagement has increased week upon week and children often remember the sessions and talk about them at home.

Brilliant toddler birthday party

Laura from Debutots made sure our son had a perfect 3rd birthday party. She took a lot of trouble to make sure the fun matched the theme of the day, and her fun engaging style kept the kids hooked for an hour - no mean feat with a room full of fussy toddlers!

Debutots party
We arranged for debutots to provide an interactive story telling experience as entertainment for our sons 3rd birthday party. We could not have been happier with the quality of the service and all the children (and adults) really enjoyed being dinosaur explorers and ttavelling back in time.

Nursery sessions

We have used Debutots several times to provide interactive story-telling sessions for special events within our nursery. Gillian has led sessions of nearly 40 children and expertly kept the whole group's attention as she took them through different stories using props and the children's imagination. Gillian is so easy to deal with and we will definitely use her again.

Great, engaging holiday camps in Southampton area

My daughter has done both the Easter and summer camps at Debutots in the Southampton area and had a blast! She looks forward to going and loves the variety of activities and fun themes. Thank you Gillian - we will be back!

excellent summer club for 4+

My 4year old daughter is normally very shy and nervous of new settings. But the excellent staff here were so relaxed that I needn't have worried. By lunchtime on her first day i wanted to see how she was getting on and messaged their group to which I had a quick reply and was sent pictures which really put me at ease. At the end of the day the true reflection of how good it is was when I asked my daughter if she wanted to come back tomorrow (as she is a very blunt and honest girl) to which she replied yes please. Excellent summer club to which im sure we will be using again throughout the years to come.

Simply the best!

Wow. What can I say.
One of my children, a 7yr old boy has just completed 4 days of Debutots Summer Camp, with the truly amazing Gillian from the Southampton area.
My son has a life threatening medical condition but is always keen to take part in a holiday group. However, 99.9% of the activity groups are physical activity based which we just cannot allow him to do for risk of injury (and he truly doesn’t enjoy.)
Gillian went above and beyond to be prepared for his joining the days, and my goodness he has had a blast. He has enjoyed every single minute of the 4 day programme, already wanting a countdown for next Summer!
It has been very emotional for us to see incredible pictures of him working in a group, making new friends and generally being “normal,” without his twin or older sister being there either. Gillian has given the children countless opportunities to shine this week, and I cannot thank her enough for allowing our son to have his moment at a holiday club.
Thank you Debutots Southampton for being quite simply, amazeballs!

a fantastic group for babies (and Mums)!

Matthew has thoroughly enjoyed the last 6 months at Debutots. His face lights up when the music starts and also when I sing the songs to him at home... In addition I have made new friends and found your group a great source of friendly Mum’s / carers to chat to... and that’s before I get to the luxury that is a HOT CUP OF TEA!!!!
Thanks Jennifer... this group is highly recommended!

Weekly highlight

My daughters aged 1 year and 3 years absolutely loved this class abd would re-tell and re-enact the stories learned in between classes. I also had a great time and enjoyed the relaxed story-telling environment. Couldn’t recommend more highly for those with little ones to entertain and enlighten.

My daughter absolutely loved Debutots with Laura and Keeley. Her confidence really grew and she really looked forward to going along. I also enjoyed it too. There was a nice group there and I loved watching my daughter's reaction to the session.
