We hired a bouncy castle for my son birthday party last month. Very good service. Delivered and collected on time. Thank you! This was the first time we have used Bellyflops and I would highly recommend them. It was so easy to book. We had the bouncy castle for the whole day and Ken and his colleague made every effort to make my children feel special as they set everything up in the garden. A fantastic company I will definitely use again! I had absolutely no faults whatsoever. Everybody was so helpful and friendly and the frog castle was in top condition, everybody had a ball! I would highly recommend the space hoppers too. Great value! Thank you very much!”
