I just wanted to say please kindly send my thanks to Libby and Max. They were fantastic, very polite and helpful, nothing was too much trouble and my son and his friends had the absolute best time! I have had nothing but compliments about his party. We will definitely book again next year! - Laura, April 2024

I wanted to email you to say a massive “Thank You”. It was by far the best party ever - in Selina’s words. I would like to pass on my thanks to those who ran the activities. They ensured safety and helped all the children to have a great time. I’ll be recommending you to friends who have a children’s party coming up! Many thanks. Sarah - May 2024

I just wanted to thank you, Toby and Jenny, for organising such a fantastic party for Morgan. The party worked so well, and the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  It was such a lovely, inclusive event, and it brought out their team spirit and competitiveness (the latter in a nice way). Toby has a great manner with the children, and I liked the way he was able to adapt the party to their level and interests as it progressed. I shall definitely think of holding Miles’ and (when she’s older) Isabella’s parties here. - Nov 2015

I am absolutely delighted with how this event was handled from start to finish. The children had a wonderful time, and the helpfulness and professionalism of your staff made it stress-free for the parents and myself as well. Thank you so much. I would have no hesitation in recommending you and/or using you in the future. - April 2013

"We just wanted to say a huge thank you for such a fab party for our boys on Saturday, they all thoroughly enjoyed it and were raving about the facilities and wanting to return. Despite the weather, it was a big success! - Mrs R, January 2013

Dear Karl (and Ray), I just wanted to say a very big (and belated) thank you for the fantastic party you led for Joe's birthday on 29th September. All the children had a brilliant time, and Joe had a blast.  You made the whole event great fun and you dealt with all the different personalities so professionally and sensitively, and it was greatly appreciated.I think Joe would like me to book him into Three Peaks for the whole Summer holidays! I will most certainly be recommending your parties to everyone I know! Many thanks.  - Hannah R September 2013

Camp Testimonial

This year was our 1st year with Barfield and summer camp. I wasn’t expecting much apart from fun and new friendships for my little girl. The first day when Lili was about to start the camp was really stressful. She was scared as she didn’t know anyone and very shy when my husband dropped her over. When she arrived, she received a warm welcome from the staff and another little girl who came to the rescue and made her feel very welcome. When I came to pick her up on that 1st day, she told me I was too early and that it would be the best summer ever... It was a huge relief that she felt like that after day 1. This summer was full of adventure and f;n, she made great friends,ds and she has overcome her fears. Lili climbed the tree to do the zip wire even when she was absolutely terrified to do it; she improved her swimming skills, took part in lots of fun activities and was very proud of herself each time she achieved something. You would say this is what summer is for ...but what strikes me the most is your amazing young team. Especially Lewis, as he went above and beyond to look after the kids. He played with Lili, told her stories, talked to and listened to her, encouraged her to do the things she wasn’t sure about and praised her for all her little achievements. Lewis made such an effort that I wanted to highlight in writing how excellent this young man is. In the last few days of camp, Lili returned after being very sick the previous week and still on antibiotics. Lewis not only made sure that she wasn’t straining herself too much, but he made an effort to come and talk to me every time I came to pick her up to make sure I had an update on her well-being. I found this absolutely outstanding. 

He presented this behaviour over the whole summer, highlighting the most important moments of the day without even being approached; it was natural for him to approach the parents. I could see he was exactly the same as the others. 

I just wanted to say once again, thank you. This summer was fantastic with Barfield Summer Camp and we definitely will be back next year with other friends as well. We will continue to recommend the camp to others as it is an excellent place for children to have a fully packed, fun time. What great value for money as well. 

You have created an amazing place. 

Best wishes,

"Your organisation and attention to detail have been very much appreciated every step of the way in planning our residential visit. We all felt very much looked after and appreciated having the chance to use the school grounds during our "free time". It was great to see the motivation and stamina that your team patiently encouraged within the children and I was especially pleased with how much effort was made to get to know each child in such a short space of time." - Twyford School, June 2012
