Childrens Parties and Kids Discos in Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Surrounding Areas

A Magical Party

We will keep the children entertained for the whole time we're there!

City Nights has been providing Discos for children's parties for over 18 years. Whatever your child's age, the experience we've gained in this time will guarantee we'll provide the entertainment suitable for them. We are specialists in providing entertainment for children's parties.

The frequency with which parents comment how pleased they were with us following a children's disco we've just provided never ceases to amaze! The most common response is that in their previous experiences, "The DJ just stood there and played some music".
We are DIFFERENT!... we organise games, competitions and activities, fully interacting with the children, as well as (of course) playing their favourite music.
By keeping them thoroughly entertainined, we ensure that they are happy and involved... and this means you can relax and enjoy the party too!

Just a few words to say how delighted my wife and I are with your performance at our daughter's 7th birthday disco party earlier today.You were brilliant and really kept all the children (33 of them!!) thoroughly entertained throughout the whole 2 hour period with great music and lots of games and competitions. Everyone really enjoyed themselves - both the children and parents.

Thank you so much for the superb disco you gave Natasha yesterday. She had a really wonderful time. At school this morning many mothers came up to say their children thought it was the best party they had been to!

City Nights specialised Children's Dj's use their extensive experience to create a lively and energetic atmosphere for the children, from start to finish. We do this by playing the children's own personal choice of music, games and competitions. The key factor is that the Dj enjoys working with children. If the Dj is having fun....how can the children resist joining in?!?

Every disco we do is totally individual, and designed to meet your own child's requirements.

This includes......

A very high quality sound system.

Your choice of music.

A full light-show... children love light-shows, and normally, the more "full-on", the better!(from "classic flashy disco lights", to "modern overhead 3D Nightclub style lights".... or both!!)

Your very own choice of special effects, e.g. smoke, strobes, U.V. lighting, U.V. Back-drops, laser, strobes, disco-ball, flame effects, bubble-machine, etc. (all, any or none!)

A Professional Children's DJ.

......all included in your quote.

Our disco's really are 'tailor-made' to suit you...
- simply tell us what you 'do' or 'don't' want, regarding ANY aspect of your disco!

It takes a certain type of DJ to do a Chidren's party properly.

We don't just come along and play some music in the hope that the children will have a good time..... we really do get involved! We do this by showing children the moves to some of the songs, playing their choice of games and giving out 'spot-prizes' for 'best' (or worst!!) dancer or singer, best dressed, best couple, etc,... and by being completely approachable, friendly and interactive.

We'll play the children's very own choice of music too, we'll gladly accept a music play-list, and any other instructions you may wish to give us... our aim is to personalise the disco in every respect.

We have vast experience of working with children, and we can guarantee to get it right!!

The only thing we'll ask you to provide will be some prizes to give out- you can spend as little or as much as you like on prizes, but a multi bag of fun-size Mars bar type sweets is sufficient. Prizes are a sure-fire way of keeping the children's attention throughout.

A really big thank you to you for the excellent DJ you
sent to entertain at my daughters party. We all had a great time

You were absolutely brilliant, and we couldn't of asked for more! Everyone really enjoyed it, adults an all. If I hear anyone looking for a DJ, you will be highly recommended.

Hi Vern just wanted to say thank you for the disco on Sunday to help celebrate the girls 6th birthdays... so much fun was had by all, the children thoroughly enjoyed it.... brilliant job.
Thank you again.

You may also wish to consider wrapping up a 'pass-the-parcel' or two.... another guaranteed hit with the younger ones.

Large (easily visible) name-badges are also a good idea in aiding us make the party more 'personal', as we can talk to the children and present prizes or announce winners using their names, without needing to ask!

With the right music, lighting and children's games to suit any age, City Nights Discos will cater to your individual tastes to create a party to truly remember

Useful info and Typical Running Order for a Children's Disco

We can do a Disco for any age group and even for mixed ages.

We use the term 'children' to represent (about) the 5 to 9Yr old age bracket.

We can play to almost any number of children... but please bear in mind that playing Games, organising Competitions and handing out Spot-Prizes (particularly with younger children) represents a huge part of what we do for them. Inviting anywhere between 12 and 35 children makes organising games and competitions very manageable. With fewer than about 12 children, games etc may not work quite as well, whilst with more than 35, they can sometimes become a little more difficult to organise!

We recommend a one and a half hour Party for 4 to 5Yr olds.

We recommend a 2 hour Party for 6 to 9Yr olds.

With younger children, this time consists of us starting gently as not to scare anyone. We'll then start introducing a competition or two (best dancer / best or loudest singer etc.) with prizes for the winners to warm things up.

Then possibly a game or two mixed in with the music (all of our Birthday Boy or Girl's very own choice wherever possible) and plenty of songs with 'actions' or 'moves' which we'll organise or demonstrate.

Throughout the Disco, we'll be constantly handing out spot-prizes, and organising all manner of competitions and games.

We usually take a short break for 'tea' about half way through- this can be a 'proper' sit-down tea or just a break for drinks & crisps! Also for young ones- a quick reminder to use the toilet!

Straight after 'tea' is be a great time for you to bring out the Birthday Cake (if you have one). We'll organise the blowing out of the candles and the singing of Happy Birthday. (... doing the Birthday Cake at this time allows plenty of time for someone to cut the cake into portions- ready for you to offer everyone a piece as they leave!)

Then (for younger ones) a further sit-down (to let the food go down) for Pass-the-Parcel.
Older children can often feel too 'grown-up' for 'normal' Pass-theParcel- so this is often substituted with Musical Chairs- we'll simply ask the children to bring their chair onto the dance-floor when they've finished eating.

Then it's back to the Disco again, with more music, games, competitions, spot-prizes etc.

There really is no 'set-routine' as such to any children's Disco that we do, but this (or something similar) normally works well... and we'll be happy to change or re-organise things or any running orders in any way that suits you.

The truth is (as with ALL Disco's we do) we 'play-it-by-ear' and decide what to do/play next based on our experience, any feedback from you, and the reaction of the crowd to the last thing we did.

Just to say many thanks for a great job on Saturday. We all had a terrific time - Poppy was thrilled with the disco.
Thanks, again,
Lesley (Mum)

I just wanted to take the time to drop you a line to say a massive thanks for a brilliant show today. Ethan (5) is still buzzing after an amazing disco and party. We are delighted that you kept 28 kids mesmerised with fun and disco for 2 hours –how you do it I will never know. The entertainment was great for all ages – and it was good to get all the parents on the dance floor embarrassing their kids at the end ! We had a fantastic time and we will definitely be recommending you to all our friends
Many Thanks for making Ethan’s day so great,
Orla & Fergal & Ethan
