Meet our team

We are proud to present our wonderful Giggle leaders...

In keeping with Ruth’s vision to ensure every child is engaged individually, she employs a small group of trained and DBS checked entertainers who are hand picked, nurtured and celebrated as members of the Giggle family. Training is ongoing and always being updated to keep things fresh. The Giggle team all share a love of children and their smiles and are chosen for their energy and intuitive sensitivity. In Ruth’s own words, "I am VERY fussy about who I hire to ensure every Giggle party is delivered with consistent top quality entertainment - you have my word that you will love every single one of my team - they are all AMAZING! :D”

Ruth

The Giggle Company manager!

Ruth has been the co-pilot in the company's journey since the very beginning and bought the company off her sister Tara in 2017 to evolve the business. With a background in contemporary dance and performing arts, Ruth is passionate about the way creative arts can be used to help with mental health, and this together with her passion to see children smile has lead to her success with The Giggle Company. She is a natural with children and to this day, feels honoured every time she is asked to party!

Tara

The Giggle Company founder! During her late teens and at university, Tara taught singing at a Saturday theatre school and saw first hand how those with little self-esteem grew in confidence. An award-winning documentary filmmaker, Tara loves making films but while shooting in Africa, she found herself captivated by the infectious giggles of the children who interacted with her camera. She then realised what she really wanted to do was be with children and see them smile. The idea for the Giggle company was born!

She has toured around Europe with a performance company and worked alongside some of UK’s top choreographers. Since joining the Giggle team in 2014, Leanne remains passionate and enthusiastic, determined to make every child feel special and leave with a smile on their face. Her fluid energy and expressiveness brings a special quality to parties - we are very lucky to have her!
