Testimonials From Group Leaders

We can help make your visit a huge success but don't just take our word for it...

Over one week, we took 12 tutor groups of Year 7 down to Gulliver's, with 3 groups each night. From booking until the end of the residential, the staff at Gulliver's were incredible. Support in organising prior to our arrival, and on hand support throughout the week- special thanks to Adam!   The accommodation was of a great standard and the students loved the chance to build their independence in the dino caravans and princess castle- for some the first time away from parents! Students were able to participate in shelter building, fire making and wall climbing/laser tag which enabled them to develop skills such as resilience, team building and using their own initiative! To top it off the students thoroughly enjoyed the use of the park and rides in the final activity of the residential. An evening meal, breakfast and lunch were provided and Gullivers made adaptions according to dietary and allergy requirements. A highly enjoyable experience for students and staff, would highly recommend! 

We had an amazing day at Gulliver’s World. Our takeover proved to be hugely successful and we welcomed more than 1,600 members of the autistic community to the theme park. Our guests all stated how much fun they had and how wonderful it was to be able to make memories in a relaxed, quiet and non-judgemental environment.

The team members at Gulliver’s were all extremely welcoming and made everyone who came along feel comfortable and confident in their surroundings. We’ll certainly be returning in the future!

Hi, just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you from everyone for the trip. They had such an awesome time - "once in a lifetime" "like going into a different world" - it didn't matter that it was cold the kids just ran everywhere, danced and played. They enjyed the food and the show was amazing they said. Can't exaggerate what this has meant to families - during this hard winter - thanks SO MUCH from all of us!

I would just like to pass on my thanks, It was brilliant, really enjoyed it, as did our little one. Nothing too much trouble for the staff, obviously a tremendous amount of effort gone into making it a magical experience for children & adults alike. Felt very lucky to have something like this on offer to us.

Can’t believe a week has flown by since we were with you for our Y6 prom!

On behalf of FOBBINS (PTA) and the school I would like to extend a massive thanks for your help.

The kids had a great time, the venue and food looked fab and, most of all, the team were super welcoming and really helpful.

 

The whole experience was well organised and managed, Adam and the team at Gulliver’s truly enhanced the organisation from the beaver’s side. Adam was always available to answer queries. 

Beth and the other team members were excellent with the children.

I would highly recommend any uniformed group to use your facilities for a magical sleepover weekend. I have already recommended Gulliver's Valley to a beaver colony in Retford.

I thought I'd message this morning and say an absolutely enormous thank you from all of us a Girlguiding Stockport.

We all had an absolutely brilliant weekend, memories made, fears conquered with snakes and tarantula's ( not by me!) , fun in the sun, screaming on rides and lots of girls sleeping over for the first time and almost no moans. This is an incredible achievement for a guiding event let me tell you.

The weekend ran so smoothly and this was in no small part due to Matt. He was attentive, efficient, friendly and so organised. I can't praise him highly enough and I think you are very lucky to have him.

Lottie was also very lovely, couldn't do enough to help, girls loved the disco and entertainment and she even persuaded one of her team to stay late to run an activity after I got the timing wrong.

Thanks again Adam, we all truly did have a fantastic weekend.

I just wanted to send an email to say a huge thank you to you and your staff for making our trip so memorable and enjoyable. The children (and staff) have absolutely loved it. 

You and your staff couldn't do enough for us. The feedback given was only some suggestions to make it an 11/10 rather than a 10/10. 

Please pass on our thanks to your staff as well as I know this must be a huge team effort every day. 

We will see you again next year and some of the Year 1 children are already excited for next year. 

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the amazing visit last week – children and staff had a fantastic time and feedback from parents has been REALLY positive!!!!

Just wanted to say a massive thanks to you and your team once again - we truly have had the most amazing time and the children absolutely loved it. As I said earlier, it really has been the best residential experience I've had by a mile! Hope to see you in the future!

Please can we once again express what an amazing weekend we had at Gulliver's. We can't thank you enough for your organisation and making sure it was such a successful visit.

The Brownies and Leaders all felt really welcome and everyone went home very tired but very happy, the activity gang were all so lovely and patient and all the ride operators were awesome. 

We had an amazing time, and the kids really did have the time of their lives. 

Thank you so much to Emma and Courtney for looking after us so well, particularly Emma on Saturday. The staff were all so helpful across all areas of the park. 

The activities were all really well organised, the food was good, and the kids slept! What's not to love!   

The catering staff were great in sorting food separately for the child with dietary needs. It was clear that one member of staff was sorting his food with good hygiene practices in place.  

We had an amazing time, and all of us leaders have raved about how fantastic it was. We would totally recommend the sleepover to other groups (and will). The kids have all said what a great time they had too, and we could really see how much they enjoyed it. I suspect we'll be asked very soon when we can go again!

Thank you so much for all your help organising everything, and to Emma, both for her help in advance, and on Saturday. She really was an amazing host and a credit to the park. 

I'm sure I'll be back in touch next year to try to organise another visit! 

I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say what a fabulous time our children and staff had during our recent stay.  Every moment was packed with activities and fun, exceptionally presented by Jason, Liam, and Josh.

We returned to school talking with so much enthusiasm and excitement and will certainly be looking to book for the next year in the very near future.

I just wanted to thank you and your team, wholeheartedly for the most incredible two days for our Voices of the Vale Young Performers.  

They have literally loved every second! Thank you so much. We have all had the time of our lives.

Thank you for an amazing Sleepover, the Beavers and Cubs had the most fabulous time and made some fantastic memories. I’m imagining a whole load of bragging has happened at school this morning!

I just wanted to reach out to say what a fantastic time we had during our residential visit this week. The children have made lifelong memories, and the trip offers such fantastic value for money.
