Breakfast with Santa

Better than Santas Grotto Bournemouth

Serendipity Sam’s Proudly Present

BREAKFAST WITH SANTA & SERENDIPITY SAM

Forget the grotto, Santa has a special invitation for your children… Come and join him and local favourite Serendipity Sam for breakfast!

Saturday 18th December 2010

4 delightful seatings with Santa and Serendipity Sam

  • Breakfast with Santa & Serendipity Sam
  • A range of breakfast items included for each child (inc fruit juice, cereal, toast, fruit, squash, water)
  • Santa’s Christmas Story Time
  • Present for each child from Santa
  • Unlimited play for each child

Each session lasts 1 hour. You must arrive at your allocated start time, where you will be seated in our dining area which remain closed (to non ticket holders) during the event, Santa will arrive around 15 minutes after the start time at the table and be seated with Serendipity Sam when breakfast service will start. After breakfast; the children will be led to our festive party room where they will be seated for a short Christmas story read by Santa, and then presented with a present from Santa before leaving the festive party room to enjoy unlimited play (normally limited to 2 hours) for the rest of the day.

This is a fantastic value event, and tickets will be in high demand so we advise booking early.

Being a week before Christmas, the unlimited play element of the ticket would allow one parent to remain with the child whilst the other finishes off any last minute shopping.

Session times

  • 09.15 – 10.15
  • 10.00 – 11.00
  • 10.45 – 11.45
  • 11.30 – 12.30

How to have a great party… Our tips…

Childrens parties in Christchurch Dorset and Romsey Hampshire

When you are booking your childrens party, there is so much to do, which is why at Serendipity Sam’s, we make the experience as stress free as possible.

Our top 3 tips for a great party…

  • Book Early
    This will help you ensure you get the date and time you are looking for. If you are a member, it will also help you to save money on some of our party options (see Special Offers page for details)
  • Send Your Invitations Out At The Right Time
    With all Serendipity Sam’s parties, we provide FREE invitations once we have received your deposit. It is vital you time sending them correctly, sending them too early will result in a poor response, and leaving them too late will only make you panic. Always try and send invites around 3 weeks prior to the party, this leaves people with enough time to get back to you, and not enough time to forget (in most cases). Always make a list of the people you have invited, as this will help you with our third and final tip…
  • Chase RSVPs
    You want your party to be a hit, and that rests on having the right number of guests. We ask for final numbers due to attend your party, 24 hours in advance of the party. It is always a good idea to chase those people who you have invited, but you have not yet heard back from. Put a mark next to those who have replied (a tick for attending, a cross for not attending, and a question mark for maybe). Then send out reminders or notes to those who you have not heard back from at least 1 week before the party.

Remember, when you book a party with Serendipity Sam’s you only need to worry about cake, candles, napkins (for wrapping the cake), and party bag fillers.

You may also wish to provide party room decorations, due to the number of different age groups we cater for our rooms are decorated neutrally to make them suitable for both sexes and all ages. We allow party organisers to place decorations in our party rooms, but ask that in doing so they only use tack, not tape, and that decorations are removed prior to leaving.

Please remember to book early to avoid disappointment, you can book a Serendipity Sam’s party by calling 0845 450 7200.

Team Member Profile: Hannah (Romsey)

Childrens parties in Romsey Hampshire

Hannah (Romsey), Play & Party Host

Here’s Hannah who is another of our brilliant team members at our Romsey play and party centre. Hannah is part of our Play & Party hosting team looking after the needs of the lucky birthday boys and girls that have parties with us, and helps keep play safe and fun in our fantastic play frames.

Those of you that have met Hannah will definetely remember her, she is one of our most popular team members with the children that visit, and most know her by name. It’s probably because she loves to make every visit really memorable for all of our visitors, but especially those who have chosen to have a childrens party with us. Having achived her Silver customer service award through our internal customer service recognition scheme, Hannah really does like to make sure there are smiles all-round. You can often see Hannah organising games and races with some of the children, her favourites are our ‘Sams Snap’ game where she hides a picture card in the play frame for children to find, and ‘Bellas Ball’ where she hides a stickered ball in the ball pool for children to find.

Hannah understands the importance of keeping our centre clean, and thats why you will often see her around keeping tables clear, and ensuring the toilets are always at there best.

Hannah has been working with us since the beginning of 2009, and started as a Play Host helping to ensure rules within the play areas where being adhered to and making sure everyone was having a good time.

Hannah quickly progressed to our Party Host team, where she works now helping to make sure parties at Serendipity Sam’s are the best! We regularly receive letters of thanks from grateful parents who have been able to relax and enjoy their child’s party, leaving Hannah to organise everything for them.

On your next visit to Serendipity Sam’s in Romsey for a childrens indoor play party, or just a normal visit to have a play – make sure you say hello to Hannah, she will be waiting with a big smile ready to make your day.

Hannah’s favourite part of the play frame is the spinner where you stand on the base, hold on to the pole and spin around. It’s really good fun! Hannah’s favourite dish on our menu is the childrens Chicken Nugget meal, made from 100% chicken breast – they are delicious, and very popular.

Hannah is a valued member of our team, and looks forward to welcoming you to our Romsey centre soon…

Mark (Romsey), Customer Service Host

In the latest of our team member profiles, we introduce Mark who forms part of the customer services team at our Romsey (near Totton, and Southampton in Hampshire) play and party centre.

Those of you who have been lucky enough to meet Mark will agree that he really loves to please our customers, he has a really genuine customer service ethic which has won him many internal awards through our ‘Going for Gold Customer Service’ award scheme. Mark can often be found at our diner, where he will serve you the best of our food and beverage offerings with a big smile on his face – he is also very keen to help keep our centre clean and tidy, and often helps both during, and after our trading hours to make sure the entire building is at its best.

Mark has been with Serendipity Sam’s for just over a year now, starting initially as a ‘Play Host’ helping to ensure that the play area’s remained safe, helping children find their way around and generally making sure everyone was safe and happy!

Earlier this year Mark was transferred to our customer service team, which is where he works now hosting parties, serving on the diner, and keeping our customers happy. Recently Mark was awarded the Romsey Team Member of the Year 2009 award for his outstanding contribution to the team where he always delivers, and ensures that his colleagues and customers all have smiles on their faces. When you meet Mark, just see if his enthusiasm for fun, politeness and overall great customer care doesn’t inspire you – we are very proud to have Mark on our team, he is a shining example of our team and the efforts they put into delivering a fun experience for all of our customers.

Mark’s favourite part of our play frame is the Astra Slide (the big blue central slide), you can often see him racing kids down it in his spare time (all part of the service!). Mark is a big fan of the food available at Serendipity Sam’s Intergalactic Diner, and his favourite dish is our Chicken Burger (which contains 100% chicken breast).
