“All children and staff loved the activities. There was something for everyone, and children had a go at everything. The children said they wanted to come back and do it all again!

Amy & Darren were fantastic! Very friendly and had got a good measure of the children from the start. Nothing was too much trouble. It was very well organised and the day ran very smoothly.” - Blackford Primary School

"Year 5 & 6 had a fabulous time. They really enjoyed the orienteering and Darren was excellent at knowing where the children were. Canoeing was fantastic.

Year 3 & 4 children loved canoeing and orienteering best. Liked the duck collection when canoeing and the challenge to get to certain points. Loved the independence of going off on hunt for orienteering markers with their maps.

The Reception, Y1 and 2 children enjoyed their day. It was really well organised. The canoeing was very popular, as was making the s’mores!

All the instructors were great, extremely attentive to the needs of the different characters within each pupil group – thank you." - Lowther Endowed School

"They all loved the day. A new member of staff took part this year, and she was really impressed with the organisation and activities, and particularly the archery. She sent me a special thanks for booking it!

I think the activities etc are great. I think we’ve always had children that struggle working as a team and this alongside other team building we do throughout the year is really helping the newer cohorts adapt." - Coniston Primary School

"It matched and exceeded our expectations – the whole day was seamless and staff felt like they had enjoyed a day off because the Talkin Adventures team led so well.

The staff and pupils really enjoyed the activities they took part in. The instructors kept the instructions brief and simple so that the children could use all the time to get involved and enjoy long sessions.

We value an action packed day which allows for children to try several different activities. It is good that you offer such a variety of activities.

All the instructors were excellent – they communicated clearly and had a good understanding of the needs of primary aged pupils." - Langwathby Primary School

"We were blown away by the quality of the adventure day - it really was superb.

The activities were well-structured and exceeded my expectations.

the structure of the activities was better than I have seen in many similar settings. The teambuilding section was the best I have seen before – really excellent. Pupils enjoyed the games played during the canoeing and archery, and the orienteering was a lovely activity for getting out and seeing the site.

We found the staff there to be highly skilled and very helpful and were great with the kids. Clearly experienced at working with a range of children with different needs.

We were totally satisfied with the way that the day was run. Thank you to all the staff involved." - Belle Vue Primary School

"Thank you for making our Apprentice Team Building Event a success. We were happy with how you organised the fun packed day for us, it was excellent. All of the apprentices thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the weather, although wet, did not make any difference. There was a good variety of games and everyone worked well as a team to solve problems and gain those winning points, the interaction was energetic and even we couldn't help but join in.

The expectations were very clear and it was interesting to watch them having to work together as a group. The event totally exceeded our expectations, brilliant activities and brilliant hosting. The staff were so enthusiastic and patient with the group. Talkin Adventures went the extra mile to ensure everyone had a great time.

We felt in safe hands throughout the whole process. An amazing event, setup, staff, service and definitely a day colleagues will remember for many years to come!

Thank you so much to Darren. The event would not have been anywhere near as successful without you. The feedback has been amazing!

I will be recommending this to other teams in the City Council."
