“We have hosted The Happy Puzzle Company a few times now and their latest Smart Thinkers programme took everything to the next level. The students were engaged from start to finish, and the staff were impressed by how well the students collaborated on the tasks. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending The Happy Puzzle Company to any other school.”

“It has been just over three months since our puzzle day with you. Your workshops have without doubt made our students, from Reception to Year 6, much more resilient and they are embracing new challenges with confidence. We have engaged, determined students as a result of the Happy Puzzle day. We want you here every week!”

"The Smart Thinkers programme was outstanding. It was amazing to see all the students collaborating and solving a wide range of problems and challenges. The day was organised really well and the presenter had good control of the children. It was a rare opportunity for us as teachers to take a step back and look at the children problem solving and communicating. An amazing day was had all round."

"Every single student was focussed and motivated for the whole time. It was lovely to see different learning styles being catered for, so everyone has a chance to show their own learning strengths. Being hands-on and tactile, the activities were a success. As a teacher, it was great to be a kid again. Thanks to The Happy Puzzle Company for a great day."

 "The Happy Puzzle Company has played a vital part in raising the quality of learning in our school. The choice and quality of games The Happy Puzzle Company provides is outstanding. The children's workshops were energising, the parent's workshop awesome! Our children are now making informed, strategic decisions across the curriculum and have become purposefully and actively engaged in their learning. Peer coaches always use games to inspire their young learners and set them ever increasing challenges. I cannot imagine our curriculum without the support of The Happy Puzzle Company."

"What wonderful fun and an incredibly effective learning experience! Every single student was 'on task' from start to finish and by the end it was crystal clear that they had a renewed determination to conquer challenges with their school work. Thank you for three fantastic days!"

"We held a puzzle challenge day for some of our senior students and invited students from one of our mainstream partner schools. It was inspiring to see both sets of youngsters interacting and working towards a goal in a fun environment. Students were also able to show progress in key areas of using and applying and space, shape and measure, including discussing patterns and problem solving. The puzzle activities are fantastic for developing our students’ spatial awareness, co-ordination, social and fine motor skills and we have now incorporated many puzzles into our daily lessons. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these events to other special schools."

"A day with the Happy Puzzle Company provides immense excitement as the children develop their awareness of team building. The activities provided caters for every child and all abilities. Once one level is mastered the children can then progress on to the next. A professional company providing enrichment to any curriculum."

"Mind Missions day at the Canterbury Primary school was an entertaining and fun experience from reception to year 6! The teachers had time to watch, as well as work with small groups. It highlighted children's strengths in leadership as well as problem solving. Observing how they tackled each new challenge was interesting and has resulted in KS2 incorporating more problem solving into their classwork. Pupils who don't always shine at numeracy did surprisingly well in logical thinking and gave them a confidence boost. A KS1 pupil said "We tried and tried to make it balance. It worked best when we all took turns, then it fell off!"

"We had been full of anticipation and excitement about our Happy Puzzle day and we were not disappointed. Throughout the sessions, students were completely engrossed and engaged with their team problem solving. The collaboration and determination needed to complete tasks was at the right level for each class that attended. The presenter was very professional, knowledgeable and a delight to work with."

 “Absolutely outstanding and highly effective. Both staff and students were blown away by the Puzzle Challenge Day and we are reaping the rewards. We have also seen an immediate change in the students. It’s tangible and it’s remarkable. Incredible workshops and we are feeling the benefits!”

"Mind Missions was enjoyed by all children in our school. They loved the challenge aspect of their problem solving and they developed their team work skills throughout the day. It has improved the children’s willingness to take a risk and try different ways to solve a problem. A great day – thank you!"

"We ran some sessions with The Happy Puzzle Company as part of a new year 7 induction day. It was great to see all the new students bonding and working together. I would recommend The Happy Puzzle Company to all schools looking to run some teambuilding sessions. The booking process was very simple and their team kept in touch the whole way through."
