About balloon modeller services
Most work in half-hour or hourly blocks. Anyone working with children should hold an enhanced DBS certificate and public liability insurance, and reputable performers carry both without being asked. Latex allergy is worth mentioning at booking, and most modellers carry non-latex alternatives for that reason.
