Posting for traffic...

My DD 1yo, has been offered a place on their books. Does anyone have any experience with them? What can we expect etc?

Thanks, an interesting read. Wondering if anyone has any recent experience with them?
Have you had any auditions? Where abouts are you?

We had one locally, it shut down a couple of years back. I'm guessing it didnt make a profit. TBH my area isnt exactly the sort of area for wholesome, museli chomping, cycling children with head of blonde tumbling curls! Grin

By rule of thumb, any agency that requires you to pay them is a no-no.

I know nothing about modelling, child or otherwise but having read threads on here, it seems the best agencies do not charge an upfront fee, but take their fee from any bookings your child may get.

Well I do believe they're genuine, not a fraud thing. Was just wondering if people actually got any work from them?

Bizzykids are genuine. I'm sure there was a fly on the wall series on them a few years ago.
However I know lots of people accepted by them and paying the fee and only the one I know near London has had any Auditions from them for modelling.

My daughter was on Bizzykidz for a year - got absolutely nothing, not even sent to a casting....

Have a look at their blog, it should give you an idea of the jobs they get blog.bizzykidz.com

You might be better if you are in Manchester as they will have some clients up north but from what I have heard they seem to take a LOT of children. When you can get work with them they are very good in fairness.

Maybe u should call them if she got nothing in a year, as my daughter was offered jobs constantly within a year and I/ we only took them up on their offer on one shoot which she got paid a substantial amount of money for a 5 year old for one hours work. We never did anything after that regardless of what they offered, she is now 16 and back on their books, if there’s one agency I trust it’s this one
