Wedding & Event Nannies
the only person who’s allowed a tantrum on your big day is you
About
We are so excited to have a team of nannies ready and waiting to come and join you for your special day or event!
Having childcare at your wedding or event is the perfect way to kick back and relax at those long awaited celebrations! If you are including (or are considering including) children and want to allow your guests to relax a little or would like the children to be entertained separately, then this is the way to do it.
We pride ourselves on our flexibility to support you in whatever way you think will best suit you and the day, but in case you need a little inspiration here are some of the requests we’ve previously had.
A creche style area with toys, crafts, books and teepees for children of all ages with lots of nannies
A sole nanny for the young baby of the bride and groom
A sole nanny / team of nannies to care for nieces and nephews and the children of those in the wedding party
A sleepover evening with a film and hot chocolate to leave the parents child free for the meal and dancing
A fabulous sports day inspired few hours, filled with all sorts of games and medals
We’ve looked after 30 children at a wedding at Kew Gardens, we’ve sent nannies down the aisle with the bride and grooms newborn baby and we’ve done every type of wedding and event in between.
We’re pretty sure we can do it all!
Our Nannies
We want you to feel totally confident and relaxed in the knowledge that your children and/or guests’ children are happy and safe throughout the day (and night). This means we carefully select your nanny (or nannies) based on a number of criteria, to ensure you and the children have the best experience.
All of our nannies:
have passed our rigorous application process, which involves 2 interviews
hold an in date Enhanced DBS (criminal record check)
hold a current paediatric first aid certificate*
Prior to your booking:
The nanny / nannies are fully briefed on the set up and plan. If necessary (i.e. if the venue is on a river front) we may send a nanny to check out the venue in advance.
The nanny / nannies will arrive in good time to set up, so that they are ready to go when you need them!
If we are sending a team of nannies we will appoint a lead nanny to be yours / the guests main point of contact
In some instances it is possible to arrange a meeting with your nanny or lead nanny prior to the day. If this is something that you’d like, please let us know when making your booking.
*when sending a team of nannies not all nannies may hold an paediatric first aid certificate as the lead nanny will be the designated first aider.

FAQs
We’ve addressed some of our most frequently asked questions below. However, we do know that every situation, event and family are unique so please do reach out if you have additional questions.
+ How many nannies will I need? Is there a minimum number of hours we need to book for?
We do have to adhere to official and common sense ratios, for your sake, our sake and of course for the safety of the children. We therefore consider each set up and size of event carefully to ensure the optimal number of nannies are booked. The exact number of nannies for your event will be outlined in your quote.
Yes – we have a minimum booking of four hours for the nannies.
+ Are there additional travel costs for the nannies?
With all bookings over 25 miles (one way) from our Bath office (BA2 7DZ) there is a 45p per mile charge..
If your wedding is further afield we may also charge for accommodation.
+ How will we identify the nanny on the day?
All nannies will be dressed in an orange Freckles branded t-shirts. The t-shirts help the children and parents to know exactly who they are and where they.
If you'd like your nanny / nannies to be in different attire then just let us know.
+ What about cancellations?
You can read our full terms and conditions here which outlines our cancellation policy in detail.
+ Some of the children who were supposed to be attending the wedding are no longer coming. Does this change the cost of the booking?
The number of Wedding Nannies you need are worked out in relation to the number and ages of children who are attending so this may affect the number of nannies you need.
If you have more or less children attending than you had initally expected then get in touch with Team Freckles and where possible we'll adjust your booking accordingly.
+ Do you cover outside of Somerset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire?
Yes! We can generally provide Wedding Nannies to anywhere in the country and try to use nannies who are local to your event.
For weddings where we have to send nannies from further afield an additional charge may be incurred, but this would be clearly included in your quote.

Libby and Charlie were really great, they were a great asset to the team on the weekend and they did a fantastic job with the children. The kids and the parents loved them! It was a joy to have them around! We will definitely be booking nannies through you again
