♡ A Little Reassurance Before Your Big Day
Planning your wedding is such an exciting time and I understand that arranging childcare for your little guest can bring a few extra questions along the way.
I have put together answers to some of the questions parents and couples most often have about my wedding childcare services from booking arrangements and payments to activities, bedtime routines and individual care needs.
If there’s anything you’d like to know that isn’t covered here, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’m always happy to chat and help you feel confident about the arrangements for your special day.

💍 Booking & Payments
How do I secure my wedding date?
To secure your wedding date, a 25% booking deposit is required, along with your completed childcare booking form. Once both have been received and your booking has been confirmed, your date will be reserved exclusively for you.
When is the remaining balance due?
The remaining 75% can be paid by bank transfer or Revolut no later than 14 days before your wedding. Alternatively, you can arrange to pay in cash on your wedding day before childcare services begin.
When is the remaining balance due?
The remaining 75% balance can be paid either 14 days before your wedding or on your wedding day before care commences.
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept payment by bank transfer, Revolut or cash. Your preferred payment method will be agreed when confirming your booking.
Is my booking deposit refundable?
The 25% booking deposit is non-refundable if you choose to cancel, as it reserves your wedding date. Full cancelation and refund conditions are outlined in my booking terms, subject to your applicable consumer rights.
Can I change my childcare package after booking?
I understand that wedding plans can change! If you’d like to adjust your childcare arrangements, please get in touch as early as possible. I’ll do my best to accommodate changes, subject to availability and an y difference in package pricing.

🌸 Wedding Day Childcare

Childcare takes place at your wedding venue or in suitable accommodation arranged as part of your wedding plans. Before the big day, we’ll discuss the available space and agree on a comfortable, safe and appropriate setting for your little guest’s care
What activities will you provide for my child?
I’ll prepare a selection of age appropriate activities based on your child’s interests and individual needs. These may include arts and crafts, colouring, stories, games, imaginative play and quieter sensory activities.
My approach is flexible, allowing your little guest to enjoy activities at their own pace, with opportunities for rest and relaxation whenever needed.
Will my child still be able to join in with the wedding celebrations?
Absolutely! I understand hw special it is to have your little guest involved in your wedding celebrations.
Where appropriate, I can support your child in joining agreed parts of the day, whether that’s photographs, the ceremony or spending time with family. We’ll discuss your preferences beforehand so their care fits naturally around your wedding plans.
Do you provide meals and snacks?
Parents re asked to provide their child’s meals, snacks and drinks or arrange suitable food with the wedding venue.
I am happy to support mealtimes and follow your child’s usual eating routines, taking account of any allergies, dietary requirements or feeding preferences discussed in advance.

Of course! You’re welcome to check in with your little guest whenever you wish.
We’ll agree on a communication plan beforehand, whether you would prefer occasional updates or for me to contact you only when needed. My aim is to keep you reassured while allowing you to relax and enjoy your special day.
Will you care for more than one child at a wedding?
I provide a personal childcare service and the number of children I can safely care for depends on their ages, individual needs and the arrangements required.
Please let me know how many children need care when making your enquiry, so I can assess whether I’m able to accommodate your requirements.

🌙 Evening & Overnight Care
Do you provide evening and bedtime childcare?
Yes! I offer evening and bedtime childcare, allowing parents to relax and enjoy their wedding celebrations while their little guest receives attentive, reassuring care.
I’ll follow your child’s usual evening routine as closely as possible, including quiet activities, bedtime preparation and settling them to sleep.
What is the difference between sleeping overnight care and active overnight care?
Sleeping overnight care is suitable for children who generally sleep through the night and require an adult to be present and available if they wake.
Active overnight care is designed for children who need more regular attention throughout the night including feeds, nappy changes, additional settling or other agreed care needs.
We’ll discuss your child’s usual nightie routine beforehand to help determine which option is most suitable.
Where will my child sleep during overnight care?
Overnight childcare takes place in suitable accommodation arranged and agreed in advance.
Parents are responsible for providing an appropriate sleep space and any necessary equipment including a travel cot, bedding or familiar comfort items.
We’ll discuss the sleeping arrangements before your wedding to ensure they’re suitable for your child’s needs.
What happens if my child wakes during the night?
If your child wakes during the night, I’ll provide reassurance and respond according to thecae arrangements we’ve discussed.
For children who need regular overnight attention, including feeds, changes or frequent resettling, my active overnight care option is generally the most appropriate.

Absolutely! My Complete Wedding Experience package provides up to 26 hours of childcare, from 9am on your wedding morning until 11am the following day.
This package offers continuity of care thorughout the celebrations, mevening, overnight period and following morning with sleeping overnight or active overnight options available.

🌈 Inclusive Care & Additional Needs
Do you provide childcare for autistic children and children with additional needs?
Absolutely! Inclusive childcare is something I’m particularly passionate about.
As a qualified primary school teacher with training in special and inclusive education, I have extensive experience supporting autistic children and children with a wide range of additional needs.
I understand that every child is unique and I take a personalised, child-centred approach to ensure your little guest feels comfortable, valued and included throughout the celebrations.
How do you support children with sensory sensitivities?
Weddings can be busy environments, with music, crowds, unfamiliar surroundings and lots of excitement.
I’ll work closely with you to understand your child’s sensory preferences and any situations they may find overwhelming. Where suitable arrangements are available I can incorporate quiet breaks, familiar activities, sensory supports and calming routine’s to help your child feel comfortable.
My approach is always flexible and guided by your child’s individual needs.
Can you support children who are non-verbal or communicate differently?
Yes. I have experience supporting children with a variety of communication styles and needs.
I recognise that communication can take many forms, including gestures, facial expressions, visual supports and argumentative and alternative communication (AAC).
Before your wedding, I’ll discuss your child’s preferred communication methods and any familiar supports they use, so I can resend to them in a way that feels natural and reassuring.
What if my child finds changes in routine difficult?
I understand that changes in routine and unfamiliar environments can be challenging for some children.
Before your wedding, We’ll discuss your child’s usual routines, preferences and any strategies that help them manage transitions.
Where possible, I’ll incorporate familiar activities, visual supports, gentle preparation and reassuring routine’s to help your little guest feel secure and supported.
Can you support children who need additional emotional reassurance?
Of course. Some children may need extra reassurance when spending time in an unfamiliar setting or away form their parents.
I’ll take time to build trust, respond patiently to your child’s emotions and offer comfort and co-regulation in ways that suit their individual needs.
I’ll also work with you to agree on a settling-in approach and a communication plan so your child feels supported and you remain reassured.
Will we have an opportunity to discuss our child’s need before booking?
Absolutely. I welcome the opportunity to discuss your child’s individual needs before you make a booking.
This allows me to explore their routines, interests, communication preferences, sensory needs and any additional support they may require.
Together, we can consider the most suitable childcare arrangements and whether I’m able to safely meet your child’s needs during the wedding celebrations.

🎀 Preparing for the Big Day
What should I pack for my child?
I recommend packing everything your little guest would normally need for the duration of their care, including a change of clothes, nappies and wipes if required, meals, snacks, drinks and any favourite comfort items.
For evening or overnight bookings, please also include pyjamas, suitable sleeping arrangements and anything your child usually needs as part of their bedtime routine.
We’ll discuss a personalised packing list before your wedding so you can feel confident that everything is ready.
What information will you need about my child?
Before your wedding, I’ll ask you to complete a childcare information and consent form.
This will include important details such as your child’s routines, allergies, medical considerations, dietary requirements, emergency contacts and any additional support needs.
I’ll also ask about their interests, favourite activities and anything that helps them feel comfortable and reassured.
Can my child bring their favourite toys or comfort items?
Absolutely! Familiar toys, books, blankets nd comfort items can make a big difference when children are spending time in a new environment. .
I encourage parents to bring along anything that helps their little guest feel happy, settled and secure.

It’s completely natural for children to need a little extra reassurance in unfamiliar surroundings.
I’ll take a gentle, patient approach offering comfort, familiar activities and time to settle at their own pace.
We’ll agree on a settling-in plan beforehand and if your child remains distressed or needs you, I’ll contact you in line with our agreed arrangements.
What happens if my child becomes unwell during the wedding?
Your child’s wellbeing will always be my priority.
If your little guest becomes unwell, I’ll contact you promptly, provide appropriate support and follow the emergency arrangements agreed before the wedding.
If urgent medical assistance is required, I’ll contact the emergency services and notify you as soon as possible.
Do we need to arrange a meeting before the wedding?
We’ll have a conversation before your wedding to discus your child’s needs, routine’s and childcare arrangements.
Depending on your child’s needs and the practical arrangements, we can also discuss whether an introductory meeting would be helpful.
My aim is to make the experience as familiar and reassuring as possible for both you and your little guest.

♡ Still Have a Question?
Every wedding is unique and every little guest is special in their own way.
If you have a question that hasn’t been answered here or you would simply like to chat about your child’s individual needs and your wedding plans, I would love to hear from you.
