Dedicated to keeping the younger guests happy and safe for the duration of your celebration, our team will allow the adults to have some freedom, knowing their children are in the hands of qualified professionals.

Bells&Bunting Childcare was founded by sisters Rebecca and Victoria, who have been working in the childcare industry for many years (and still do!). Highly experienced childcare professionals; most importantly, they share a love for caring for and providing little ones and young children with lots of fun, playful and magical experiences. They have been providing creches, childcare and nannying services to clients, events, couples and their guests at a number of exclusive wedding venues and private properties in Somerset and Devon since they began.

Wanting to invite the little ones in your life is completely natural, however, the excitement of the day may at times become a little overwhelming. With the expertise and care of the Bells&Bunting Event Childcare team, there will be extra hands and eyes on deck to keep the young guests entertained while the adults listen out for the speeches, catch up with friends, and dance on the floor until dark. A child-friendly space can even be set up in your venue with activities and games that will delight the little ones all day long.

What we offer:

  • Your very own wedding nanny/nannies on hand to care for, supervise, feed, change, and entertain any little ones they're in charge of.
  • Children's activity packs and mini set-ups with toys, resources, and activities included that your little guests will love!
  • Full Creche service. A dedicated area/room for children dressed with toys, games, fancy dress, props, themed play tents, arts and crafts, and soft play. The designated space can be transformed into a "night-time" retreat with wind-down activities and snuggly furnishings so the children can rest.
  • Babysitting in on-site or nearby accommodation so grown-ups can celebrate a little longer into the night.

Every big day or event is unique. Thus, we pride ourselves in using our experience and knowledge within our field, to tailor the services that we can offer to each couple, family or clients individual childcare requirements whilst, always ensuring high standards and professionalism remains at the forefront of what we do. Just like every client and their event is unique likewise, the cohort of children we are looking after at the event is too.

Our overall priority, establishing a safe and secure environment where parents feel comfortable, children feel comfortable and where we can foster warmth and joy for every child.

Plus, several more qualifications in child development, play, children's wellbeing, and the performing arts! They have all the skills you could wish for to become one of the play people and a co-adventurer for the day, so the children have as much fun at an event as their parents/guardians can, knowing their children remain safe and happy.

Promising to be there from start to finish, from the first enquiry to the main event, the sister duo will not only help plan the perfect childcare package but deliver the care on the day!

Bells&Bunting Childcare covers venues right across the South West of England. As we align ourselves with Ofsted's staffing ratio requirements, the overall price will depend on the age and number of children, the number of nannies needed, and the service and package you select.

Best decision ever

Where do I even start with Vicky?

Booking Vicky for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment she walked into our bridal suite, she completely put us at ease. She got our little boy dressed and ready for the day, taking away the pressure of looking after a busy two-year-old while still keeping him close so he could be part of all those special moments.

What amazed us most was that she didn't need a lengthy briefing or constant direction. She just got it. Within minutes she understood exactly what was needed, where she could help, and how to support both us and our son throughout the day. It felt as though she instinctively knew how to strike the perfect balance between keeping him involved in the wedding while also making sure he was happy, entertained and safe.

Vicky looked after him throughout the entire day, and she was absolutely incredible. She has such a natural way with children and knew exactly when to step in and engage him, and when to give him the freedom to play, explore and spend time with family and friends. He was always safe, happy and having the best time.

What really stood out was how seamlessly she integrated into the wedding. So many of our guests and family members commented on how wonderful she was. She never felt like an outside supplier; she felt like part of the day. Everyone could see how much she genuinely cared about our son, and so many people told us afterwards how fantastic she had been.

As parents, being able to relax and enjoy our wedding knowing he was in such capable hands was priceless. Vicky is calm, gentle, caring and incredibly professional. Some people offer wedding childcare as an add-on service, but Vicky is on a completely different level. She clearly has a huge amount of experience and genuinely loves what she does.

Our son was only two years old at the time of our wedding, yet nearly a year later he still talks about Vicky. That says everything.

If you're getting married at Orchardleigh, or anywhere else for that matter, I genuinely could not recommend Vicky more highly. She was an absolute blessing to our family, and we are so grateful she was part of our day.

If only we could get married all over again, just so we could book her again!

Thank you, Vicky, for everything. We will never forget the difference you made to our wedding day.

Made a special day seamless!


Having Rebecca at my brother’s wedding to look after our 2 boys was such a perfect addition to a special day. In the lead up to the day, Rebecca couldn’t have done any more communicating with us and making sure we were comfortable with everything. On the day, she was great with the boys and they had a lovely time exploring the grounds and playing games. Our boys still talk about Rebecca! Thanks for everything! Would definitely recommend!

Best purchase for the wedding BY FAR

We have 2 kids (2.5y and 10m) and invited a lot of children to our wedding (similar ages). It was really important to us that all the kids had a good time at the wedding - and Bells&Bunting really overdelivered! The planning beforehand was amazing, we went in feeling very confident. Becky was in charge of our kids from midday to midnight, and our eldest has been raving about her ever since. Every guest said that all the kids looked like they were having the time of their lives, and guests who were unsure about if their child would want to go into the childcare room (especially as their child didn't know anyone there) were amazed at how settled they were. There was a big range of ages (0-7y) and the nannies made sure everyone was having fun. Becky did our children's bedtimes for us - and they went down straight away and stayed down?! I wish I could give more than 5* - they were very good value for money, and easily the best purchase I did for the wedding!

Kind, professional, wonderful event childcare!

We hired the absolutely lovely Victoria to look after our son on the day of our wedding. She is an incredible nanny, who we would highly recommend if you’re looking for childcare for your event! Our son was only 10 months at the time and had never been looked after by anyone except my mum, so we were quite nervous but knew we needed help with him while we were off getting married. As soon as we met Victoria, a few weeks before the big day, we felt immediately comfortable and our son did too! She is so kind, caring and fun, so we had nothing to worry about on the day. She played with our son and kept him in the quiet away from the crowds, fed him and helped put him to bed until we got home later. Thank you Victoria, you are wonderful!

The best wedding childminders you will find

Having Victoria and Rebecca at our wedding was one of the best choices made for our day.

The entire process with them was so easy, comforting and exciting. The level of care and love they put into the children they care for is out of this world. My children had the best day with these guys and I know that’s because so much time and effort was put into getting to know each child, they couldn’t have done more if they tried. They went above and beyond.

The crèches were beautiful, the attention to detail with their decorations were stunning, the goody bags they made are still being played with and the kids are still talking about their day almost 3 weeks on.

I cannot recommend Bells and Bunting enough. These ladies will make you feel so at ease and your day will run so smoothly knowing your little ones are in the most capable and loving hands.

Thank you both so so very much, we are going to treasure you and the wonderful memories you’ve made for our kids forever xx

An superb service and experience

Victoria was absolutely fantastic with our baby. She knew that it was the first time we were leaving him with someone and we were nervous about that. She’s has been reassuring and patient with us throughout the process and even provided a clear detailed sheet outlining her responsibilities and timelines.
Our guests kept telling us, even after the wedding that she was taking such great care of him and that he was having so much fun. Victoria is someone I trust implicitly. She’s calm, patient, kind and has an evident bond with children. I could not recommend her more! Thank you again Victoria

Rebecca was amazing

Rebecca was absolutely amazing with my 2 year old girl whilst I attended a wedding.
She was so happy and has been talking lots more ever since. If we lived closer I would use Rebecca on a regular occasion

30 children at our wedding!

We were overjoyed to have an incredible team from Bells and Bunting at our wedding day. We had nearly 30 children throughout the day and Victoria, Rebecca and the other nannies made everything an absolute joy for them as well as relaxed and enjoyable for the parents. The wonderful ladies were so communicative, helpful and understanding. They gave me so much information and set up the most beautiful play space (I wish I could have spent some time in there but as the bride I was pulled in other directions! )
Our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without the incredible B&B team and I'm so grateful for everything they did on the day and in the lead up to it 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Incredible

Victoria looked after my nearly 3 year old during my sisters wedding. Throughout the process she has been professional and responsive to any questions or queries, making sure that she knows my sons likes and dislikes, his routine and my preferences.
During the day she spent the day looking after my son and supported him in the activities that he wanted to do, he was instantly happy and comfortable with her and he didn't look back! Victoria made me feel at ease and she's a magician being able to get him to sleep!
I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone, the best nanny ever

Best Wedding childcare!

We used bells and bunting to run a children's crèche at our recent wedding this September. Victoria was extremely helpful and responsive to all of my long emails and questions. We did quite alot of planning together of how/where and when the crèche would run at our wedding. They were very flexible and understanding - happy to cater to everything that we wanted. Not only this but we also organised victoria to look after Teddy our two year old for 24 hours during our wedding. This was amazing and meant that we could enjoy our day to the fullest. Victoria became one of the family and Ted was so happy with her. We did a meet&greet and day of childcare before the wedding and organised a detailed care plan which gave us reassurance that Ted would be happy whilst away from us. The crèche was great on the day and all the children loved being able to dip in and out - as did the parents. Bells and bunting provided a care plan link for all parents to fill in as well as information about them and their qualifications. I literally couldn't fault the service and it was one of the best things that we chose to do on our big day. The pricing was clear and reasonable. Thank you Vicky and team! Alison,Dave and Teddy! X

Amazing! 10 stars if I could.

Victoria at Bells and Bunting was absolutely amazing. We booked Victoria to look after our three children (1,4,6) whilst we attended a family wedding in Somerset. I was really anxious about leaving all three kids for such a long time with someone we hadn't met before and away from home but as soon as Victoria walked in the door I felt at ease. The kids loved her and had a fantastic time. Victoria's service was warm, friendly but also very professional with a really detailed handover. We were able to relax and enjoy the wedding without worry. So grateful for her and would recommend to anyone.

Incredible, cannot recommend enough! 🌟

Cannot recommend Bells & Bunting Childcare enough! 🌟 We just wanted to say the biggest thank you to Rebecca for looking after our darling baby E on our wedding day 🥰 it meant than we were able to relax and enjoy our day, knowing that all of her needs were being met from the moment we met with Rebecca until the evening ended 💃 We feel so lucky to have had her as part of our special day, and felt she was exceptional in what she does. I felt immediately comfortable with her, and family and friends commented on how skilled she was and how it was a brilliant idea to have her with us. We cannot recommend her enough to others 🌟 We only wished we lived nearer by so we could have E go to her nursery when its open, and those that are able are so so fortunate. Ourselves and family and friends will certainly recommend to others when opportunities arise too. Thanks so much again! ❤️ xx

Fantastic :)

We chose Bells & Bunting child care for our anniversary party to help with creating a children's play area. Both Rebecca and Victoria were fantastic with all the children and I am so happy we chose them for our event - it was perfect. The play stations were so creative and used by all children and kept them entertained for the day. There were also stations where children could relax when tired. I would 100% recommend :)

Wedding nanny for three children

Victoria was very kind and caring towards the children. I was unsure if my 2 year old would settle with a stranger but he did instantly. Victoria was flexible throughout the day and made the whole experience fun for the children. We were worried about them missing out on the wedding fun, but actually they were having such a good time inside with Victoria they were happy. It was nice to relax knowing the children were happy and safe.
Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic from start to finish

Rebecca and Victoria are absolutely fantastic. My sister recently had them attend her wedding as childcare and entertainment for our children. From the moment they arrived they were so lovely and the kids immediately felt comfortable with them, we were so shocked how easily they settled, they kept the kids entertained and safe throughout the whole day, whilst still allowing them to be part of the wedding, ensuring they were around for photos, and able to enjoy time with the family when they wished to. Lots of comments were made by guests about how fantastic they were, and what a fabulous idea to have at the wedding, all the adults were able to enjoy all parts of the wedding knowing the children were safe and happy. The venue itself also commented on how fantastic they were and one they would now recommend. Thank you so much for making the day so easy flowing and enjoyable for the kids. You were fantastic from start to finish.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
