I offer personalised packages to suit your individual family needs. Each child is different and unique, and I offer that little extra touch to ensure their needs are met throughout the day. I guarantee your children are safe, well looked after, and involved in your celebrations as much as you want them to be.

Best Wedding Nanny ever!!!🥰

Honestly could not recommend Claire enough she looked after our 1 year old Ada for our wedding day , from start to finish she was the absolute best Ada was so happy and content the full day she took to Claire straight away. She was so well looked after all day we didn’t have to lift a finger Ada was changed , fed , had fun and lots of toys to play with that Claire provided sun cream on everything she thought of. She took Ada back to our hotel at the end of the evening bath time and bed , she was just perfect and amazing with all the other children. All of our guests commented on how amazing she was. We are so grateful we had Claire looking after our baby girl!

The Best Decision We Made for Our Wedding Day

If you're considering booking Claire for your wedding, do it. It was genuinely one of the best decisions we made.

From the moment I met Claire, I knew she was the perfect person to entrust with our most precious gift – our son. He was 22 months old at the time of our wedding and, like most toddlers, full of energy, curiosity and determination to keep everyone on their toes! Claire took everything in her stride with complete professionalism and confidence.

She has a natural warmth about her and exudes calm, kindness and compassion. Our son bonded with her so quickly, which gave us immediate reassurance that he was in safe and caring hands.

Throughout the day, Claire's experience and understanding of young children were evident. She instinctively knew when our son was becoming overstimulated and always made the right call, putting his wellbeing, safety and emotions first. Knowing someone was paying such close attention to his needs allowed us to relax completely and enjoy every moment of our wedding.

We booked Claire for the full day and overnight, and it meant we could fully immerse ourselves in our celebrations without constantly worrying whether our son was tired, overwhelmed, hungry or needing a break. We knew he was being cared for, comforted and loved just as we would have cared for him ourselves.

What impressed us most was that Claire didn't simply supervise our child – she genuinely cared for him. She became an extension of our family for the day, ensuring that he could be part of the wedding when appropriate while also giving him the space and routine he needed.

Looking back, having Claire there allowed us to be present as a bride and groom, while also knowing our son was happy, secure and enjoying the day too. That peace of mind is priceless.

We cannot thank Claire enough and would recommend her without hesitation to any couple looking for wedding childcare. She is an absolute gem.

Fantastic services provided by Claire

Claire has been fantastic with our 1 year old daughter Maja who unfortunately has been really ill on the day. Claire has arrived fully prepared and after a short brief she completely took over Majas care for the day. We knew we needed help on our wedding day but what Claire has done for us was way more than this. She worked extremely hard and catered to our daughter needs. Claire is also very personable and quickly became part of our day with all of our guests commenting on how amazing she was. Our daughter needed to leave the wedding early due to her health and Claire was extremely flexible and got Maja to bed with no issues for grandparents to take over. Having Claire being part of our day was an unforgettable experience and we are so grateful for everything she has done for us. We couldn't have done it without her.
Thank you
Marta and Joel

Great service provided

This service really helped us feel at ease while enjoying my sisters wedding. We felt like our daughter was well looked after and catered for. There was plenty of toys and great attentive care from the two ladies who looked after the kids. They were even able to put my 2 year old down for a nap which she never normally does outside of her normal home environment so that was a real win for us! Would definitely recommend. Thank you again!

Brilliant wedding nanny!

Claire is lovely. Great communication throughout the whole process before our wedding to the very end. Claire and Ellie looked after 3 children at our wedding. The kids all got on well perfectly with them both, settled quickly and Claire even got them playing outside. Claire came prepared with a large bag of toys for them all to play with. Claire has a kind and gentle touch and even kept the children occupied whilst photos were being done outside making sure they didn’t run up to us. We are so lucky we came across Claire when we did, we couldn’t have wished for a better wedding nanny! My sister and sister in law were so happy with yeh service and trusted Claire with their children! I would 100% recommend Claire to anyone wanting a wedding nanny, you will not regret it too. It is well worth it to allow my sister and sister in law to enjoy the day and not worry about where the little ones would be.

Thank you Claire and Ellie!!

Highly recommend!

My children age 6 and 3 had a brilliant time with Claire at their uncles wedding! From the get go, she was engaging and friendly with lots of games, crafts and toys for them to do. We were super lucky with the weather so we spotted them picking flowers in the long grass while we were having photos done amongst other things.

Both kids said they had so much fun throughout the day with Claire and were talking about it throughout the evening.

Would definitely book her again if ever needed and highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking her.

Amazing with our baby

Claire was absolutely amazing. She looked our 5 month old for the entirety of our wedding day and we didn’t have to worry about a thing all day. Claire was incredibly diligent and wanted to make sure she followed his routine perfectly and we trusted her implicitly. Our older kids loved her too and she went above and beyond by engaging with and entertaining them too. Claire is extremely professional, easy to engage with and you can tell she loves her job, which makes it even more special. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Claire if you are getting married and have a baby or young child - she took away all of the stress.

Simply amazing!

We hired Claire for our wedding to look after our 5.5 month old. Claire was really responsive to every communication, answering any questions we had promptly. Came to the day really prepared and was so attentive to our little one. We can't thank her enough and felt so well looked after as a family

Exceptional care that let me truly enjoy my daughter's wedding.

Claire was an absolutely wonderful wedding nanny. She was flexible with everything I required and had such a laid back, calm manner. My foster son, who can be quite challenging, bonded with her immediately, which says everything. Although he had an option to be with the wedding party, he chose to stay with Claire - a real testament to how safe and comfortable she made him feel.
Because of this, I was able to fully relax and enjoy my daughter's wedding, knowing that my boy was being so well looked after. The other children loved Claire too. A huge thank you as well to Chloe for all her support. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

The most perfect solution to creating a stress free, happy day!

From the moment she arrived, Claire, our wedding nanny was absolutely incredible. She was calm, kind and completely reassuring, which instantly put us at ease. Our little girl engaged with her so well, which says everything - she felt safe, happy and comfortable throughout the day.

She was always on hand without ever being intrusive, anticipating what was needed before we even had to ask. Because of her, we were able to truly relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding day, knowing our daughter was being so well cared for.

She made the entire day completely stress-free, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone - she was perfect in every way.

Excellent wedding nanny

We chose Claire to look after our little girl during our wedding party as all our family and friends were in attendance at the event. We had a visit beforehand and my little girl was so comfortable with her, which was great. Claire brought lots of toys with her on the day of the event and my little girl had lots of fun. I would recommend Claire to anyone needing a little help at their wedding, as we felt we could relax knowing our little girl was in safe hands.

Worth every penny!

After our meet & greet session earlier in the month, Claire arrived at my wedding reception armed with toys suitable for my daughter’s age (2-3years)ready to keep her entertained. Claire was absolutely brilliant and my daughter really took a shine to her, so much so that L refused to say good night to me and my husband when she decided it was bedtime! We cannot recommend Claire as a wedding nanny enough

The best investment in our big day!

Claire looked after our baby and toddler during our wedding day and did the best job. We didn’t have to worry about the girls at all, knowing they were in such great hands. They had a fantastic day, full of toys and crafts and the very best care. I can’t recommend her enough so if you’re planning a wedding with little ones present, you really will be forever thankful for having Claire there!

100% best wedding nanny out there!!

THE BEST WEDDING NANNY!!

We hired Claire to care for our little girl during our wedding day, and we couldn't have been more pleased!!
We hired her for 6 hours in the evening from 6 to Midnight for our wedding at Hazlewood Castle in Leeds.

She arrived fully prepped with a bag of toys and ready to give baby M ( she is 10 months old) all the cuddles and attention she needed. Claire helped us out with some last minute photos before the first dance, encouraging baby M to wave at the photographers with a penguin plush and give her lots of cuddles for the couples shoot.

She took M to play with some toys in the reception room whilst waiting for the evening to begin. Baby M was initially going to join our first dance but she needed her sleep and Claire was amazing at making sure Baby M got exactly what she needed when she needed it. She fell asleep shortly after going upstairs. Claire even went above and beyond and washed and prepped her bottles for us whilst Baby M slept which we didn't expect at all and made sure that when she woke in the night she got lots of cuddles and comfort.

When we headed up to bed ourselves we got a full breakdown of the evening and how baby M was doing which really helped us feel at ease.

Claire is absolutely fantastic and made sure Baby M was happily playing and taking care of her bedtime routine perfectly.

Thank you so so much for being a part of our special day!! 100% would recommend Claire to care of any littles. ♥️♥️
