We booked Debbie as our wedding nanny through Hitched for our wedding at the Roslin Beach Hotel on 1st August 2026, and we honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. From the very beginning, Debbie was so professional and reassuring. We had a FaceTime call with her before the wedding, which immediately put us at ease. She took the time to introduce herself, tell us about her experience and get to know us and our children. She was also incredibly flexible throughout the whole day and completely understood that we wanted our children to be as involved in the wedding as possible. Our son Harry was 2 years old on our wedding day and is not speaking yet, so we were particularly anxious about leaving him with someone new. Debbie was absolutely amazing with him. She was so patient, gentle and hands-on, allowing Harry to lead and following his cues rather than expecting him to fit into a particular routine. She brought lots of toys and activities for him, which he loved. Debbie kept a close eye on Harry throughout the day and made sure he was safe at all times, especially in a busy hotel and wedding environment. She took him for his naps, walked around the venue with him in his pram, changed his nappies, fed him, kept him clean and even changed him into his wedding suit. She was constantly making sure he was happy, comfortable and included in the day. She even WhatsApp’d me photos of Harry throughout the morning of our wedding while I was getting ready so I could see how happy he was. She also looked after our daughter Maddison, who was 4, and brought her a lovely colouring book, stickers and activities to keep her entertained. Maddison had older cousins to play with for most of the day, so she didn’t need as much nanny care, but it was so thoughtful of Debbie to bring things especially for her. One of the biggest things we appreciated was how flexible Debbie was. She really allowed us and the children to lead the day and fitted herself around what we wanted. This meant we could enjoy our wedding knowing that Harry was being looked after properly, without feeling like we were missing out on having him with us. Later in the evening, around 8pm, Debbie took Harry up to our hotel room and got him settled and into bed. She stayed with him until my father-in-law was able to take over, which gave us such peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy the evening celebrations knowing he was safe and settled. Debbie went above and beyond for us and was such a calm, caring and reassuring presence throughout the entire day. She completely understood how important it was to us that Harry was part of our wedding, while also making sure he was happy and safe. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Debbie to any other couple looking for a wedding nanny. She was absolutely brilliant from start to finish and we are so grateful that she was there to look after our children on such a special day. Thank you so much, Debbie!

I have used this service for over 4 years and I must say Marie is amazing with children. She keeps them engaged, entertained and cancelled deal with a wide variety of children energy levels. I trust all my children in her care and she delivers the service needed. Arrives on time, has an excellent set up, the children love her and she does it all with a smile. I would recommend her service 100x and will forever use her for my children's events or if I need her service at my own event. It's refreshing when a service provider is so pleasant and has the customer experience at heart, noting the customer in this case comes in pairs, in my case mummy and child.

We couldn’t have been more impressed with the service provided. From the moment she arrived, my children felt completely at ease, which meant so much to us and allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the day. It was clear how much care, thought, and effort had gone into planning the activities — everything was so well organised and perfect for the children’s ages. All of the children were so happy and engaged throughout the day. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding nanny — such an incredible service and truly made a difference to the day ❤️

We hired Ellie’s childcare for our wedding so our adult guests could enjoy the day with us without worrying about the children. The children where thoroughly entertained but Ellie’s childcare they had garden games, activity packs for the wedding breakfast and balloons. Every parent at our wedding commented how lovely it was to enjoy the day, meal and whole experience knowing the children where well taken care of. I recommend Ellie’s childcare for any wedding or event they are brilliant with the kids and every kid thoroughly enjoyed them selfs with Eleanor and the other ladies. Totally professional and so kind and polite. At the end of the day the children where all given a party/snack box provided by Ellie’s which I thought was so lovely of them and unexpected it went down well with the kiddies. Thank you once again.

Thank you so much for your services for our wedding on 28 March at Apton Hall. The girls were absolutely brilliant at looking after the kids! The parents and children have both been raving about what fun they had and how much the parents could switch off and enjoy the day. George and Jessica’s have been telling us all about the fun they had so they felt very comfortable with the girls. Would highly recommend you to anyone who has children at a wedding!
