So brilliant, really made such a difference to our day!

I couldn't praise Safe & Sound Event Childcare enough for their work on our wedding day.

They've been so brilliant from initial enquiry to having a Facetime with owner Stephanie to understand our needs, to the big day itself.

Me and fiance had been unsure whether we needed to book childcare for his two boys at our wedding, they are 5 & 7, but I really felt we would enjoy the day more knowing someone was there who had eyes on them at all times, especially when we got into the evening. Sue, from Safe and Sound was so brilliant and lovely - the boys warmed to her immediately when she arrived and she brought loads of activities and games for them to do. During the afternoon the boys dipped in and out of playing with Sue and spending time with the family, and at all times she just had a watch over them when they were moving between all the different groups. She was a life saver during the wedding breakfast as of course the second they finished their food they wanted to be up and playing, and Sue was there to entertain them. In the evening they surprised us all by staying up all night dancing, when the youngest started to tire Sue looked after him while he slept in the Marquee, and every time I looked over at her I could see she had her eyes on our seven year old, so when he was running around, she just knew exactly where he was. It just made a huge difference to our enjoyment of the day, knowing someone had tabs on them while we were being pulled left right and centre and I thought Sue was such a professional that she totally got the brief and let the boys dictate how they wanted to spend their day. She was also so lovely to talk to and slotted into the day so well, I really couldn't sing her praises enough.

Highly recommend! If you're unsure about childcare for your wedding day, I really suggest a facetime with Stephanie for that initial chat and reassurance - I think we would have had such a different day if we hadn't booked Safe & Sound. Thank you so much to the team!

Amazing wedding creche

Steph and her team were fantastic. We had 30 children so the whole team were needed for our wedding and they were amazing.
The organisation was very efficient and the equipment they provided was amazing. The children all had an amazing time, so much so that they are still talking about it now!

Super nanny


I just wanted to say how amazing Gemma was yesterday with our little Fearne. The best decision of our wedding by far. She was so content and happy with Gemma & absolutely adored her.
Not only did Gemma look after Fearne amazingly all day and evening, she also helped us get some amazing shots by making Fearne laugh hysterically behind the camera.
She was a pleasure to have around and let us relax and enjoy while still keeping Fearne involved. Everyone kept saying to us all day how fantastic she was. She got called the child whisperer quite often!
Thank you so much. We have recommended you to a couple of families with little ones who are planning a wedding.

Amazing service

Janice and Sue were fantastic, it really made all the difference having the stress of parenting taken away from us on our wedding day. The children loved it, they were so happy and had such a great day. I highly recommended Safe and sound to anyone with children getting married! Me and my husband both agreed it was the best money spent on the whole wedding day!!

The children loved it and meant that the adults could enjoy the wedding knowing that the children were in safe hands

Our son is not exactly easy to look after, but they handled him like complete pros, and made
the wedding so enjoyable for us. That they could look after him without drama, even
though for the preceding 3 months he had always been with at least one of us, is pretty
impressive! And he had a great time. Really good communication before, during and after
the event. Great set-up on the day, the children loved it and meant that the adults could
enjoy the wedding knowing that the children were in safe hands. Also, our daughter has
some specific medical issues, and Safe and Sound Events made sure that she had one on
one attention whenever we left her with them. Fantastic service all round. We had friends
from overseas with us who had two small boys, Safe and Sound provided baby sitting in the
lead up to the Wedding and cared for the boys during the day and the Wedding Breakfast.
They were very professional, and the boys were well cared for. I even have lovely drawings
to keep.

The kids enjoyed the brilliant array of toys and activities on offer and parents felt comfortable leaving their little ones for a short time

Steph and her team did a fantastic job looking after the 30! children at our wedding,
providing lots to keep them occupied, yet making sure that they were still very much part of
the day. The kids enjoyed the brilliant array of toys and activities on offer and parents felt
comfortable leaving their little ones for a short time while we had the speeches.
During the meal, all the kids sat together at ‘party tables’, closely supervised by Steph’s
team. By and large the kids loved having their own tables and any minor incidents were
dealt with by the staff brilliantly and without any dramas.
The evening babysitting service also worked well and allowed some of the guests to enjoy
the party to the full without having to worry about their (very tired!) little ones.
Thanks again to your great team for helping to make our day so special.

It was a fantastic day but was made just perfect by the team of Safe and Sound Events

I went to a friend’s wedding and it was the first time my 3 and half year old had ever been
to such an event. It was a fantastic day but was made just perfect by the team of Safe and
Sound Events. My daughter felt immediately comfortable with them and was happy to play
with them and the other children throughout the meal and speeches. They brought each
child to their table for food and took them back to play or outside during the speeches. This
meant they never got bored and we got to enjoy the whole day without stressing about
them behaving at the table etc. They were all super friendly and professional and kept all
the parents informed on how the day would go. My daughter had the best time and myself
and my husband actually got to eat a meal without rushing, finish a conversation and enjoy
a speech without having to sssh an impatient toddler! Thanks again!

All the children were so well cared for and had a wonderful time full of fun and laughter

Thank you so much for your exceptional childcare service provided for our wedding at
Hengrave Hall. All the children were so well cared for and had a wonderful time full of fun
and laughter. Your help with our two children before the service helped make the day as
perfect as it was. I think getting to know the children during this time helped put them at
ease as they were away from all the craziness of the Bridal suite! Our 3 year old son walked
down the aisle alongside our Niece...something we had hoped for but didn’t think for a
second he would actually do!
Perfect day, perfect weather, perfect staff, perfect guests.... just perfect!!
Thank you x

Thank you for making it an even more special day for the kids than it was already!

Absolutely brilliant - I felt very happy leaving my 4 and 6 year old with Stephanie and Chris
at a family wedding. The kids had a blast and could come and go between the meal and
speeches and grown up bits, they made masks, ran around with frisbees, played in teepees
and did everything kids should do! I would thoroughly recommend, particularly as 2 of the 4
children had additional medical and dietary needs and this was all dealt with fantastically.
Thank you for making it an even more special day for the kids than it was already!

The team had a great array of toys and games and some beautiful teepees

Safe and Sound did a great job of looking after my daughter at a recent wedding we
attended. It was great to know she was being looked after, and whilst she did want to come
and see us a couple of times, she was clearly content with the team members, which is of
course a big thing as they were total strangers to her! The team had a great array of toys
and games and some beautiful teepees which tied in perfectly with the stunning grounds of
the venue. Thank you.

Safe and Sound are the only childcare creche we recommend to our clients

Safe and Sound are the only childcare creche we recommend to our clients, as wedding and
event planners we have seen many creche companies however Safe and Sound have been the
only childcare company that we have found so far that we can confidently recommend and
that not just meet but exceed the exceptional standards of safety and care and the
expectations of our clients – RandFWeddings

Caring, fun and above all safe

Stephanie and team are a total joy to work with. They take plenty of care and attention to
make contact with all the parents well in advance of running their wedding crèche which is
incredibly reassuring for those parents entrusting their children to them for the day. Their
team set up super efficiently and quickly and are full of smiles and excitement for their
roles. They have a totally fantastic range of games, toys, and activities for all ages and most
importantly just love giving the children as good a time as the adults in a caring, fun and
above all safe, environment.
Highly recommended where you want to treat children and parents alike to a really superb
wedding experience where everyone is happy.
Thanks so much team. – The Bespoke Wedding Company

After every wedding I always get the parents coming up to me and telling how brilliant they are and what a great time their kids had

I have been working with Steph and the team from Safe and Sound Events for a few years
now. They are amazing at what they do. After every wedding I always get the parents
coming up to me and telling how brilliant they are and what a great time their kids had.
That’s testimony in itself.
I wouldn’t even suggest anyone else to look after the children on my weddings. They are the
best.

We could talk to everybody at our wedding and most importantly relax

A BIG THANK YOU to you and your amazing team.
You basically made our day!!
I’m not exaggerating. We didn’t change a single nappy, warm any milk or even put our kids
to bed! It meant we could talk to everybody at our wedding and most importantly relax...
Your creche service just took away all the hassle and stress from our day.

Thank you for all the fun outdoor activities and personal care that you showed all the
children...
