Highly recommend!

We couldn't recommend Faye more. We booked Faye to help look after our boys 2 & 4 for my brother's wedding. She was fantastic from start to finish and we felt so reassured leaving the boys in her care. They had a great time with her and talked about her the next day! Thank you very much Faye.

Friendly, professional and great value for money

We were so grateful to have Faye looking after the children at our wedding. From the moment she arrived, she was professional, kind, and incredibly engaging with all the children. She kept them entertained, happy, and safe throughout the day, allowing parents to relax and enjoy the celebrations. The children absolutely loved her, and several parents commented on how wonderful she was. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for weddings or any childcare role. Thank you for helping make our day so special!

Amazing childcare service for wedding

Faye was amazing. She had a five year old, a four year old and 2 x two year olds to contend with and managed them all in a brilliantly engaging and supremely confident way. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Faye to look after our children again. A real life Mary Poppins! Fabulous service.

Simply amazing - highly recommend

On the day of our wedding Faye looked after our 8-month-old little girl the whole day and evening – taking care of literally everything for her. From feeding, to changes of clothes (and of course nappies!), to nap schedules, travel between venues, time out when it all got too much, and taking care of bedtime etc.

It was a total load off our mind - our little girl was well cared for, super happy and relaxed and still very much a big part of our day! Not something that would have been very easy for us, or even family members to achieve, with the timings and general chaos that comes with a wedding day!

Faye went above and beyond – she was unbelievably helpful, mixed in well with our family and friends and was amazing with the photographer, ensuring our little girl was in the right place at the right time - with the biggest smile too!

We cannot recommend Faye highly enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
