Last update: May 2026

Wedding Nanny Soft Play and Chaperone is a unique and special Wedding and event business based in Shrewsbury, in the Shropshire region of England. It offers childcare and adult care/chaperone services.

With 20 years of experience in the childcare sector and 10 years in the care of adults with a range of health conditions and disabilities, I have acquired a strong set of skills that allow me to do my job with ease.


My name is Kellie, I am 39 years old. I have a great balance of life experience and professional experience that ensures I am skilled and capable even under pressure. Not much will phase me, I have seen it all, and make no judgements. You can be completely yourselves.

I am a natural with children and will be loved by all on your big day. I am a mother myself which I hope is reassuring to you while making this big decision.

I gather lots of information from you, including about your parenting style, so that I can adjust my approach in a way that compliments your own preferences. I am calm, respectful, and responsive and will follow ques from children and parents.
To entertain the youngest guests, you can hire a soft play set and/or bouncy castle (optional, extra charges apply)

Fully insured, qualified and experienced. Follow the links on my website to see more details of my qualifications and an array of wonderful reviews.

My small amazing team and I can work together for those weddings requiring several Nannie’s, and you have peace of mind that if I am unavailable for whatever reason I’ll have the perfect nanny ready to take my place.


Happy to travel all over the UK and beyond. All questions and queries are welcome!


Here are a few things I can assist with on the day, although I am highly experienced at transferring my skills to a range of individual and specific requirements:
• One-to-one care for your child or shared care as you prefer.
•Small groups of children - sole charge or shared care.
•Discreet hands-off care - only stepping in as required OR fully present and immersed in the day - I can blend in as if I’m a guest; it’s up to you how you would like me to approach the day.
•Companionship or a chaperone for your loved one, young person, elderly or disabled guest; they may or may not require care but would benefit from a ‘go to’ person or friend to be with them during the getting ready/transportation/evening/night/following morning etc.
•I can set up a fun base/area for children to drop in and out of, like a crèche, with soft play, a bouncy castle, toys, and games—lots of options!
•At ‘adult only’ weddings, I can care for children away from the wedding, within the hotel/accommodation/other area on-site/at home, etc.
•Blended approach—Do you have an elderly guest and a baby/child, but you wish you had someone to help support both of them at varying times, but perhaps not for the whole time? I only have one pair of hands, but I’m open-minded about what I can help with; I can go with the flow and redirect my attention to those who need support or follow a planned schedule if required.

Here’s a list of some of my relevant qualifications;

Level 5 postnatal maternity nurse
Cache Level 3 in children's care, learning and development
Cache Level 3 diploma in home based childcare
12hr Paediatric first aid

Best Decision of our wedding

Before our wedding, we were quite hesitant about booking a wedding nanny. As parents, we felt guilty at the thought of handing over some of the responsibility for our son on such an important day and wondered whether it was really necessary. Looking back now, it was one of the best decisions we made. Having someone dedicated to caring for him meant we could fully enjoy every moment of our wedding, knowing he was happy, safe, and having just as much fun as we were.

We cannot recommend Kellie highly enough! From our very first warm-up sessions, she built such a lovely relationship with our son and immediately put us at ease. Seeing how comfortable and happy he was with her before the wedding gave us complete confidence that he was in the best hands.

On the day itself, she blended seamlessly into our celebrations, allowing us to fully enjoy both our church ceremony and evening reception without any stress or worry. She kept our little boy happy, engaged, and entertained throughout the day, while also mingling naturally with our guests and fitting effortlessly into the occasion.

When our son joined us for his meal, she was still on hand to offer support—not only to us, but even to another parent who needed a helping hand. Nothing was ever too much trouble.

Knowing our son was so well cared for allowed us to be fully present for every special moment of our wedding day.

Thank you for helping make our wedding day so relaxed, enjoyable, and memorable. We are incredibly grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend Kellie to any family looking for childcare on their special day.

Can’t recommend enough!!

We had never heard of a wedding nanny before our photographer recommended us Kellie. To which we did debate on having, as we had family willing to help out, but we knew we wouldn’t fully relax.

From start to finish Kellie has been so thorough, professional, patient, kind, caring, warm the list goes on. A few months before the wedding, Kellie travelled far to our home to meet us and go through any questions we had. From the moment we met Kellie she was so relaxed, easy to talk too and put our minds at ease straight away.

On the morning of our wedding, Kellie was quick to be on hand to help with anything I needed. She assisted with making sure bottles were clean and milk was ready on hand. As I breastfeed, Kellie was great in communicating when Evelyn would need a feed and if I would want to breastfeed or give a bottle and I so appreciated this. Although she was only there to take care of Evelyn, she was so lovely and kind to my niece and took both Evelyn and my niece for a walk around the venue to get away from the busy environment the morning of. Before the ceremony, Kellie made sure that Evelyn was dressed and ready to walk down the aisle with my sister.

After the ceremony, Kellie gave me assistance with breastfeeding and helped me with my dress. With so much going on after the ceremony, we could really relax knowing that Evelyn had someone to keep her safe and take her away from a busy environment to have naps and some down time. To which Kellie did a lot of throughout the day.

Kellie made sure that Evelyn had all that she needed throughout the day and kept everything running smoothly - from plenty of nappy changes, comfort, feeds, fresh air and involvement throughout the day. She made notes of this to send us which is so thoughtful and reassuring. She even thought of the little things that I handing thought of.

We hired Kellie for 24 hours which involved an overnight stay. Before taking Evelyn to bed for the evening she made sure to communicate that if there was any issues or Evelyn wasn’t tired she would join back at the wedding. However, by no surprise there was no issues at all. Evelyn was clearly comfortable and relaxed with Kellie. Kellie made sure to bring Evelyn to me in the morning to breastfeed and then take her for fresh air whilst we got ready for the morning before leaving the venue. She was happy to go above and beyond.

Having Kellie there on our day was one of the best decisions we made. She made such a difference to our day/night and I can’t thank her enough. So many of our guests commented on how lovely she was and that they could see how relaxed we were having her there. which again just shows that our decision to have a nanny was the best one. She is incredible, we can’t recommend her more!

Amazing wedding nanny!

We couldn’t recommend Kellie and Naomi more. They were absolutely wonderful - so warm, calm and caring. It gave us such peace of mind knowing the babies were so well looked after, which meant we could properly relax and enjoy the day. We’re so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for wedding childcare.

Best decision ever!

We booked Kellie last minute for our wedding, and looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment she arrived, she was amazing with our little boy. He had the best day and always looked so happy, comfortable, and content in her care, which meant the world to us.

One of our favourite memories from the day was having our little boy join us for part of our first dance. Kellie made that moment happen seamlessly, bringing him over at just the right time and helping create a memory that we’ll cherish forever. It was such a special part of our day, and we’re so grateful for her thoughtfulness and support.

Having Kellie there allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding, knowing our son was safe, happy, and having just as much fun as we were. She went above and beyond throughout the day, and her calm, caring nature made such a difference.

We can’t thank Kellie enough for helping make our wedding day so perfect. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, kind, and genuinely wonderful nanny.

Berwick House - Wedding Nanny

This weekend we had Kellie to look after our 3 month old grand daughter. I cannot recommend Kellie highly enough - she was totally professional and loving. Evie had a great time and really enjoyed the play - even the ball pool !!
I felt so comfortable leaving her with Kellie and i know her parents did too which meant that we could all relax and enjoy ourselves.
If you need any child care for an event i recommend Kellie whole heartedly.

100/10 Nanny

Had the pleasure of working with Kellie this past weekend for a cousin’s wedding. It was our first time leaving our 3 month old in the care of someone other than grandparents and Kellie made us feel so at ease. She was incredibly kind and professional, and she bonded with our little Evie right away. When I came to check in on them, she had Evie smiling and giggling away (a mother’s dream). Kellie also provided a variety of sensory play activities for the wedding day which our little one absolutely loved!! At the end of each night, Kellie gave a summary of the events of the day, including naps, nappy changes, feeds, etc. We did a mixture of bottles and breastfeeding over the day, and Kellie was very flexible with whatever was needed in the moment in terms of feeding requests. If you’re looking for any child care services, would highly recommend Kellie!

Anxious parents dream

As two very anxious parents we were really nervous about leaving our babies with a stranger. Kelli is such a warm, loving presence that the kids took to her instantly. We were able to be out all day knowing they were in the safest hands. We will absolutely use her services again!

Super Nanny 🌟

We really debated hiring a wedding nanny as I’d never even heard of one before, and it felt like an extra wedding expense we hadn’t budgeted for.
Looking back now, I genuinely can’t imagine how our day would have run without Kellie supporting our little boy Theo and his two cousins (aged 2, 3 and 4).

A few months before the wedding, Theo had a cold and I spent an entire weekend chasing after him with tissues — that was the moment I realised I didn’t want to be doing that on our wedding day and made our booking!
Within the first 5 minutes of her arriving, I spotted Kellie pinning Theo down with a tissue - it really made me laugh and I instantly knew she had it covered!

She helped get Theo ready in his little suit alongside Dad, and from then on, just took care of everything.
Before the ceremony, Kellie kept all three children calm and entertained. I honestly wasn’t convinced we’d get them all down the aisle, but it worked perfectly - I’m sure that was down to her magic behind the scenes.

Theo was exhausted during the ceremony, and Kellie took him off for a 2-hour nap straight afterwards. I don’t know how we would have managed that without her, and it meant none of our friends or family had to miss such a big part of our day.
While Theo napped, his cousins were happily entertained with the soft play and ball pit Kellie had brought along. It worked so well - they had the best time, and it kept everything nicely contained in one area.
With so many family and friends around, it’s easy for everyone to assume the children are being watched - and with our venue also being a working farm, it was really important to us to know they were being looked after. Kellie gave us complete peace of mind that she always knew where they were and that they were safe.

When the kids (inevitably!) didn’t want to sit still through the speeches and meal, Kellie stepped straight back in — keeping them entertained with bubbles and toys, while also making sure they each ate something.
Kellie came fully prepared with a little bum bag packed with Theo’s favourite Hot Wheels and bubble blowers, which instantly won him over. She also stepped in whenever he felt overwhelmed, especially when lots of evening guests arrived, which meant we could focus on welcoming everyone properly.

Kellie made sure Theo was part of our first dance, and when he got too tired, she took him off to get changed into his PJs, gave him his inhaler (he has asthma), settled him to sleep and stayed with him until 1am when nanny and grandad could take over.
Hiring a wedding nanny was the decision I debated the most, but without a doubt it made the biggest difference to our day and I’m so glad we found Kellie.

When we talk about “our little wedding day” with Theo, and we list who was there - family, friends - he always adds, “And my friend Kellie!” 😊

Lovely wedding Nanny!

Kellie and team recently looked after a few babies / toddlers at a Wedding I attended. She was great with children of all ages! My toddler seemed content when I popped into the room and was lovely to see the team singing to the babies. Would recommend as I felt at ease.

Fantastic wedding nanny service

Kellie cared for our 8 month old son for 12 hours at a wedding in March 2026. Kellie is professional, friendly and wonderful with children. The communication in the lead up to the wedding and on the day of the wedding was fantastic. This was the first time our baby was in the care of a non family member or friend and it was so important to us that we felt comfortable with who he was being cared by. We could enjoy our evening knowing our son was safe, happy and cared for by Kellie.
Kellie made sure our son was fed his bottles as well as lunch and dinner, ensured his nappies were regularly changed as needed and played with him interactively. Kellie also facilitated his afternoon nap and then successfully completed the bed time routine and sat in our room with our son whilst he slept and until we came up to bed. This was all done on site at the wedding venue and we were able to see our son whenever we we wanted (although we happily left them to it for most of the day knowing how content our son was).

BEST wedding nanny I could have asked for

We would HIGHLY recommend Kellie to be your wedding nanny, we literally could not have had a more relaxed day had it not have been for Kellie.

Kellie I honesty cannot thank you enough, you came and had such a relaxing aura around you that you managed to calm me down at the last minute stressful moments because I knew you were watching out for my daughters during bridal preparation and moving rooms etc. Seren can be a little fussy settling with new people but she took to you straight away, all of the children who attended took to you so well and you were amazing throughout the entire day and evening. SO glad I persisted and booked you, family were able to relax, we were able to relax and our daughters were still very much part of our day yet occupied throughout with you also.

Communication on the booking process, the telephone call, you finding out more info on my daughters, then turning up and being absolutely amazing!!! Could not have wished for better.

Kellie even managed to get our two year old daughter to walk down the aisle taking her time, the video shown below just proves how comforted our little girl was with Kellie a couple of hours in from meeting her!

One of the best purchases I made whilst wedding planning was booking you and the soft play. We loved you, the little ones loved you and you were just phenomenal. The amount of comments I’ve had since saying how brilliant you were is great! Hopefully you’ll have some recommendations for future events now too!

I honestly cannot thank you enough for everything you did!

Best wedding nanny ever!!!

Absolutely amazing wedding nanny!!

We hired Kellie for our wedding day, and she was an absolute lifesaver. From the moment she arrived, she was calm, professional, and so warm with our little one. She instantly put us at ease, and our baby took to her straight away. It meant we could fully relax and enjoy the day knowing he was in the best hands.

She kept everything running smoothly — from feeding and nap times to entertaining and keeping him happy during photos. She even thought of little things we hadn’t, which showed how experienced she is with weddings and children alike.

So many guests commented on how lovely she was, and we honestly couldn’t have managed the day without her. If you’re getting married and wondering whether to hire a wedding nanny — do it, and make sure it’s Kellie! She’s incredible. 💕

Amazing wedding nanny

Kellie was amazing at our wedding on Saturday, she got stuck in straight away and our two boys (1&3 years) took to her instantly. She has such a lovely way with the children I felt at complete ease the whole day, our boys were fully involved in the day and had so much fun! We cannot recommend Kellie more, worth every penny not having to stress or worry about the kids. We also received some gorgeous pictures and videos of the children during the day too that we’re so lovely to see. Thank you so much again Kellie you are amazing 🥹 xxx

Fantastic!

Kellie was amazing on our wedding day. She has such a natural way with children — ours adored her straight away — and it meant we could relax knowing they were safe, happy, and entertained. Nothing seemed to faze her, she was calm, kind, and professional throughout. Having her there made the whole day so much easier and more enjoyable. We can’t recommend her enough.

Absolutely brilliant!

Kellie was an amazing addition to our special day from the moment she got to us until the moment she left. She was flexible, helpful and absolutely incredible with our daughter and her cousins. Our daughter took to Kellie straight away and that was it, she was glued to her for the rest of the day. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt completely at ease and comfortable having Kellie apart of our big day. %1000 recommended and worth every penny. Thanks! 😊
