Last update: December 2025

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.


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

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! 😊

Amazing help at our wedding

It was fantastic to have Kelly look after some of the smaller children at our wedding in the evening so the parents could enjoy a good boogie! The kids loved her and felt very comfortable.

Massively recommend

Kellie was so great with our 7 month old and the rest of the children at our friend’s wedding! Highly recommend, she was there on hand whenever we needed her and got our children settled to bed whilst we could spend the time with our friends and family. The soft play area was a great addition!

Highly Recommend

We had the pleasure of having Kellie as our wedding nanny for our 6-month-old son, and I couldn’t have been happier. From the moment she arrived, she was calm, kind, and instantly put us at ease. She was so gentle and attentive with him, and I could tell he felt comfortable with her straight away. It gave me such peace of mind on such a big day, knowing he was in such safe and caring hands. I would highly recommend Kellie to any parent looking for professional, trustworthy childcare — she was absolutely wonderful.

Best wedding nanny

We had the absolute privilege of Kellie at our wedding on Friday. She was to look after our 2year old son.

As soon as I saw Kellie at the bridal suite where she was holding Luca who looked happy and content I was over the moon to know that he was settled and that she has instantly made a connection with him.

Throughout the ceremony he was happy to sit but as soon as he had enough Kellie was up with him and distracting him and making it into a fun enjoyable day. The smile on his face each time we saw him made us so happy.

There wasn’t anything too big or small for Kellie to do for our boy. She managed to get him to have a sleep before the dinner and was very helpful at the meal and made sure again he had enough and when he was done she took him to wherever he wanted to be and have a good time.

I’m so happy we chose Kellie to be our wedding nanny it made our day so much easier and relaxed and therefore everyone else could too. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who was thinking of having a wedding nanny. She was everything and more we needed and wanted.

Thank you so much

Wedding Nanny

Kelly acted as a Wedding Nanny and Chaperone for our two children 2 and 6 at our wedding in June 2025.
Quite simply she made us able to enjoy our wedding knowing our children were well taken care of and happy throughout the day.
Kellie was professional and personable from the moment I spoke to her. She asked a lot of questions to really get to know our children and was very flexible to their needs.
Kellie is clearly a natural with children and also has lots of experience looking after them.
My little boy took to her immediately and sat on her lap beautiful in the ceremony and walked around the venue with her happily. She was also able help when my daughter needed some time out during the meal and helped her relaxed and calm down after a busy day.
It was one of the best things we organised for our wedding and would use her again.
A number of our guest also comments how good she was with the kids.

Would highly recommend!

Kellie was absolutely fantastic. Very professional and used her initiative throughout the day. My little boy took to her straight away, and she even managed to get him changed and settled to sleep—a task that’s not always easy! She handled my rowdy family with patience and good humour as the evening went on, and I felt completely confident leaving my son in her care. She clearly has a natural way with children and understands their needs deeply. My son was almost 2 at the time, and Kellie was great at anticipating what he needed.

Although we didn’t use her soft play setup, I was very tempted—it looked absolutely lovely and would be perfect for a wedding. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kellie to anyone looking for professional, trustworthy childcare at an event. She’s brilliant!

What a nanny!

First things first, Kellie is amazing. If you are looking for A Wedding Nanny, you need her. She is extremely professional caring, kind understanding of everything that you require on your big day. We were blown away by the service we received when we booked Kellie. It was quite daunting leaving the children overnight with someone else even though we were in the same house but all of my worries were soon squashed as soon as she arrived on the wedding day. The soft play was an added bonus and something that we couldn’t have done without as we had slightly more children than originally planned and they all loved playing all day. The parents we did have at our wedding were also blown away and couldn’t believe how fantastic Kellie was. If we ever need any childcare at an event again, we will be in touch and booking again!

Superb! Five star Nanny ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kellie took care of our 3 year old daughter on our big day. She also helped take care of our elderly parents. The way she handled their needs while allowing them to be together during the special moments of the day was amazing. It made such a difference and we didn’t need to worry about a thing. Even handled nap time effortlessly. Thank you so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolute must have!

We were absolutely thrilled with Kellie’s level of care and attention to our children, and our guests Children on our wedding day. We booked the bouncy castle and soft play too which made the day perfect for the children and parents. She is such a natural, always one step ahead, and we are so lucky we found her. We will book her again for all of our family weddings and keep in touch. Some nannies need so much direction that it doesn’t end up being that helpful but with Kellie you don’t need to worry about anything like that, she just knows what to do. Thank you so much, best Wedding Nanny ever!!!
