About

Bells&Bunting Event Childcare is a childcare service based in the South West of England, that would love to welcome your little ones into their care for weddings and special occasions. Dedicated to keeping the younger guests happy and safe for the duration of your celebration, our team will allow the adults to have some freedom, knowing their children are in the hands of qualified professionals.

Bells&Bunting Childcare was founded by sisters Rebecca and Victoria, who have been working in the childcare industry for many years (and still do!). Highly experienced childcare professionals; most importantly, they share a love for caring for and providing little ones and young children with lots of fun, playful and magical experiences. They have been providing creches, childcare and nannying services to clients, events, couples and their guests at a number of exclusive wedding venues and private properties in Somerset and Devon since they began.

Wanting to invite the little ones in your life is completely natural, however, the excitement of the day may at times become a little overwhelming. With the expertise and care of the Bells&Bunting Event Childcare team, there will be extra hands and eyes on deck to keep the young guests entertained while the adults listen out for the speeches, catch up with friends, and dance on the floor until dark. A child-friendly space can even be set up in your venue with activities and games that will delight the little ones all day long.

What we offer:

  • Your very own wedding nanny/nannies on hand to care for, supervise, feed, change, and entertain any little ones they're in charge of.
  • Children's activity packs and mini set-ups with toys, resources, and activities included that your little guests will love!
  • Full Creche service. A dedicated area/room for children dressed with toys, games, fancy dress, props, themed play tents, arts and crafts, and soft play. The designated space can be transformed into a "night-time" retreat with wind-down activities and snuggly furnishings so the children can rest.
  • Babysitting in on-site or nearby accommodation so grown-ups can celebrate a little longer into the night.

Every big day or event is unique. Thus, we pride ourselves in using our experience and knowledge within our field, to tailor the services that we can offer to each couple, family or clients individual childcare requirements whilst, always ensuring high standards and professionalism remains at the forefront of what we do. Just like every client and their event is unique likewise, the cohort of children we are looking after at the event is too. Recognizing and catering to the individual ages, needs, and interests of each child is important to us and demonstrates our dedication and excellence. Our overall priority, establishing a safe and secure environment where parents feel comfortable, children feel comfortable and where we can foster warmth and joy for every child.

Led by Rebecca and Victoria, who, combined, hold an extensive amount of experience and qualifications in childcare and full DBS checks, paediatric first aid qualifications, safeguarding, and public liability insurance. Plus, several more qualifications in child development, play, children's wellbeing, and the performing arts! They have all the skills you could wish for to become one of the play people and a co-adventurer for the day, so the children have as much fun at an event as their parents/guardians can, knowing their children remain safe and happy.

Promising to be there from start to finish, from the first enquiry to the main event, the sister duo will not only help plan the perfect childcare package but deliver the care on the day!

Bells&Bunting Childcare covers venues right across the South West of England. As we align ourselves with Ofsted's staffing ratio requirements, the overall price will depend on the age and number of children, the number of nannies needed, and the service and package you select.

Fantastic :)

We chose Bells & Bunting child care for our anniversary party to help with creating a children's play area. Both Rebecca and Victoria were fantastic with all the children and I am so happy we chose them for our event - it was perfect. The play stations were so creative and used by all children and kept them entertained for the day. There were also stations where children could relax when tired. I would 100% recommend :)

Incredible

Victoria looked after my nearly 3 year old during my sisters wedding. Throughout the process she has been professional and responsive to any questions or queries, making sure that she knows my sons likes and dislikes, his routine and my preferences.
During the day she spent the day looking after my son and supported him in the activities that he wanted to do, he was instantly happy and comfortable with her and he didn't look back! Victoria made me feel at ease and she's a magician being able to get him to sleep!
I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone, the best nanny ever

Best Wedding childcare!

We used bells and bunting to run a children's crèche at our recent wedding this September. Victoria was extremely helpful and responsive to all of my long emails and questions. We did quite alot of planning together of how/where and when the crèche would run at our wedding. They were very flexible and understanding - happy to cater to everything that we wanted. Not only this but we also organised victoria to look after Teddy our two year old for 24 hours during our wedding. This was amazing and meant that we could enjoy our day to the fullest. Victoria became one of the family and Ted was so happy with her. We did a meet&greet and day of childcare before the wedding and organised a detailed care plan which gave us reassurance that Ted would be happy whilst away from us. The crèche was great on the day and all the children loved being able to dip in and out - as did the parents. Bells and bunting provided a care plan link for all parents to fill in as well as information about them and their qualifications. I literally couldn't fault the service and it was one of the best things that we chose to do on our big day. The pricing was clear and reasonable. Thank you Vicky and team! Alison,Dave and Teddy! X

Amazing! 10 stars if I could.

Victoria at Bells and Bunting was absolutely amazing. We booked Victoria to look after our three children (1,4,6) whilst we attended a family wedding in Somerset. I was really anxious about leaving all three kids for such a long time with someone we hadn't met before and away from home but as soon as Victoria walked in the door I felt at ease. The kids loved her and had a fantastic time. Victoria's service was warm, friendly but also very professional with a really detailed handover. We were able to relax and enjoy the wedding without worry. So grateful for her and would recommend to anyone.

Incredible, cannot recommend enough! 🌟

Cannot recommend Bells & Bunting Childcare enough! 🌟 We just wanted to say the biggest thank you to Rebecca for looking after our darling baby E on our wedding day 🥰 it meant than we were able to relax and enjoy our day, knowing that all of her needs were being met from the moment we met with Rebecca until the evening ended 💃 We feel so lucky to have had her as part of our special day, and felt she was exceptional in what she does. I felt immediately comfortable with her, and family and friends commented on how skilled she was and how it was a brilliant idea to have her with us. We cannot recommend her enough to others 🌟 We only wished we lived nearer by so we could have E go to her nursery when its open, and those that are able are so so fortunate. Ourselves and family and friends will certainly recommend to others when opportunities arise too. Thanks so much again! ❤️ xx

Wedding nanny for three children

Victoria was very kind and caring towards the children. I was unsure if my 2 year old would settle with a stranger but he did instantly. Victoria was flexible throughout the day and made the whole experience fun for the children. We were worried about them missing out on the wedding fun, but actually they were having such a good time inside with Victoria they were happy. It was nice to relax knowing the children were happy and safe.
Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic from start to finish

Rebecca and Victoria are absolutely fantastic. My sister recently had them attend her wedding as childcare and entertainment for our children. From the moment they arrived they were so lovely and the kids immediately felt comfortable with them, we were so shocked how easily they settled, they kept the kids entertained and safe throughout the whole day, whilst still allowing them to be part of the wedding, ensuring they were around for photos, and able to enjoy time with the family when they wished to. Lots of comments were made by guests about how fantastic they were, and what a fabulous idea to have at the wedding, all the adults were able to enjoy all parts of the wedding knowing the children were safe and happy. The venue itself also commented on how fantastic they were and one they would now recommend. Thank you so much for making the day so easy flowing and enjoyable for the kids. You were fantastic from start to finish.

Outstanding

We traveled to Yeovil for a wedding in June 2024 from the United Stated with our 11-month-old. I was very nervous initially to leave our little one for a few hours in a new country but need not have worried. The Bells and Bunting team connected with me multiple times before we arrived to learn more about our needs and wishes for childcare. When I met Rebecca in person, she was so kind and caring. She was flexible with schedule and took great care of my little one. It made the wedding so much more enjoyable knowing my baby was with someone I could trust. I highly recommend Bells and Bunting services!

Wedding Nanny for my little boy

Victoria provided a nanny service for my little boy while I attended a wedding in Somerset. When Victoria arrived, she instantly engaged with him and sat down to play with him and his toys. I felt so comfortable leaving him with her, and I knew he would be fine and well cared for! 
The venue was a little way from the house where they stayed, but Victoria sent me a little update along with a photo of him before bedtime. This was so lovely to receive and helped me enjoy the evening events without worry. I really can't thank Victoria enough! I will definitely be turning to Bells & Bunting Childcare again should I attend another wedding in the South West. 

Thank you! X

Amazing, just perfect!

Bells & bunting childcare are absolutely amazing! What a God send! Our 3 kids enjoyed it so much they still ask now when they can go back to their ‘club’! They were so well cared for and had so much fun! ☺ Anytime there was a question over something they came and asked us, or if they weren’t sure if we needed the kids back at any stage. But the kids were having so much fun and were so well looked after they didn’t want to come back to us! Even my youngest who is only 2 and can usually be described as my shadow had a great time and was content without me being there! Every time we saw them they all had huge smiles on their faces and there’s no doubt that Bells and Bunting did a super fantastic job. Definitely highly recommended.

Amazing childcare at family wedding!

Rebecca from Bells & Bunting was absolutely amazing with my daughter age 2 & the brides daughter age 2. They had the best time playing!
Rebecca made the wedding more enjoyable for us parents as we knew there was another pair of eyes on our daughters & there were smiles & laughter the whole day.
Then the evening Rebecca stayed with them, watching a film while they chilled out and eventually fell asleep!

A great help at the wedding!
Thank you so much

Can’t thank you enough!

For my wedding a few days ago I wanted childcare for my two boys aged nearly 4 and 2. After looking around and speaking to a few different childcare providers I decided to go with Bells & Bunting and it was the best choice! Rebecca came to our home to meet our boys to get to know them so she wasn’t a stranger on the day and got to know all their likes and dislikes and routines etc. My eldest son has autism, which is why we went for more of a 1:1 option, to make sure he was safe and having fun whilst family could enjoy themselves knowing he was in safe hands, Rebecca also helped with the youngest when needed. Turned out the youngest needed more looking after than the eldest when he had a HUGE meltdown just about to go down the aisle 🫣 Rebecca was so calm and upbeat she took him off so we could enjoy the ceremony and he could calm down. Looked after nap times and bed times and was generally great. My eldest is a little whirlwind always on the go, and Rebecca dealt with him amazingly, letting him run about and have fun whilst being safe, which is exactly what we wanted. I 10000% recommend getting a wedding day babysitter especially as parents because we didn’t have to worry once if the children were safe or being looked after, which allowed us and our boys to fully enjoy the day. Bells & Bunting I can’t thank you enough, our day was perfect. Will definitely use again for future events! 5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
