Our wedding day

We hired Cornwall Childcare for our 9 month old son on our wedding day. We were put into contact with Claire who messaged for information about our son beforehand and was so positive and encouraging that we instantly felt at ease! On the day, Claire arrived and got stuck in straight away! I wasn’t the most organised and was in the middle of having my hair and makeup done so couldn’t give a proper handover but Claire just took it all in her stride and did the most amazing job with him! All of the guests told me throughout the day how amazing Claire was with our son and it just made us feel so relaxed and we could enjoy our big day with no worries! We can’t thank Cornwall childcare and Claire enough!

Myself and my new husband booked Elsie to babysit our 22 month old son on the night of our wedding reception on the 24th October at Knightor Winery, so we could relax and enjoy our celebration without having to worry about him asleep in a pushchair or one of the grandparents missing out. This is without a doubt, the best decision we could've made. Not only did Elsie arrive early and fully prepared with a massive smile on her face but she also took on monitoring another 2 year old whilst he slept in the wedding accommodation (booked last minute). This request didn't cause any extra stress as Elsie was so accommodating. Professional, friendly and a pleasure to speak with. The only downside is that we didn't book her to watch him during the speeches! I will be booking with Cornwall Childcare again - an absolute dream to deal with! Thank you again Elsie

Elsie looked after our son and niece for the evening part and overnight of our wedding. Both were under 1. My sister was insure whether to leave her daughter with a babysitter for the first time however after meeting Elsie she was so impressed that she did and was able to enjoy the evening. Knowing you have an experienced child minder is vital for being able to enjoy your day and she certainly enabled this for us.

We booked Elsie for a friend’s wedding to look after my 14 month old. My husband was on best man duty and we wanted help on the day and a babysitter at night. Elsie is very warm and approachable. She took care to listen to my needs and to find out about my daughter’s routine, eating habits and her personality! During the day it was such a help to have Elsie on hand while I got ready, during the ceremony and speeches. She was great with my daughter and I felt like I could really relax and enjoy the wedding without stressing. I’d definitely use her again and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Excellent childcare service. I used Cornwall Childcare to babysit my 7 month old baby whilst at a wedding. They were easy to communicate with and trust, and relived anxieties I has as had never used a babysitting service before. I would definitely recommend.

We started using Elsie from Cornwall Childcare earlier this year to recommend to our couples and their guests and she already has several bookings with us. She’s very organised, professional, qualified, full insured, flexible and quick to respond to messages. A few weeks ago, she looked after one of the bridal party’s baby daughter for the whole wedding day, evening and right through the night until the next day, and they were absolutely delighted with her work. She even came to meet the clients the day before and get to know the little girl, so she wasn’t a stranger on the day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Elsie to individual clients as well as other venues to add to their supplier list.

“Elsie looked after our 14-month-old daughter for a day while my husband and I attended a wedding in Cornwall. It was our first time leaving her alone together, so I was quite anxious! When Elsie arrived, we chatted for approximately 40 minutes before we left. Our daughter isn’t used to being left with unfamiliar people, but she quickly warmed to Elsie. We got regular updates and pictures throughout the day, which was so reassuring. She follows a strict diet and I had left instructions for Elsie, who didn’t bat an eyelid and followed everything perfectly. We will definitely be getting in touch with Elsie again on our next trip to Cornwall. It was such a fantastic experience. Thank you, Elsie!”
