The best decision we ever made.

I will never be able to express how incredibly grateful both me and my wife are to Laura who looked after our 22 month year old boy on our wedding day. Honestly, hands down (apart from actually marrying my wife) the single best decision we ever made for our wedding. I actually don't know what we would have done without her. She was everything and more. She was wonderfully kind, attentive, caring, considerate and absolutely everything you could have ever hoped for. If I am ever asked about a wedding again, the one thing and one person I will always reccomend is a nanny (and absolutely, Laura).

Thank you for everything. ♥️

The best thing we did for our wedding!

If you have small children like us, or simply have a lot of kids coming, then please please do yourself a favor and book Laura and her team for your wedding! They were the most wonderful, warm, caring and most importantly very obviously experienced! They managed to calm down more than a few meltdowns in record time and keep the kids happy while all the parents go to enjoy their meal and evening. The kids loved them, and we couldn’t have been more grateful!!!

The best decision we made

From originally meeting Laura at a wedding fair to the time she’d finished on the day, everything about Laura and her company was an absolute dream!

The booking process was simple, efficient and completely chill (everything a bride needs!)


We had 16 children at our wedding and laura and her team were set up in the games room downstairs at our venue (Shireburn arms) and came and hung out with the children during the wedding breakfast and looked after them until the evening reception. All of the children had the most fantastic day and they even managed to quickly win over my youngest daughter who is renowned for sticking to my side. Nothing was too much of an ask and when I went down to see the fun I had to stop myself from crying as it was beautiful to see my children and their cousins having what they described as “the best day they’ve ever had in their lives”.

Thank you for everything Laura and team, you were the BEST addition to the day

Best money spent!

Th ladies were absolutely phenomenal. By far our BEST spend, and this was mentioned by many guests, even those without kids! Our daughter is really shy and I was worried that we wouldn’t get much value out of having help as she’d be glued to me but she very quickly settled with the team and I hardly saw her all day, I was shocked. Thank you so much, our day wouldn’t have been as amazing without you there.

The best thing we did at our Wedding!!!

Could not of asked for better!
Laura was amazing with the children!
My youngest (2 yrs) doesn’t take to many people but he absolutely loved her!
She was amazing the whole day!
We were so relaxed and the kids were kept entertained constantly!
The best money we spent on the Wedding honestly could not recommend enough!
We also had the night package and the kids loved their film and teepee tents!
My boys were asking what time Laura would be back the next morning!

Best decision ever!

Laura was one of the absolute best decisions we made for our wedding. She was so enthusiastic yet professional from our very first contact that I knew we wouldn’t be hiring anyone else and we’re so glad we didn’t! From the moment she arrived, she bonded with our 9 month old son, keeping him happy and amused all day, while always being aware of when family and friends might want some ‘baby time’. All our guests assumed that she was previously known to our son as she interacted with him so easily, and were amazed when we explained this was their first time meeting. Hopefully I won’t need to be hiring Laura again for my own wedding any time soon, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others, and we will definitely be calling her again for any future family events. Thanks again Laura, we loved having you as part of our big day!

Fantastic service!!

Laura and Paige were fantastic! They kept 6 children entertained and Happy during our special day meaning we were able to enjoy it without worrying where our little ones were. This is such fabulous idea and I would highly recommend anyone getting married who has children to hire Laura - you need her!!

An absolute must have!

Laura was the BEST decision we ever made!!!! Our little boy was so well looked after and my husband and I could completely relax and the grandparents could enjoy themselves too. As soon as Laura arrived our boy took to her straight away and the communication in the run up was 10/10! Highly recommend Laura for 1-1 childcare on your special day!

Wow, where do I start…..

This is going to be tough to do in such a small box.
Laura and her team are just incredible. I contacted Laura regarding my wedding long before I was due to get married as I knew she was the best and wanted her to look after our children. Just from the messages she was always responsive and professional and made me feel at ease from the get go, we agreed on a package that suited us and went from there. She came for a play date at our house to meet our children, she was soooooo lovely and they loved her. Then came the wedding day…. She did such an amazing job from the moment she arrived and the children loved seeing her again. She took care of our children like they were her own. She ensured she met all of their needs throughout the day and they were so happy to be with her. She also provided the set up for the wedding breakfast…. The guest children we had ate and then wanted to get straight back to playing with Laura and her team. It was so nice for the guests to also feel relaxed and they also trusted the team with their children. I cannot thank Laura enough for being there and take away some of our mum and dad roles which allowed us to be fully present being husband and wife on our special day x ( I don’t have any pics as yet but when I do I’ll add them 🥰)

Amazing, best decision ever!!

Laura is the most amazing lady! I honestly wouldn't have had the wedding I had without her being there taking great care of my 1 year old little girl. I could relax knowing she was being looked after, she had at the cermoney all the way till late at night and even was with her at the hotel. 100% was the best decision I made booking Laura for my wedding day, thanks so much Laura I'll be forever grateful!!

Could not have enjoyed our night without you

We recently had our wedding and the children's corner looked absolutely beautiful. But, that wasn't all!! Laura was an absolute life saver. We have a 1.5 year old and did not anticipate our little Vinnie not following his usual routine. One call to Laura to ask for a nanny service very last minute and Laura made it happen!! By cancelling her own plans with her hubby she provided the service herself and we cannot thank her enough. Thank you so much Laura, we had the best day / night and that would not have been possible without you ♥️♥️♥️! You are a truly lovely person xx

Fantastic set up for kids and adults alike!

We are so happy to have found Laura and her team at the Wedding Childcare Company. We were expecting to have several tired and jetlagged children attending our wedding so finding a way to keep them entertained and safe was so important to us. Laura was fantastic to work with, from the initial enquiry, all the way through to the big day itself. She checked in with us throughout the planning period and adapted to the inevitable changes with ease. Her offer was so flexible and made sure that the parents and children felt comfortable and catered for on the day. The set up was so good that even some of the adult guests couldn't resist climbing into the teepees too!
On top of it all, Laura was an absolutely wonderful human being, friendly and enthusiastic about everything we spoke to her about. She and the team did an amazing job and I'd highly encourage anyone with kids in attendance at their own wedding to get in touch - you won't be disappointed!

The Best Decision We Could Have Made

Thank you so much to Laura who looked after our 11 month old son on our wedding day and night. I cannot recommend her enough - having Laura meant that non of our family missed out during our wedding due to his schedule. We had a playdate arranged a few weeks before the wedding and our son lit up when he saw her again. Her attentiveness made sure that all his needs were met and she kept in constant contact with my maid of honour letting us know how he was doing. An absolute pleasure to have met you Laura. Thank you for everything.

Best supplier we booked for our wedding

Honestly cannot recommend Laura and Paige more if I tried. Was hands down the best supplier we booked for our whole day. I myself have two very active boys ages 4&6 and Laura was amazing with them both!
Laura brought lots of activities with her, playdoh , colours ect as well as soft play which was a hit with both younger & older children.
Laura swapped numbers with my photographer and would communicate with her and bring the boys for photos when needed and take them back to play once finished.
I can honestly say I didn’t think or worry about the boys for the whole time they was in Laura’s care.

———————-

Paige was booked for my sisters baby , he doesn’t warm to people easy however he loved Paige so much.
I popped my head in at one point and he was laughing and cuddling Paige. Paige got him asleep for naps & bedtime and just gave my sister that time to enjoy the wedding as a guest.

Thank you both.
I really am sad that I don’t have another wedding / event coming up to book them again but if I ever do they will be booked!
I have recommended you both to my friends who are looking at getting married also over the next few years so hopefully will see you again soon

Lots of love
Becky

Laura made everything relaxed and stress free!

Laura truly is a star and a natural at what she does. I think it’s the longest I’ve spent away from my 5 month old baby and I know she wasn’t far away when she was with Laura but I felt so relaxed knowing she was so happy and relax with her. The whole day was perfect 🥰🥰 and I 100% recommend Laura to anyone getting married! Xx
