Why Our Wedding Nanny Approach Works Better Than a Creche on Your Wedding Day

When couples begin planning a wedding where children will be present, they are often introduced to the idea of a wedding creche. A dedicated room filled with toys and activities, where children can be entertained whilst the celebration unfolds.

For many weddings this can be a helpful and practical solution. Creches offer an organised space where children can play together under supervision and for some families, this works perfectly well.

But after years of working at weddings, we have learned something very important:

• A wedding day is unlike any other day in a child’s life.

It is louder, longer, more emotional, less predictable, full of unfamiliar faces, disrupted routines and an atmosphere that can feel both exciting and overwhelming all at once.

And no two children experience that in the same way.

Some children are confident and sociable - Others need time to warm up. Some thrive in busy environments - Others feel unsettled by them. Some still nap.

Some rely heavily on routine.

Some are particular with food.

Some need frequent reassurance from a familiar adult to feel secure.

A wedding day does not pause these needs - This is where one-to-one care makes all the difference.

At The Wedding Nanny, we don’t just arrive on the day simply to supervise children. Our work begins long before the wedding. We speak with the parents in detail about their child’s routine, temperament, preferences, comforts and any little nuances that help them feel settled.

Because on a wedding day, those details matter more than ever.

With our wedding nanny service, each child has a dedicated and highly experienced professional whose entire focus is solely on them! Someone who can recognise the early signs of tiredness before it turns into overwhelm. Someone who knows when a child needs quiet time, fresh air, food, distraction, or simply a calm voice and a reassuring presence.

Their schedule doesn’t need to fit around a group.

Their care is built entirely around them.

But it’s not just about meeting needs - it’s about inclusion and connection. With one-to-one care, children are fully integrated into the wedding day. They share special moments with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins - family members who may not have seen them for a long time. They participate in the day in ways that feel joyful and natural, creating memories that parents and children alike will cherish.

Over time, we have seen how much this changes the experience not only for the child, but for the parents too.

Parents are not checking in. They are not being called away repeatedly. They are not worrying how their child is coping in a busy room.

They are free to be fully present in their wedding day, knowing their child is not only safe, but emotionally supported, understood and genuinely content.

A wedding creche provides supervision and entertainment for groups of children.

A wedding nanny provides responsive, intuitive care designed around one unique child, on a day that can feel very big for them.

Both have their place.

But for families who want their children to experience the wedding day with comfort, confidence and care tailored entirely to their needs, one-to-one support offers something truly special.

At The Wedding Nanny, we believe children deserve to feel just as considered as every other guest. Not simply entertained, but understood.

Not managed, but nurtured.

If you want your child to experience your wedding day joyfully, safely and in a way that respects their individual needs, routine and personality, our private nanny service offers that level of thoughtful, experienced care.
