Wedding Nanny Prices in Essex

Wedding childcare is priced by the hour, and the right package depends on how many children will be at your wedding and the level of care they need. At Essex Wedding Nanny our packages start from £40 per hour for dedicated 1 to 1 care, £80 per hour for two nannies looking after a small group, and £120 per hour for a creche-style setup with three nannies for larger parties.

Every package includes a complimentary video call, a discreet uniform, and age-appropriate crafts, games and quiet activities. Our service is graded Outstanding by Ofsted and every nanny is DBS-checked, so you are never trading price against safety.

The total cost of your wedding day childcare depends on the hours you book. Some couples want cover for the ceremony and wedding breakfast only, while others book from morning preparations through to the evening reception. We confirm an exact quote after your complimentary video call, once we understand the ages of the children and the shape of your day.

Real stories from Clients who trusted us as childminders

Charlotte creates a calm, nurturing, hugely welcoming environment for babies, toddlers and children of all ages. I've been so impressed with the activities she lays on, her relaxed, can-do attitude and the whole way she approaches childminding. Both of my children absolutely loved spending time with Charlotte, and struggle with leaving as they enjoy themselves so much while under her care. I feel extremely lucky that she came into our lives - and I know my children feel the same way. Thank you, Charlotte!

Jodie Halford Mum

I was initially quite nervous about leaving my 6-month-old daughter with a childminder, given how young she is. However, from the moment we first met Charlotte, my concerns were quickly put to rest. Charlotte created an environment where my daughter felt comfortable and secure right from the start. Her warm and welcoming demeanor instantly reassured both me and my little one. What truly stands out about Charlotte is her flexibility and attentiveness. She has been incredibly accommodating in following my daughter's schedule and has been a great help with the weaning process. Charlotte has thoughtfully adapted her setting to cater to the needs of a young baby, ensuring that it’s both safe and nurturing.

Jess Mattock Mum

My son absolutely loves coming to Charlotte and her setting! He is always happy and excited to spend the day with her and his friends. Charlotte is caring, supportive and offers a home-from-home environment. The communication has been amazing since he started and he is thriving in a fun and educational environment! X

Gemma Pavitt Mum

Charlotte is absolutely incredible with my son, she is creative and patient and my son adores her. He was waiting on my doorstep 45 minutes before we needed to leave just because he was so excited to see her. Her setting is friendly and welcoming and just like a home from home so my son feels confident and safe to be himself and thrive whilst in Charlotte's care. If I could rate more than 10/10 I absolutely would.

Nic Lawrence Mum

My Daughter told me she had a great time when I picked her up and she’s asked me almost everyday since when she is going back as she enjoyed it so much! Charlotte is very friendly and makes you feel so comfortable and the setting is brilliantly laid out with a mix of educational and imaginative play options. Highly recommend!

A little guide to make your planning easier.

Our packages start from £40 per hour for 1 to 1 care of up to three children under five (Bronze), £80 per hour for two nannies caring for a small group (Silver), and £120 per hour for a creche-style facility with three nannies (Gold). Your total cost depends on the package and the number of hours you book.

All packages include a complimentary video call to understand your children's needs, a discreet uniform, and age-appropriate crafts, games and activities. There is no extra charge for the video call.

The three main factors are the number of children, their ages, and the number of hours you need cover. Babies and toddlers need a higher ratio of 1 to 1 attention, while larger groups of older children suit a creche-style setup. We discuss all of this on the video call and agree the right staffing level before we confirm your quote.

It varies with the shape of the day. Some couples book cover for the ceremony and wedding breakfast, while others want childcare from the morning through to the evening reception. We tailor the booking to your timeline rather than setting a fixed minimum, so tell us your plans and we will recommend the right cover.

Yes. A booking fee secures your wedding date once we have confirmed availability and agreed your package. Popular summer dates fill quickly, so we recommend booking as soon as your venue is confirmed.

Parents consistently tell us it is one of the best investments of the day. It means children stay part of the celebration while being properly supervised, parents and grandparents can be fully present, and the day runs more calmly for everyone. With care graded Outstanding by Ofsted, you also have complete peace of mind about who is looking after your children.
