Thoughtful childcare for Harlow weddings, from intimate ceremonies in town to country house celebrations in the villages along the Stort valley.
Harlow sits between a planned town and open countryside, and weddings here can feel quite different from one another. I adapt to your setting, whether that means garden games outdoors, a calm craft table in a function room or a gentle walk for a baby who needs a nap.
1 to 1 or small group care so children feel safe, settled and included
engaging books, games and creative activities
keeping children calm, comfortable and happy
allowing parents to enjoy the reception without worry
Harlow was designed with green space at its heart, and many couples who marry here want a day that feels relaxed and close to nature. When children are part of that day, a wedding nanny Harlow families can trust helps everything stay calm. We look after the youngest guests from the ceremony onwards, so parents can join in fully without one eye always on the door.
Weddings around Harlow range from small register ceremonies to whole weekends at a country estate. Venues such as That Amazing Place in Old Harlow, Down Hall at Hatfield Heath, The Gibberd Garden on Marsh Lane, Moot House at The Stow and Gaynes Park near Epping are all places where couples marry or celebrate, and where we can provide wedding childcare. Some have lakes, ponds or open grounds, so we plan supervision with care and agree safe play areas with you beforehand.
We cover Harlow town, Old Harlow and the villages close by, including Sheering, Matching, Hatfield Heath, Roydon and Sawbridgeworth just over the Hertfordshire border. Guests often arrive by train at Harlow Town or Harlow Mill, or by car on the M11, and some fly in through Stansted. After a long journey a child may simply need a quiet corner and a familiar routine, which is exactly what a registered childminder can offer. We plan around travel times so that care begins when families need it.
Our role covers the whole shape of the day. We can support children through the ceremony, run a pop up play and crafts area during the drinks reception, and supervise them while the meal is served and the speeches are made. When evening comes, we help little ones wind down with stories and quiet activities.
For bigger gatherings we can set up a wedding creche in Harlow with games, crafts and a rest area, staffed by two or three nannies. Smaller weddings may only need 1 to 1 care for a baby or toddler. Our wedding nanny prices page explains each package and what affects the cost.
If you are marrying elsewhere in the county, we also offer a wedding nanny in Chelmsford and a wedding nanny in Brentwood. Harlow is part of our wider wedding nanny service across Essex, so wherever your celebration takes you, the care your guests receive stays just as gentle and reliable.
Whether you are planning a garden reception in Old Harlow or a country house wedding nearby, we will keep the children safe and smiling. Check availability for your wedding date.
Harlow weddings come in all shapes and sizes, from a handful of guests to a large family party. Our three packages can be tailored to your children, venue and timings, and we will send you a quote.

I am an Ofsted registered childminder graded Outstanding, and I treat every wedding as a day when parents need total peace of mind. Whether your Harlow celebration is small or grand, I give each child patient, personal attention they can feel.
Behind the smiles sit enhanced DBS checks, Paediatric First Aid certification and training in safeguarding and the EYFS, so you know care is in safe hands.
Yes. We can look after children at venues around Harlow, including That Amazing Place in Old Harlow, Down Hall at Hatfield Heath, The Gibberd Garden, Moot House and Gaynes Park. We talk through the venue layout with you first so we can plan safe spaces for play and rest.
Outdoor receptions are lovely, but open grounds and water need care. We agree a clear play area with you, keep children within sight at all times, and bring activities that work outside or indoors if the weather changes. Planning this together beforehand keeps everyone relaxed.
We do. Alongside Harlow and Old Harlow, we provide wedding childcare in Sheering, Matching, Hatfield Heath, Roydon and nearby villages, and in Sawbridgeworth across the Hertfordshire border. Share your venue address when you enquire and we will confirm the details.
Small ceremonies are a lovely fit for a wedding nanny in Harlow. With fewer guests, even one restless toddler can feel noticeable, so 1 to 1 care helps the room stay calm while you exchange vows. We can then continue caring for the children at your reception.
Yes, from newborn upwards. Before the day we hold a complimentary video call to learn each child's routine, feeding and sleep needs, and we agree staffing based on ages and numbers so every baby and child is properly looked after.
All packages include a discreet uniform, a video call beforehand and age appropriate crafts, games and quiet activities. Bronze starts from £40 per hour, Silver from £80 per hour with two nannies, and Gold from £120 per hour with three nannies and a creche style setup.
Once your venue is confirmed, it is best to get in touch, particularly for weddings between May and September. A booking fee holds your date. Use the enquiry form on our contact page or call 07364 111079 to start planning.
