FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I know if my venue is suitable?
Most venues have an area or a side room where The Wedding Crèche can set up, or if you’re having a marquee, a small side tent will be adequate. If you’re unsure, let us know and we will talk to your venue provider to find the perfect solution.

Are your staff qualified?
Yes – many of our staff hold professional childcare qualifications above the recommended level, while others may be training to attain suitable qualifications. Fifty percent of staff at the event must be suitably qualified to look after children, while all our staff will be police-checked and fully-insured.

Do you provide food?
We find it easier if we concentrate on the children’s activities and your caterers provide simple party food and drinks for the children. We’re more than happy to supervise children’s meals (finger food goes down a treat) while you and your guests enjoy the wedding breakfast. We can, however, provide food if you would prefer – ask us for pricing details.

Can I come and collect my child at any time?
Yes, your guests are free to take their children out of the crèche at any time, although we ask that they follow our procedures for booking children in and out of the crèche to ensure child safety.

How long can you stay for?
As long as you need us. We are here to accommodate all your needs, and are completely flexible with time.

What if we overrun?
We know that things don’t always go to plan, especially when your best man is making the speech of the century and your line-up takes twice as long as expected! When you make a booking with us, we’ll arrange a time for us to arrive and leave, although there may be a possibility that we can stay longer, depending on circumstances. Let us know in good time on the day if you think you might need to extend your crèche hours.

Do we need to provide anything?
Just food and drinks for the little ones (if applicable) and soft drinks for our staff. We’ll provide all the toys and activities to keep the children entertained and out from under your feet. Parents might want to bring their child’s favourite teddy bear or security blanket to help them settle in, but leave everything else up to us!
