Event & Special Occasion Childcare

Childcare Support for Special Occasions

Special occasions are meant to be enjoyed, but looking after children at the same time can make it difficult for parents to be fully present. Our Event & Special Occasion Childcare provides dedicated childcare support for families attending weddings, celebrations, parties, family gatherings and other important occasions.

Having childcare arranged for an event means parents can focus on the occasion while their children receive attentive care throughout the agreed period. Support can include supervising children, helping with meals and snacks, keeping them engaged with suitable activities and following their usual routines where possible.

Every event is different, so we can discuss the location, timing, number and ages of the children and the type of support you need. Whether childcare is required for part of an event or for several hours, the arrangement can be planned around your occasion.

For parents, this can make attending a special event much easier. Instead of constantly balancing childcare with conversations, activities and commitments at the event, you can have dedicated support focused on your children while you enjoy the occasion.

What Our Event & Special Occasion Childcare Includes

Childcare can be arranged around the nature of your event and may include:

  • Event Day Childcare: Caring for children throughout the agreed period while parents attend the occasion.
  • Supervision and Companionship: Keeping children cared for and engaged during the event.
  • Meals and Snacks: Supporting children’s usual meal and snack routines during the agreed hours.
  • Suitable Activities: Providing age appropriate activities to keep children occupied and comfortable.
  • Routine Support: Helping children maintain familiar routines where these form part of the childcare arrangement.
  • Support for Multiple Children: Providing childcare support where several children from the family require care.
