Children

Childrens entertainment

At Hengrave there is a wonderful childrens play room that is kitted out with fun and games for the smallies. 
We have found a wonderful company called All Events Childcare that will be sending some professional Wedding Nursery Nurses who will be able to keep the little ones occupied throughout the day. (All are CRB checked and to ofsted ratios) 
The wedding creche will run from 2pm to 7pm with an option for bedtime babysitting after 7pm.


How will it work?

The team will be ready for 2pm after the ceremony has finished and will have set up some wonderful activities and games outside if the weather permits but inside also.

After meeting you and the children they can keep them entertained throughout the afternoon and evening, with crafts, kiddie photo booth, games, dancing and more!
The children can also have their food picnic style in the playroom if they would prefer to not be sat up at the table during the wedding breakfast.

The wedding creche is entirely optional, so if you would prefer to keep your children with you that is absolutely fine.
The children will all have seats set for them at the tables with their parents so they can sit and eat with you if they would prefer to and can pop in and out as they please. 


Evening babysitting

After 7pm some of the wedding nannies will be staying with us at Hengrave until midnight to offer 'bedtime babysitting' for Russell and some of the other children.
They will be doing a settle down film and will have individual mini airbeds and blankets to get the children all snuggled up, If you are staying at Hengrave, this can be done in your room instead so you don't need to move them later.

If you would like them to continue with your child after 7pm please let me know asap and I can let you know the cost of this, I expect it to be around £25-30 per child.
