Children need constant attention. Uncontained running around and screaming could very well ruin an important occasion. It is quite understandable why organisers would opt for a child-free event, yet many parents may have to miss out or leave their children behind during important occasions and events. When little ones are regarded as equally important guests, OzoCare can step in to provide them with just what they need, so that children have fun while adults enjoy the event undisturbed.
An events childminding service you can trust
OzoCare events childminding service
As part of its care-giving services, OzoCare offers professional, reliable and trustworthy childminding services at all kinds of events. A childminding service directly at the events venue ensures hosts and guests can relax and enjoy the occasion knowing their children are being well looked after.
The nannies
Nannies are individually screened, hand-picked and professionally-trained to care for and entertain children of all ages in a variety of settings, and they also know how to act in case of an emergency. Tailor-made childminding and entertainment packages are available to suit the client’s requirements, and include feeding and putting children to sleep.
OzoCare childminders come equipped with crafts, toys and games to keep the little ones happily engaged.
The children
There is no limit to the ages OzoCare can cater for, from newborns right up to pre-teens. While there is a recommended legal ratio regarding the number of children per nanny, depending on the children’s ages, we recommend hiring extra childminders to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible at the event. The legal recommendations are as follows:
- 1 nanny to every 3 children aged 0 to 12 months.
- 1 nanny to every 5 children aged 12 to 24 months.
- 1 nanny to every 6 children aged 24 to 36 months.
Childminding and children’s entertainment
OzoCare childminders come equipped with crafts, toys and games to keep the little ones happily engaged. A relaxing area for tired children, including cushions, bean bags and cots; a feeding and changing station; and a TV and DVD player are all included in the price. Furthermore, for an extra fee, the following can be provided:
- Bouncy castle.
- Sumo suits.
- Space carousel.
- Trampoline.
- Mascots.
- Face painting and glitter tattoos.
- Hot dog stand.
- Crepe stand.
- Candy floss and popcorn stand.
- Sweetie table.
Guests who are parents will enjoy the feeling that their whole family is welcome and the presence of children can be enjoyed by all.
Weddings with children
OzoCare can take on a supportive role or take full charge of children at a wedding or any special occasion or event, ensuring that they are in safe hands and having a good time too. The service may include:
- Meeting with the bride and groom before the wedding to ascertain the childminding requirements and the level of involvement required of a nanny.
- Attending to children at home while the bride is getting dressed for the occasion.
- Assisting with bathing and dressing children in preparation for the occasion.
- Keeping the children quietly entertained during the ceremony.
- Supervising, caring for and entertaining the children of the bride and groom and their guests at the reception.
The children of the bride and groom
When couples with children are getting married, the happy couple can focus on themselves and their special day by getting child-care assistance leading up to and on their special day. The nannies will be involved just as much as the bride and groom desire, and will work closely with them to ensure that the children are part of the wedding celebration without becoming an encumbrance.
The children of wedding guests
A wedding celebration feels more complete when all the family is present, including the little ones. Guests who are parents will enjoy the feeling that their whole family is welcome and the presence of children can be enjoyed by all. These little ones will not become bored or cause a disturbance, because a little part of the celebration is designed especially for them.
