Practical Live Training for Aspiring & Existing Wedding & Event Childcare Providers
Wedding & Event Childcare is professional childcare delivered within weddings, celebrations, hospitality settings, corporate events and other occasions where parents need dedicated childcare while they participate in the event around them.
Unlike childcare delivered in a family home or traditional childcare setting, event childcare takes place within busy, unfamiliar environments where timings, venues, different age groups, large numbers of adults and changing circumstances all need to be managed professionally.
The KL Childcare Academy Wedding & Event Childcare Workshop Series gives you the opportunity to explore this specialist area of childcare through focused, practical live training.
Whether you are curious about Wedding & Event Childcare, developing a new service or looking to strengthen an existing childcare business, you can choose the workshop that is most relevant to you.
You do not need to complete the full series. Attend one workshop, several workshops or progress to the complete Wedding & Event Childcare Specialist Programme.
