FUNtastic Childcare Events

My wife and I had FUNtastic provide childcare at my wedding in April and it was worth every cent. The team were fantastic! The kids (from
1-6 years old) all had a great time, as did their parents. Since every carer had first aid training and Garda vetting, we were really comfortable and didn't have to worry about the kids room once. We would recommend them to anyone!
Great value for money!

We had Erica / FUNtastic to mind all the family kids at my brothers wedding and it went so well we immediately booked again for our own wedding in Moyvalley on 8th April

We booked the overnight service for our daughter and niece with Erica. Erica brought a second lovely lady so the best mans baby was looked after also. They both then sat at the kiddies table for the meal and all kids were fed and happy.

The kids all had an absolute ball - the perfect day for them. We really got to enjoy our wedding knowing our daughter was having a great time. Erica got the girls off to bed without a look back, got them to sleep and up for breakfast the next morning without any fuss.

My daughter still talks about Erica because she was just so lovely and they had such a great time. I highly recommend FUNtastic - absolutely amazing service.

Thank you so so much FUNtastic for taking such good care of the kids and allowing us all to enjoy the wedding day safe in the knowledge our kids were in good hands.

Erica was very responsive regarding the booking process, on the day of the wedding Desi showed up to look after my baby and was super accommodating and supportive. Although I hadn’t met Desi prior to the event I found her to be warm
and trustworthy which was reassuring as we had some anxieties about leaving our baby. All worked out great and we were able to have a nice time! I would recommend this service.

Louise arrived to look after Noah our 2 year old the night of our wedding. She was brilliant from the get go and we knew Noah was in good hands. He fell asleep quick and she sat with him in the room for the night. It was brilliant to have someone to take him and we knew he was in great hands so we could relax and enjoy our night.

We availed of Funtastic’s babysitting service at our wedding to take care of our nieces. From the beginning, the service was brilliant and we knew we made the right decision. Erica was great at advising what package was best suited to our needs and she knew our venue too, so could tell us what rooms were best to have the kids in. It was lovely for us to just relax on the day knowing that the kids were all in safe hands and enjoying themselves too! The girls loved their personalised boxes and felt completely at ease, leaving the adults to enjoy the party. Couldn’t recommend them enough for anyone planning an event & worrying about what to do with the kids - Erica & her team will take care of that for you!

Erica and her team are amazing! We had them at our wedding in August and they looked after 18 of our little guests. Every single child had so much fun. And the parents had time to relax, knowing their children were in great hands. Would highly recommend to anyone who will have children at their wedding. Brilliant service. Thank you so much again

Extremely professional, took exceptionally good care of our three children who ranged in age from 4 months to 8 years, also their 3 year old cousin. It was such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands and enabled us to relax and enjoy our day.
The kids were so excited the following morning telling us about all the games they'd played and how much fun they had. Cannot recommend Funtastic childcare highly enough, fantastic service.

Absolutely fantastic professional service - Erica and her team were pleasure to deal with and the children came away with some great memories. I honestly cannot recommend her more highly. Thanks and well done for such a professional service. Thomas

I couldnt recommend Erica highly enough. She was more than accommodating to our needs for the day.we had ages from 2-11 and all equally had the best time. My son was a little unwell on the day and is normally very clingy but Erica was brilliant with him and he stayed with them the whole time. It was so lovely that the children had such a good time and all the parents commented on how much their child enjoyed it. Thank you !

I would highly recommend Funtastic Childcare for any event. The children loved it spending time with the girls. Saying ‘it was the best day ever’ and parents were delighted that they could enjoy a few hours knowing their children were safe and having fun. I’m so glad we booked Funtastic Childcare. Erica was very friendly and very responsive when I made enquirers. She is a Montessori teacher so I knew the children would be well looked after and entertained.

I wouldn't have had the day had it not been for Erica. I was very anxious at leaving my 18month old but it's like Erica knew her years! She was fantastic with her and my daughter settled very well. This is an absolutely brilliant service and I would have no hesitaion in using it again or recommending it to anyone. And Erica is so lovely and friendly and very nice to talk to. So thank you so much again for all you did!

I can't recommend Funtastic Childcare. Events enough. This was by far the best thing we booked for our wedding. We have a 4 year old girl and we also had 7 other children attending. The girls came at 6 just in time for our dinner starting and took the children to another room, did LOADS of activites. The children also ate with them. The children came back just after 9 and were so happy and so so excited to show myself and their parents all they had done. They were also giving a goodie box with their names on it.

Working in the childcare section myself for many years it was very clear that this company are very professional and the team of workers enjoy what they do. All my guest were talking about them and how fantastic it was for the children.

I found FUNtastic childcare events by chance and so glad we did. We wanted a child free wedding but obviously we couldn't because anyone who would normally be a babysitter for our guests was attending the wedding and I had young cousins coming from abroad.
I know other companies offer softplay in the ballroom while dinner is taking place but that defeats the whole purpose I think.
We booked 3 hour package and all the kids went off with the girls just after our ceremony to a seperate room.
They had their dinner there and done lots of art and crafts. I can tell you that all the kids were raving about it when they came back. They had so much fun!
My own little girl is 2 and has special needs and Erica couldn't be more understanding or accommodating.
I would normally be very iffy about who I'd leave her with (even family ) but I felt relaxed and reassured straight away.
When I told Erica about my daughter, she said she would get Grainne( a lovely lady) who is a trained special needs assistant to be specifically assigned to my daughter for 1on 1 play for the full package! We can't tell you how delighted we were with this.
Grainne was so nice and she brought lots of peppa pig toys because she knew my girl is peppa mad! She even brought her own blender in case the hotel couldn't blend my daughters food.
We booked her for babysitting service afterwards and I can tell you I didn't worry about our daughter once as I knew she was in safe hands.
She rang me before to talk about my daughters likes and dislikes.
My aunty also used one of fantastics babysitters(Edel) as well for 2 nights and said she was brilliant.
All our guests whos children went off with the girls, were so delighted and grateful of the service. They thought it was a great idea.
Myself and my husband are so glad we booked this package as it really took the stress out of the day,wondering who would watch the kids and what if they acted up etc(I've 2 very young sisters and knew they would LOL)
I found it great value for money and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any other couple.

Excellent! What can I say?...our children among others were looked after by the funtastic crew during our meal and as much as you love your children you still have to enjoy your big day,
They were looked after to the highest level of service, had their own little room with games and toys along with their little friends It's like they had their own little wedding party couldn't recommend it more to couples that have children getting married plus others were able to bring their own children and enjoy the day just a much as everyone else without having to worry about their children....top service, highly recommend.

I highly recommend FUNtastic childcare events, they went above and beyond, definitely money well spent, a lot of happy parents all round! Excellent service thanks again for everything.

I booked Funtastic for our wedding on March 2nd in Faithlegg.This was one of the best decisions I made in the planning of our wedding . The children were entertained for 3 hours between the ceremony and the meal.I was delighted knowing that our son was being well looked after and it gave my husband and I some time to mingle with our guests and enjoy the day.All the kids were give a personalised box with their name on it .They were chuffed with that .
My brothers/sisters were saying how they wished they had such a service when they got married.
I would recommend Erica and her team in a heartbeat to all future brides.
Thanks so much again. Tricia & Philip x

I booked Erica for a customised package for my wedding in November 2016. She arrived at 5pm and took the 3 little ones off to play, games and entertain them. This was the best booking I made for my whole wedding, to know my little boy was being looked after so well and having so much fun was priceless. She looked after their dinners and babysat that night for us. The kids had so much fun and are still playing with their personalised boxes. I cant recommend Erica enough, to know your child is being looked after so well, we were able to enjoy our dinner and evening without worry. Thanks again Erica.

The kids all had a great time and the parents were very thankful to have the girls- I would hire them again and recommend them to everyone!

We were really impressed with Erica's friendliness, flexibility and organisation of wedding day activities. Our son was very comfortable with her babysitting him a couple of nights prior to the actual wedding. To the point of happily going with her the second time her saw her. He enjoyed his time in the play area that she had set up on the day of the wedding so much that he asked to go there to play the next day. I would definitely recommend Erica and her team to anyone.

If it was possible to score Erica from Funtastic more than 5/5 we would! Erica truly cares for her job and the children she looks after. She is organised and professional. Our daughter was very comfortable and content with her which meant that we were also comfortable and content to leave her in the care of Erica. We would have no hesitation in recommending Erica/Funtastic childcare service.

I can't thank Erica & Co. enough for doing such a great job of looking after all the little ones on our big day. It was great to be able to switch off for the day and night and know that they were all happy and in great hands. There were one or two stragglers on the day but they were welcomed with open arms. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and will definitely be keeping them in mind for our next big celebration!

Erica and her team where amazing, so helpful and the kids had so much fun and got a little box of toys to take home with them, I would recommend fantastic events to anyone

Erica from Funtastic was amazing on our wedding day she kept our three year old son busy the whole day with toys, playdoh and jigsaws he had a ball! It was such a comfort to know he was happy and safe, we could relax and enjoy the day with our guests. We couldnt recommend Erica enough she was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish such a professional friendly service. Thanks you.

The kids and parents loved funtastic! Erica kept the kids entertained just at the right time of the day to give their parents a little time to relax on their own!
The children had loads of fun and wanted to go back to Erica the next day!
Aine the flowergirl wouldn't let her mum dress her the next day and said she wanted erica to do it:)
They had the best time! All the effort that went in to their games and activities made it like a little party for them too!
All the parents were very pleased!
Thanks so much for making it a great day for the children too and ensuring they didn't get bored!
Would highly recommend this little extra for any wedding!

We used their nanny service for our two year old on the day and night of our wedding. We cannot express how delighted we were with Erica. Our little boy was so happy and with content with her all day. We were able to relax knowing he was happy and safe. She needs to share her secret with us all! Erica was so patient and kind to him. We would like to thank her from the bottom of our hearts, we couldn't recommend you enough!

I cannot thank Erica and the FUNtastic team enough. Both myself and my husband really wanted our nieces and nephews included in our wedding but we also wanted the parents to relax and enjoy themselves. We organised Erica to entertain the children during the speeches and the meal. All of the children had a ball and especially loved their personalised activity boxes which kept them amused for the rest of the night. Some of them are still going around with their boxes. Erica has a fantastic way of interacting with children and her action packed itenary of games and crafts kept them busy and entertained. All of the children loved her and are still talking about her while all the parents want to know her secret. I could not recommend Erica and her team at FUNtastic enough and it was definitely the best money we spent at our wedding.

A massive thank you to Erica and her team/ We booked Erica to look after seven small kids at our recent wedding and what can i say her service from start to finish was exceptional. The kids loved her and she made our "little princess" the star of the show. The kids loved their box of gifts. If anyone is thinking of booking a service that is professional run, and all you want are happy kids for the day then please ring Erica now i promise you wont be disappointed.

Thank you so much for the great service today at the birthday party, Isabel loves her box and the amazing goodies inside! You kept the kids occupied for hours! Highly recommend and would definitely use again for the next occasion!

"We are extremely grateful to Funtastic for the great service they provided recently for a family wedding. All the children had a really fun time and were talking about it all the next day.

The peace of mind that came with using such a professional service meant that mums and dads could relax and enjoy the day with the rest of the relatives and friends. We would wholeheartedly recommend Funtastic for any special event that might require childcare and entertainment for even the youngest of guests."

I was incredibly impressed by Erica from FUNtastic when she joined us at my daughters christening party. The children were fully engaged with fun activities with Erica for the duration of the party giving all parents peace of mind and the ability to relax and enjoy our special day. All of the children in attendance were treated to a personalised and age-specific gift box- a really generous and thoughtful touch!
I wouldn't hesitate in inviting Erica to our next celebration - and either would the children!
