Rock Up and Play

📢 Big changes are happening! 📢

Starting from now this account will no longer be active.

I’ve embarked on a new chapter, specialising in holistic infant sleep coaching, while continuing to provide my personalised nanny service - my first love!

Moving forward, all my content and updates will now be shared on - your new hub for all things childcare, holistic sleep coaching and life in general with babies and toddlers! 🌙

I want to assure you that while Rock Up and Play won't be active here anymore, my personalised nanny service is still very much available.

The same passion, care, and dedication you've known from Rock Up and Play will now flourish under the welcoming umbrella of The Parent Rock. 🚀

Same great service, just a new home!

I’m immensely grateful for the support you’ve shown Rock Up and Play over the past ten years.

See you at

Feeling like a flowery bag rather than the usual spotty suitcase kinda day!

Wedding nanny gig this afternoon, right through until carriages at midnight.

It's going to be a scorcher so being inside a cool castle will be the best place to be!

Travelling with children takes on a whole different dimension compared to life before your cherubs came along. Yes, the days of throwing a few bits and bobs into a bag, grabbing your passport and shades before heading off to the airport are long gone, but it doesn't mean you have to put trips on the back burner until your children are much older.

Holidaying with small children is daunting but it can have some benefits. Locals seem more friendly and willing to chat, quite often resulting in being told about some hidden gems. Great excuse to do some 'childish' daft things! No-one will bat an eyelid when you go down all the slides - in fact they'll be thinking what a great parent you are!

Read my latest blog, Jetting off on a family holiday, over on The Parent Rock website, for all the essentials.

Hello lovely people, I need your help!

As you probably know I've recently started a new business The Parent Rock. I'm struggling to reach parents of young children through social media so I'd be very grateful for your assistance.

I appreciate that for many of you those challenging days of having ankle biters are long gone but if you could please like my page The Parent Rock and then like/share my posts it would make a massive difference to my content reaching those parents who need it.

I've set myself the challenge of reaching 100 followers by the end of the weekend.

And for those of you on Instagram you can find me on there too as theparentrock.

Many many thanks xx

On cue the sun magically appeared as the bride walked down the aisle.

The most wonderful time on Saturday looking after some gorgeous little pickles along with my wing woman Nicola!

Packed spotty suitcases can only mean one thing.....nanny booking!

Nicola and I will be rocking up to Berkeley Castle Exclusive Weddings tomorrow afternoon.

And the really good news is that we won't have just the one baby but two! 😍 So there will be no need for is to squabble over baby cuddles! Perfect!

Did you know that I have over 30 years experience of working with children and their families?

I have had the pleasure of caring for hundreds of children - actually most likely thousands but I’ve lost count!

From working as a healthcare professional to an early years educator to running my own event childcare business there's not much I don't know about child development and learning!

Plus as a mum of four children I fully understand the challenges of juggling a career and family and know first hand parenting is hard work.

I am passionate about supporting parents in growing kind, resilient and courageous children and always have the best outcomes for children at the heart of my work.
