Babysitting services

Our Guest Services Team can assist with making babysitting arrangements with our established partnership, Rockabye Babysitters.

This boutique nanny service in London offers reasonable prices for their services, which include evening and daytime bookings and 24-hour assistance. This bespoke service allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds – time together as a family along with time alone knowing your children are well looked after.

Before arranging services, please review the service's cancellation policies to avoid any additional fees.
