Cost of one off Nanny for wedding

We have a family wedding this summer and I am trying to get an idea of how much it would cost us to hire a nanny for the day. I am just not sure where to start looking, as we don't live locally to where the wedding is taking place (East Sussex).

We will be staying in a holiday home we have booked, and the childcare would take place there (30 mins from the wedding venue). It would be for 4 children (20mths to 5 years) from 2 family groups. We don't have timings yet, but I would imagine it would be roughly from lunchtime until 7-8pm, as my parents aren't intending to stay for the evening do, so would take over childcare for the evening.

Would it be better to have 2 nannies working together for this many children (DH is a worrier Grin)? And, does anyone have any idea of the going rate for this type of thing?

Is it not easier to take the kids to the wedding? I would not leave my kids with someone they/I've just met... and kids have a great time at weddings. Or are they not invited (which I find strange but seems to be normal in Europe at least)?

i assume it is a child free wedding

It hasn't actually been confirmed as being child free and, if it isn't, then the problem is solved. However, we believe, for various reasons, that it will be child free, so are just investigating our options in advance.
