Welcoming Children with Care and Quality Since 2007
Our Story, Mission, and Values
Founded by Chris Barraclough and Joy Garland in 2007, with Joanne Docherty joining as director in 2025, A Little Something Extra was created to ensure children always have their own joyful space at adult events. Our mission is to offer reliable, warm, and professional childcare services that integrate seamlessly into weddings, community events, and hotel stays. We believe every child deserves inclusion and trusted care, which is reflected in our strong partnerships with local councils and distinguished venues.
