The Glastonbury Afterglow – Why the Festival Magic Shouldn’t End When You Get Home

By chesilly | Published on 1 July 2025

You made it to Glastonbury. You survived the tent, the rain, the crowds, and the glitter. You lost your voice in front of the Pyramid Stage, found yourself in the Healing Fields, and remembered how freeing it feels to dance barefoot in the mud. But now the music fades, the tents come down, and your inbox and your kids are waiting.
Here’s the thing no one tells you about festivals as a parent: coming home is the hard part.
That’s where House of Yaya comes in. We’re your trusted nanny agency and your secret weapon for a smooth, stress-free return to reality.

Before the Glitter Settles, Plan for the Comeback

While you’re figuring out how many sequins are too many (spoiler: there’s no such thing), we’re thinking about what happens next. Coming back from a festival like Glastonbury can be jarring. The last thing you want after five days in a field is to face a messy house, clingy kids, and an empty fridge.
At House of Yaya, we help families prepare for the after-party. Whether you’re heading to Glastonbury for one night or the full five, we offer flexible, professional nanny care to hold down the fort while you’re away and help ease the transition once you’re back.

While You Dance, We Handle the Details

You should be able to lose yourself in the music without worrying about bedtime stories, school lunches, or whether the hamster’s been fed. House of Yaya provides experienced, loving nannies who manage your home life with confidence and care while you’re off the grid.
Our festival support services include:

  • Short-term nanny placements while you’re away
  • Evening and weekend care if you’re dipping in and out of the festival
  • Live-in or daily nannies depending on your location and family needs
  • Support staff to help manage routines, homework, meals, and play

Every HOY nanny is thoroughly vetted, trained, and matched specifically to your family. We don’t do generic. We do just right.

The Real VIP Experience Starts When You Get Home

The Glastonbury high is real. So is the crash. And it usually hits right around the moment you realise you need to make dinner, unpack, and catch up on sleep all at once.
Our Glastonbury Recovery Package is designed to help you glide back into family life without the chaos. Imagine walking through your front door to find:

  • Happy kids already in rhythm, cared for by someone they know and trust
  • A stocked fridge with easy meals, fresh produce, and something cold just for you
  • Clean beds, tidy rooms, and laundry under control
  • Your pet bathed and cuddled, not sulking in the corner
  • A professional nanny on hand to support bath, bedtime, and the return to routine

It’s not a fantasy. It’s House of Yaya.

Parenting Doesn’t Pause but You Can Still Party

We get it. You love your kids. You also love live music and the kind of sleep-deprived laughter that only happens at 3am around a campfire. You’re allowed to have both.
HOY exists to give parents the space to enjoy life outside of parenting, knowing their family is in the safest hands. That means if you need help:

  • Before the festival to prep your family and set them up for success
  • During the event so you can fully unplug/li>
  • After Glasto to recover and re-centre/li>

We’ve got you. All of you. Because caregiving is our main stage.
