Essex Police said Jethro Cox, 38, is missing from his home and they believe he is with four children aged five, four and two two-year-olds.
Officers believe Mr Cox – who is 6ft tall, with brown hair, stubble and has tattoos on his arm – was driving a white Ford C-Max.
He was wearing a white jumper, jeans and white trainers, police added.
Mr Cox has links to Romford and Hainault in east London and “may have travelled in that direction from Essex”, the force said.
