Creche Facilities

What is a crèche? 

• A safe, supervised play area for a group of children whose parents are occupied in an activity (e.g. education, leisure, shopping) on the same premises nearby.
• The age range being care for in a crèche provision may vary and can include babies and toddlers.
• Generally runs for two hours or less.

Within my role as the Childcare Development Officer I support potential and existing crèche providers, I can advise you on Ealing’s guidelines to follow, quality practice, marketing and documentation.

I have a list of documents that you can access below, many of these documents are to be used as samples for writing your own, and the reason for this is that, as you will see from the samples they are generic and not specific to any setting but they are a useful tool to enable you to identify the needs of your setting and the families that access it.
