The Creche is an essential space at the Convention, providing a warm and welcoming, safe space for parents and children alike. Giving this space for the children to sleep and play, allows parents and carers to watch and listen to the live stream, or even have a much-needed conversation with the creche team and other parents.
Your role as a creche volunteer is to bring warmth and care to parents and their children when they visit the creche space, offering a cup of tea or a listening ear. Please note: parents will stay with their children.
