Whether or not you should invite children at an event is always a debated question. There is no right or wrong answer to this but there is a solution to this problem.
It is true that children can take the focus away from an event or function. We miss out on important moments because of a cry of a child or disrupted view from children running around.
There are many venues around Dundee and East Scotland that offers a place with children’s menus or a dedicated play area for children. Many venues are considerate to the requests of organisers who are obliged to invite children but don’t want them running around during mealtimes.
Choosing the right mobile crèche provider is important to ensure your success for your event.
The following tips can help you choose the right mobile crèche provider:
1. Response and communication:
One way to find out about a mobile crèche provider is by looking at how quickly do they respond to your queries and how well do they communicate with you.
2. Risk Assessment:
Check if they would conduct a risk assessment to the venue where the event would be held. A good mobile crèche provider would assess the venue to check for accessibility and suitability for children.
3. Toys and entertainment:
A good crèche service would provide toys, books, play mats and prepare other activities that would entertain the children
4. Qualified staff:
It is important to have qualified professionals looking after your children. Check the qualification level of all staff involved. Also if there have been any testimonials by other parents.
5. Policies and procedures:
Check the policies of the crèche provider. In Scotland the Care Inspectorate governs care provision and all good crèche providers should be working within these guidelines
