Childcare and Quiet Spaces
Childcare
We’re partnering with Nipperbout to offer you complimentary childcare at the Festival. It's available every morning and afternoon during Festival week and the registration deadline is 13 May.
Here’s what you need to know
- Crèche opening hours: 9am–7pm daily, from 12 to 20 June 2025.
- Booking childcare: Spaces can be booked for up to four hours at a time, after those four hours, the children must be collected for a break, and they can be dropped off again afterwards.
- Age requirements: 0–12 years.
- Food and drink: We’ll be providing water and a snack during each session. Meals won’t be available, so we recommend picking up your child in time for lunch, either during or at the end of your session.
- Staffing:
- For children under 2, there’ll be one carer looking after a group of two children.
- For children aged 2–3, there'll be one carer looking after a group of three children.
- For children aged 3–7, there’ll be one carer looking after a group of five children.
- For children aged 8 and above, there’ll be one carer looking after a group of 6 children.
- Pushchairs: Storage will be available next to the Nipperbout crèche area, so you can leave your pushchair there while your child is in daycare.
All children will be issued a complimentary Festival badge. If you need helping booking you can contact Nipperbout on 01296 712 658 or email the team.
Creative Kids Corner
A calming space in the Palais dedicated to families attending Cannes Lions, open all week. You’ll find this in the basement too, filled with toys, beanbags and drawing materials – perfect for kids to play. There’s also an area for them to lay down and unwind.
