Childcare and Quiet Spaces

Childcare

We’re delighted to partner with Nipperbout Event Childcare to offer a fully staffed crèche for families attending the Festival. Complimentary childcare will be available every morning and afternoon during Festival week (Monday to Friday). The registration deadline is 4 May. See more information on how to register.

This year’s theme, Epic Play Quest, transforms the crèche into a live‑action adventure inspired by children’s favourite games. With themed Power‑Up zones, creative crafts, active play and imaginative challenges, children can explore, build confidence and make new friends, all while being cared for by Nipperbout’s qualified and much‑loved Purple People.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Crèche opening hours: 9am–7pm daily, from 18 to 26 June 2026.
  • 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 registration@nipperbout.com.
