Did you see our gratitude tree?

Often part of our breastfeeding areas, Stay & Play setups and event crèches, it's a simple but powerful way to encourage reflection, appreciation and empathy.

For parents, it’s a gentle reminder to pause and think about what they’re grateful for.
For children, it’s a visual and interactive way to explore kindness and gratitude, especially when they see their parents using it.

Over the years, we’ve learned that these little touches make all the difference in creating inviting and meaningful spaces at events.

All part of the Nipperbout service.

Would you be more likely to focus on a conference if you knew your child was next door and having an absolutely amazing time?

We thought so!

"Made it much easier to enjoy the conference. If you're a little apprehensive about attending with your kids don't be. The facilities are better than you could imagine." Parent at The ARC Conference 2025.

Bringing your child to Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity this year? Let us help.

We know many parents want to share the festival experience with their children while also getting the most out of their time. That’s why our onsite crèche is running again, so you can focus on the festival, knowing your child is safe and happy.

📅 Deadline for bookings is 13th May and if last year is anything to go by, spaces will go fast, so don’t wait too long!

And we are off!

The start of the Nipperbout Childcare Service at the National Education Union Annual Conference 2025!

It’s already busy and with 198 children aged 0-17 expected it’s such a boost to stamina and moral to have a lovely staff area to relax and recoup away from the childcare areas.

Many thanks to the Harrogate Convention Centre for organising this area for our amazing Purple People.

This space included:

Ever tried to focus on an event knowing you have a school pick up deadline

How about if the event you were attending offered fun, structured entertainment AT THE SHOW so you can actually focus, while your child has the best time?

"You have made our experience easier. My son had a fantastic time. Having fun at an event like this is amazing for him and so helpful for us."

We think event childcare should be standard - do you?

03/04/2025

Ever attended an event and couldn’t focus because of childcare worries?

A crèche lets parents fully engage, knowing their children are safe and happy. At conferences like NEU & Cannes Lions, childcare is now standard and it’s making a difference.

Would having childcare at events help you?

Calling all superheroes!

We promise adventure-filled activities, creative play and plenty of superhero-themed creativity.

Have you tried this with your child?

Smarties, warm water and a little patience!

We love activities that spark curiosity, encourage discovery and bring learning to life. Seeing the wonder on children's faces as they experiment and explore is what makes moments like this so special.

Ever had to choose between your career and your child’s needs?

One mum at Confex last month told us she had to stop breastfeeding because she couldn’t manage event hours!

With 1 in 10 people in the UK suffering from anxiety, it’s no wonder parents feel overwhelmed at events. Long hours, travel and logistics shouldn’t be barriers to participation. Onsite childcare makes all the difference.

💡 When children are nearby, included & cared for, parents can focus.
💡 More event organisers are offering crèches during build-up & breakdown—why not extend this to attendees?

Read our latest blog on how we can make events better for parents AND organisers - https://www.nipperbout.com/event-tipbits/easing-the-guilt-why-event-childcare-matters-for-all

We'd love to hear your experiences.

A little imagination goes a long way!

"You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have."

That’s why at Nipperbout, we love creating spaces where children can play, explore, and express themselves. Whether it’s biscuit decorating, arts and crafts, or imaginative games, we ensure kids have the chance to unleash their creativity while parents relax and enjoy the event.

Looking for child-friendly spaces at events? We’ve got you covered!

As an event organiser, you already have a million things to think about. Adding children to the mix can often add more pressure.

Whether children are simply attending as guests or actually performing, do you fully understand your responsibilities?

Our Children at Events training equips you with everything you need to keep young attendees safe. Covering laws, best practices, and safeguarding, it ensures your event is compliant, prepared, and welcoming for families.

We’ve spent 30+ years perfecting these techniques and now we’re ready to share them with you.

Imagine this - your child gets separated from you at a busy event. Who’s looking after them? How are they being reassured?

Children communicate their emotions in different ways and the way they are spoken to in those crucial moments can make all the difference.

That's why our Mind Your Language training exists - to teach event and security teams how to calm, reassure, and support children in distress, so that when it matters most, they get it right.
