Crèche: advantages and disadvantages

The crèche is a popular childcare option for parents because of the community life and the budget, but it has a few disadvantages that must be taken into account.

• The crèche is a secure place with impeccable hygiene where the PMI makes regular checks.
• The staff is trained and sufficiently numerous to supervise baby and offer him a variety of activities for his development.
• Another advantage is that baby discovers life in a community and makes many friends!
• However, since the nurseries are overcrowded, it is difficult to find a place.
• The care is less personalized than that of a childminder.
• The reception hours are fixed and sometimes limited, which is difficult to manage if you have transportation problems or an unexpected meeting.
• Finally, if this can be seen as an advantage for some parents, sick children are not welcomed.
