Has anyone used the creche at Beckenham Spa?

I went to have a look at the creche at Beckenham Spa and it seemed really nice.

Has anyone's baby ventured in there? And is it easy to book places, or even just turn up?

My baby is nine months old and I need a swim! Any thoughts appreciated...

Yes, I use it a lot for my daughter (from 3 months, and she is now 16 months). The "ladies" are so lovely. I do try to book in advance - 3 days if you're not a memember, 12 days if you are.

A big thumbs up from me - see you in the pool lol!

PS If you go a couple of times a week or more then its worth joining you and baby as members - day membership for you both combined works out at about ?40 a month, and you get swimming, creche, soft play, classes, Crystal Palace 1 o'clock club etc for free. Plus you get the advance booking thing.

I've been using it since my son was 5 months and he's now 2 1/4.

I would definitely recommend your child becoming a member - with soft play, creche and Crystal Palace 1.00 club and discount off his swimming lessons - he covers the cost within just a few months.

The "ladies" are fab, very friendly, will totally do what you ask and just lovely with the kids. It was also the first time I had left him during the day (apart from with family) and they really helped me with what to do - ie he was crying.

Big thumbs up

See you in the pool also
