    More information

    No. The Creche is available to all paying visitors of the Centre (members and non-members).

    You are, however, always welcome to join us and become a member.

    Our Creche for child-minding can be found at the back of the Centre. You can see it straight ahead when you enter into the main section of the Adelaide Aquatic Centre. Walk straight between our dive and main pool and you will see the double doors of our creche at the back.

    The Creche can be used Monday to Friday: 9.00am–12.00pm (excluding public holidays) for one hour.

    We offer three sessions per day:

    • 9:00am–10:00am
    • 10:00am–11:00am
    • 11:00am–12noon

    You can book 7 days in advance.

    We can take kids from newborns all the way up to children aged ten.

    Thanks for asking. Cancellations are important so we are not left wondering what may have happened to your child.

    You must make your cancellation before 8.15am the day of your booking. You can cancel with the following steps:

    • 1. Log onto your Eventbrite account
    • 2. Go to ‘Tickets’ in top right-hand drop-down menu and select your booking
    • 3. Select 'Cancel Order', then select ‘yes, cancel this order’

    If you have more than one child booked under that booking, all bookings will be cancelled. To cancel just one child’s booking and not the other, you will need to rebook the child you would like to keep the booking for.

    That's ok. But we have a “three strikes” policy, as we used to have people just not show up for weeks on end.

    If you don’t show up, and don't cancel, three times, you will have a one month ban on creche bookings. Your child can still attend, but we can't guarantee there will be space when you arrive.

    Yes, however we use the bookings to make sure there is enough staff. If there's not enough staff, your child won't be able to attend.

    • You must fill out a registration form for your child when you first visit, and sign in and out each time
    • Your children should be ready for creche when they arrive i.e. fed and changed or toileted
    • All personal items, like food, drinks and dummies, must be named and tagged
    • Don't bring nut products, chocolates, lollies or chips – we're big on safety and allergies are a real concern
    • To keep the kids safe, keep the door locked once you enter or exit the room
    • Let us know where you will likely be in the Centre, in case there's an emergency
    • Stay in the Centre while your child is in creche (going outside with one of our group fitness classes is ok)

    Yes, your child needs to be immunised as we provide an early childhood care service and we are guided by SA Health guidelines. Find out more.
