This is just a quick heads up to remind people that if we don't get enough interest in running childcare at BiCon, we don't do it automatically. Crèches can be quite expensive and hard to organise, so we need enough notice to do it properly and we need to know it's the right way to spend BiCon's money. So if you are thinking of bringing children to BiCon, let us know now – even if you're not 100% sure.
If we don't hear from parents by 10th July we won't be able to include them in our thinking – and at this stage that would mean that BiCon won't have a crèche this year.
And speaking of deadlines – remember that 8th August is the deadline for booking, and paying for, on site accommodation, so get booking! And if you haven't paid – we need your money!
We'll have a seven-month old with us, and would appreciate at least some sort of creche possibility.
Thanks for letting us know about your interest in childcare. We'll let you know what options we can provide some time early next week, after our deadline.
Hi Kai, I have just posted an update to say that we have not had enough interest in childcare to run a professional crèche, so there won't be one this year. If you still want to attend with a child tehre is some information here – http://alpha.bicon2011.org.uk/access/children-at-bicon/ and you can ontact me at info@bicon.org.uk to discuss what we can do to help.
