I'm a big fan of creche in church. But it has many minor teething problems. For instance if a baby is asleep and then starts crying- what happens? If the mum is there full time then there isn't much point-better to have a soundproof room. Or does the creche person leave the kids and go get the mum?
I saw a clever solution used at my brother's church in the netherlands (attendance of 800 or so). They have a Baby sleep room next to creche area and every child/parent is assigned a number. When the baby starts crying the number is flashed in the bottom corner of the big screen and mum or dad knows to come collect/soothe/feed the baby. Simple little trick that helps parents get more out of the sermon/service.
What little tricks does your church use?
