Having an event creche company is really the only viable option; fortunately there are a few about, tend to be reasonably priced.

The only two sticking points are that its currently quite late to be booking such things :) and, we'd need to organise an appropriate room (secure, to keep the kids in and undesirables out).

I think it unlikely that more than one or two short term vacancies can be found nearby, these places generally have a very high staff-to-child ratio (by law it has to be for pre-schoolers 1:3 for under twos, for example).

Were we to provide creche facilities  we would have to have DBS certificates for all staff, unless we had a third party - even then we would have check that they checked!

http://www.tinies.com/creches/event-childcare/, for example provide event crèches and childcare.

Well, that depends on how it is offered. If the conference is offering these facilities, then yes. If it's in the form of "there's these services nearby where we've arranged a special deal for attendees", then liability and insurance will be taken on by the 3rd parties.
