Nigel Roder has organised a Children's Renegade for many years.
At BJC 2010 Circus Kevin organised some children's activities; he also brought lots of kid-appropriate circus equipment for them to use.
Various parents were pleased that their kids had something to do.
BBU 2010 is trialling a separate "family camping area", which might help keep the late night revellers away from the kids, and the kids away from the hung over folks early in the morning. Also helps families to arrange co-ordinated babysitting efforts.
Some BJCs have offered (paid?) creches but there has been little interest shown in them.
