SerenNightsCIC – Overnight Childcare venue
Cardiff, United Kingdom
Aim: A nurturing nighttime space for kids aged 4–12—helping parents work, rest, and reconnect.
About Us
We’re Seren Nights Twilight Hotel C.I.C., a newly formed social enterprise based in Cardiff — and the first of our kind in Wales. Our mission is to provide safe, nurturing overnight childcare for children aged 4–12, supporting parents and carers who work unsociable hours or simply need time to rest and recharge.
Founded by local parents with lived experience of the challenges families face when care ends at 6pm, Seren Nights was born out of necessity. Whether you’re a solo carer, shift worker, or just need a rare night off — we’re creating a venue where your children can sleep, play, and thrive in a calm and homely environment.
Why We Exist
There’s currently a huge gap in evening and overnight childcare — especially in purpose-designed venues that combine comfort, calm, and professional care. Seren Nights offers something new: a dedicated space where children can feel at home, and parents feel confident they’re supported.
Our goal is to run 7 nights a week, with themed sleep suites, play zones, and trained, nurturing staff in a venue that feels magical yet safe. We’re also committed to inclusivity, eco-conscious design, and working with local suppliers wherever possible.
How Your Support Helps
We’ve already registered as a Community Interest Company, secured our branding, and launched our digital presence. Your support will help us with:
- Securing a dedicated venue
- Licensing, insurance, and compliance
- Furnishing our sleep and play areas
- Staffing, training, and safeguarding essentials
- Offering apprenticeships and volunteer opportunities
Every contribution brings us closer to opening our doors and supporting working families across Wales.
