The Launceston Creche was formed in 1945, as a unit of the Launceston War Memorial Community Centre.
On 25 November 1948, a temporary Creche was opened by the Governors' wife, Lady Binney. It operated from two small rooms at the Albert Hall for the next seven years, but was forced to close when the rooms were required for other purposes.
The Creche opened in Cameron Street, in June 1956, after the Tasmanian Minister for Health, Dr A J Turnbull, assisted the committee by making provision for the Creche service on part of the first floor of the new Child Health Centre.
The Creche found a permanent home in November 1977, when it moved to its current location.
