Creche?...methinks it might be a NEST.
The photo here on the left, from the cover of Nature Magazine, December 21-28, 1995 Volume 378, shows the mother Oviraptor shielding her nest from the unfortunate disaster which recorded this moment in time. It's discovery in 1993, again by a team of researchers from the American Museum of Natural History, is proof that this was, in fact, a caring parent defending her nest !

Interesting. I had no idea that crèche meant anything other than a Christmas display of the manger with baby Jesus.
