I notice the suggested rendering is similar to schools. Don't know about other areas, but in the US, many childcare centers are run out of private homes, so that rendering might seem a little strange. Maybe in that case a node is a better choice.
Also, if you really want to get into the details of capacity and age, in the US there are sometimes limits on # of children in an age range, depending on the ratio of staff to children. Again, don't know how this might differ elsewhere.
