Old Man's War by John Scalzi
The office consisted of Dr. Russell, me, a chair for the doctor, a small table and two crèches. The crèches were shaped for human contours, and each had a curving transparent door that arched over the contoured area.

The Forever War by Joe Haldeman
Part of every crèche is an artificial womb that takes care of a person the first eight or ten months after quickening.

​Joe Haldeman
Civil Campaign by Lois McMaster Bujold
There is a commercial replicator crèche in Vormuir's District capital, which has been growing babies for the well-to-do for several years now.

Darkship Thieves by Sarah Hoyt
And though we were still raised in crèches like the others, we were raised in a crèche where ... a lot was demanded of us, intellectually.
Darkship Thieves
​Sarah Hoyt
My Antonia by Willa Cather
Nina interpreted the stories about the crèche fancifully, and in spite of our derision she cherished a belief that Christ was born in Bohemia a short time before the Shimerdas left that country.
