service areas
Hi All,
This is from a Spanish architectural firm's summary of projects. The client wants UK English. In the section about constructing a new highway service area it says:
El programa contempló espacios públicos [XXXXXXX, XXXXXXX y una tienda de conveniencia], espacios para preparación de materia prima, cámaras de frío negativo y positivo, cuatro almacenes, espacios técnicos, vestuarios y nuevos servicios de lavabos públicos que incorporan baños adaptados a nueva normativa de barreras arquitectónicas (servicios de ‘nursery’, etc.)
I imagine that, given the context, and the pictures they gave me, they want to say the play areas for kids at the fast food restaurants. Of course, they are also talking about the bathrooms so they might mean breastfeeding areas. Has anyone ever seen this term before?

nappy changing services, etc
I think this must be it. It is now very common to see these in motorway service areas.....

: They're often called parent and baby rooms, because they're also used for things like feeding.

Comment: "Thanks for your help! In the end we asked the client and they said that in the "argot" of motorway development they use the term servicios de nursery even though that's not what it is. In the end, after researching it a bit, I think babycare room sums up nicely the idea of an area for breast feeding and nappy changing."
