People mind when kids dropped here (6)
I believe the answer is:
creche
'kids dropped here' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'people mind when' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'when' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'crche' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for creche that I've seen before include "Day nursery for very young children" , "A day nursery for children of working parents" , "Child-minding establishment for working parents" , "Place to leave babies" , "Daytime nursery" .)
