Nursery is way more common here in the States, creche is usually used when someone is writing sci-fi or fantasy and wants to sound fancy =)

I agree with that. I’ve only known crèches as places where a human body is held in order to be augmented or have a mind transfer to a body in a second crèche.

Nurseries are for human children; creches are for ineffable alien offspring-rearing purposes.
