Minor charges may be admitted in such places (7)

I believe the answer is:

creches

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'minor charges' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'admitted in such places' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'may be' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for creches that I've seen before include "Nurseries" , "child-care facilities" .)
