I have a doctor appointment in Bern on Monday and am looking to find a daycare where I can just leave my 3 year old for 1 hour or so.

Does such a thing exist in Bern?

Thanks!

There's one in Biel at the swimming pool - maybe look at somewhere like that or a gym, but I don't know of any.

This might be a bit late for you but there is a drop-off childcare facility, called Chinderbahnhof, in the main Bern train station. Here's a link to an information page in English:

I don't have kids yet (but have one on the way so I've been researching childcare options) so I haven't used the service, but it looks like the sort of thing you are looking for.
