Childcare Services oversees the facilities and assistance offered to University staff and students with children.
The University has four Workplace Nurseries at Edwinstowe Close, West Cambridge, Eddington and the Chris Abell Nursery for children from three months to school age. Offers of places at a University Workplace Nursery depend on demand and qualifying criteria.
Staff who secure a place at a University Nursery can join the Workplace Nurseries' Salary Exchange Scheme to benefit from tax and National Insurance savings on their nursery fees.
Our Holiday Playscheme operates during the state school holiday periods (excluding Christmas and Bank Holidays) for school-age children.
Childcare Services operates an Information Service, which aims to support families of the University community. The service offers information on family related issues including childcare, schooling, health care, financial support and local community resources.
We offer a Stay and Play group for families with a University connection which takes place on Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 10.30-12 (during state school term time).
