About University Holiday Provision
The University of Cambridge provides a range of holiday childcare services to support staff, students and the community during state school holidays.
These services are designed to help families balance work and caring responsibilities while ensuring children are cared for in a safe, welcoming and engaging environment.
University holiday provision sits within the University’s wider Childcare Services and reflects our commitment to supporting wellbeing, equality and inclusion across the University community.
Our Approach
Our holiday childcare provision is built around the needs of both children and working families. We aim to offer services that are:
- Reliable and accessible, aligned with the University’s working patterns
- High quality and professionally delivered
- Inclusive and supportive, welcoming children from a wide range of backgrounds
- Child-centred, promoting wellbeing, confidence and enjoyment
We recognise that holiday periods can place additional pressures on families and our services are designed to provide reassurance, continuity and positive experiences for children.
