Family Support for Student Parents

Studying with young children can be challenging without childcare. Some universities have nurseries or trusted childcare partners.

What to do: Visit your university website and search for childcare, nursery or family support information. Also use the GOV.UK childcare finder to look for Ofsted-registered childcare close to campus and contact them about spaces and fees.

What do you need: You need your child's age, your timetable and your budget for childcare.

Outcomes: You will know what childcare options exist near your university and how to apply.

Lifehack: Join waiting lists early, as nursery places for students can fill quickly.
