Provision available to staff and students
Kids Planet, the UK's third largest childcare provider, operate the University nurseries.
Jack Straws Lane, Mansion House and Bradmore Road nurseries all received Outstanding ratings at their first Ofsted inspections.
All the nurseries we work with provide excellent care for children under five years old, allowing parents to have peace of mind whilst at work. Our fees are extremely competitive and we offer several schemes to assist with paying for childcare, which offer considerable savings, subject to eligibility.
We also offer support for families through our staff support services and our newly launched Health Assured Employee Assistance Programme.
Childcare Services deliver excellent early years education to the children of the staff and students of the collegiate University. We have five University-owned nurseries, and work with 11 community nurseries, to provide 450+ FTE workplace nursery places to families.
There are currently 515 families benefiting from University childcare across all 16 nurseries.
