Students with children

While Queens' is currently unable to provide accommodation suitable for student's with children, it is able to offer a number of resources for student parents to draw on.  These include:

  • Queens' College Nursery

Queens'  has its own small nursery (based on our main Cambridge site) for children from 3 months to school age.  The Queens' nursery is open 0800 to 1430 Monday to Friday during school term times and half terms only. Our nursery has 15 places, primarily for students, fellows and staff of the College. Other students may apply if Queens' has not already filled all the spaces, but we are often full and even Queens' members cannot always be guaranteed a place. For further information please contact the Nursery Head: Mrs. Sandy Bullett on 01223 335623 during nursery hours. Out of nursery term times, call Ms Sandra Lackenby on 01223 335556.

  • University Childcare Information Officer
The University's Childcare Information Adviser is available to help all students and staff with children with child-related matters. Information on finding local nurseries, childminders or after-school clubs; University facilities; financial assistance as well as advice on available bursary schemes and College family accommodation for students.
 
The Adviser also operates email lists to keep parents up to date with childcare information and in touch with each other. Parents interested in joining should email childcare@admin.cam.ac.uk
 
There is information available online at www.cam.ac.uk/cambuniv/childcare. The Cambridge Guide for Student Parents, with detailed information on University assistance, childcare, health, finance, accommodation and local parenting contacts, is available online at www.cam.ac.uk/studentparentguide.
