There are various options for childcare for your pre-school aged children whilst you are at University e.g. nurseries, creches or childminders. ChildcareLink can provide valuable information about different alternatives for childcare, no matter where you live in the UK.
UWE has two nurseries to help with childcare. The new nursery at the Frenchay Campus has 40 places for children aged three months to five years. The Halley Nursery at the St Matthias Campus, has 20 places for children aged six months to five years on a full or part-time basis.
There are a large number of nurseries in and around Bristol. Some are private, others are run by Social Services and, in some areas, local authority nursery schools and classes attached to primary schools cater for children aged three to five.
