Apply early for places at a nursery or crèche

If you are going to need childcare support, contact the student services office of your chosen university or college at an early stage to find out:

  • what provision is available
  • how much it will cost
  • if it will give you sufficient time to study.

Facilities vary considerably and there is often competition for places. It is therefore a good idea to apply early for places at a nursery or crèche.
