The University is proud to offer a comprehensive range
of childcare services to both students and staff at affordable prices and works closely with
various professional bodies to continue to enhance its provision.
There are a number of subsidised nursery places, a subsidised holiday playscheme, and a limited amount of childcare funding available.
If
you are interested in a University-subsidised nursery place, we
strongly recommend that you contact the Childcare Services Team as soon as
you have received an offer of admission because there are long waiting
lists for nursery places.
University nurseries
Childcare Services manage multisite nursery provision which comprises four bespoke University nurseries and a further eight nurseries where dedicated nursery places are available for University staff and student parents. They offer full-time places as well as two- and three-day part-time places. There is a waiting list, so you are advised to apply as soon as possible.
Various holiday play schemes exist which offer discounted rates to University parents during the vacations.
College nurseries
Four of Oxford's colleges have their own nurseries - Balliol, St Anne's, Somerville and Wolfson. Please contact the colleges directly to find out about eligibility, fees and waiting lists.
