Childcare office
The University has three day nurseries at Edwinstowe Close, West Cambridge and Eddington for children from three months to school age, as well as a Holiday Playscheme which operates during the state school holiday periods (excluding Christmas and Bank Holidays) for school-age children; although our venue at St Mary’s Junior School is also open for some additional holiday periods. There are schemes available for staff to benefit from tax and National Insurance savings on their childcare costs.
