Children’s services
If you are a student parent with young children, you will no doubt
have already considered your childcare options.
Demand for childcare
is high and long waiting lists are common, so it is wise to apply to
several services well in advance of commencing your study.
Most
services allocate places in November/December for the year ahead
and few vacancies arise during the year, so even if you are unsure
about whether you will be accepted into a University course it is
recommended that you apply early at a number of services.
Places for
four-year-old children are easier to find.
