Oxford University childcare nurseries

Matriculated students at the University are eligible to apply for a nursery place. The University’s nursery provision is oversubscribed and there is a long waiting list. Further information on applying for a nursery place can be found at: childcare.admin.ox.ac.uk/nurseries

The University also works in partnership with play scheme providers to provide support for families during school holiday periods. Details on holiday play schemes can be found at: childcare.admin.ox.ac.uk

Please contact Childcare Services directly if you have any queries: at childcare@admin.ox.ac.uk

The University Counselling Service is located at 3 Worcester Street, Oxford OX1 2BX. Confidential individual and group counselling is offered to all students who are currently matriculated members of the University. For more information see their website, www.ox.ac.uk/students/welfare/counselling

The service is free and has a lot of experience helping students to manage the pressures that arise during their time at Oxford.
