There are various types of childcare available in the Cambridge area outside of the University and Colleges. This has been separated out into under 5's and school age children with the intention of making it easier to review.
- The Family Information Service (operating within the Cambridgeshire County Council) maintains the Online Directory: Childcare which includes information on childcare and early learning providers as well as support services for families.
- There are a number of websites which aim to assist families with finding suitable childcare. As well as listing provisions, there are also helpful tips on what to look for when considering a facility. The sites include the The Family and Daycare Trust, Childcare.co.uk, Yoopies and Babysits.
- Accessing the inspection reports from OFSTED can also be useful.
The University does not endorse or recommend any external childcare or babysitting services but are providing details to assist parents.
