A regular childcare place in the day nusery (Krippe) helps to reconcile work/study and family. Children of students and employees of the University of Oldenburg are given preferential consideration when allocating a place in the day nursery of the Studierendenwerk.

The Uni Campus day nursery run by the Studierendenwerk Oldenburg is located directly on the Harentor campus, Uhlhornsweg. This has three crèche groups with half-day and full-day offers.

In the Huntemannstraße day nursery there are 29 places for children under the age of 3 in a morning and an all-day group.

The day nursery Kükersweg of the student self-help - day-care center e.V. (Wechloy) offers a crèche group for 1-3 year olds.
 

Registration process

However, it should also be noted here that the child must be resident in Oldenburg and that all day nursery places are allocated through the central allocation procedure of the city of Oldenburg in January for the coming kindergarten year in August. However, registration can also be made on another date.  The chances of getting a place in a day nursery increase if you register in January.

You can find more information on the registration process at the City of Oldenburg under child day care.

The child day nursery service office will help you find and register for a place in a day care center and will advise you free of charge. Contact information you find here.

The care provided by a childminder is referred to as family day care (Kindertagespflege).

Family day care for children is a care offer with a family character since only 4- 5 children are cared for by one childminder. This ensures a high degree of security and reliability in the relationship with the caregiver. The childminder supports the development of the children in a safe environment with offers suitable for children and a well-structured daily routine.

Are you planning a meeting, conference or training course and your children are coming along?

The University of Oldenburg supports the compatibility of science and family and offers professional childcare at events. Whether it's a meeting, conference, training course or symposium - the Weser-Ems Family Service ensures that parents can relax while their children are competently looked after.

Childcare is provided in the family-friendly parent-child rooms or in the A63 children's house. Children between the ages of 3 and 12 are lovingly looked after by the Weser-Ems Family Service in a group of up to 10 children. The University's Family Service obtains a suitable childcare concept from the Weser-Ems Family Service in advance, which is tailored to the respective event. The costs for childcare are borne by the organizer.

For optimal organization, please contact the Family Service of the University of Oldenburg as early as possible so that science and family can be reconciled in the best possible way.

Are you looking for private childcare in the form of babysitting or homework help?
The Family Service’s childcare exchange (Betreuungsbörse) is an online platform where students and employees can advertise their services and availability for childcare in the form of babysitting and homework help throughout the University. This way, fellow students and employees with children who are looking for support can find suitable childcare (babysitting/homework help).
