Childcare
The compatibility of work/study and family often falls or stands with good and reliable childcare. Due to the pluralization of life plans from families, different needs develop in the area of childcare, which are increasingly not covered by the offer of regular care. For this reason, the Family service at the University of Oldenburg is constantly trying to develop the range of further supplementary childcare.
If you have any questions about childcare, please do not hesitate to contact the Family service of the University of Oldenburg. We support you in finding the right form of care for your child and put you in touch with the right contact persons. However, we are not responsible for allocating places.

The Childcare Marketplace
Are you looking for private childcare in the form of babysitting or homework help?
The Family Service’s childcare marketplace (Betreuungsbörse) is a 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).
Parents and caregivers who are interested in using this service can find more information here.

Childminder & Family day care (0-3 years, Kindertagespflege)
In Germany there are two official, state-regulated options for children from 0 to 3 year old ones: parents can take their children either to a childminder (Tagesmutter) or to a day nursery (Krippe).
The care provided by a childminder is referred to as family day care (Kindertagespflege).
Family day care is a childcare service for children aged 0 to 14, but is primarily suitable for children aged 0 to 3 years. For older children, this form of care can, under certain circumstances, be in addition to attending a daycare center or attending an all-day primary school.
Family day care for children is a care offer with a family character since only 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. (City of Oldenburg 2019)
The city of Oldenburg's child day care service office will advise you free of charge and individually about the childcare options for your child and will put you in touch with day care providers.
