The number of days you work or spend studying determines the number of days per week your child can spend in a University of Oxford nursery place.
If you have a FTE contract of 0.80 or above, you will be able to access full-time (5 day) or part time (4 day) childcare at University of Oxford nurseries.
Those with a FTE contract of between 0.55-0.79 are eligible for three days and those with a FTE contract of between 0.35-0.54 are eligible for two days.
Those employed on term time only contracts are able to access nursery provision throughout the year and will be liable for the full, year-round fees.
The University owns a number of nurseries (University nurseries) and has places at a number of Community nurseries. If you choose to use a University nursery, attendance patterns comprise:
2 day placements | Monday/Tuesday or Thursday/Friday |
3 day placements | Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday or Wednesday/Thursday/Friday |
4 day placements | Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday |
5 day placements |
Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday |
Our Community nurseries can offer more flexible attendance patterns, for example half days. As above, your FTE will determine the number of days you are eligible to apply for. If you are employed on a variable hours contract, Childcare Services will require written confirmation of the minimum weekly guaranteed hours from your Department or College.
