Family Facilities
Children play a
big part in community life at Redcliffe and we take great care to cater
for the specific needs of families. The college lawns are a great place
for children to run off excess energy, and there is an enclosed play
area for children on the main campus. School-aged children attend nearby
primary and secondary schools.
For
younger members of the family, the OFSTED on-site crèche facilities are available
for children during week-day mornings in Redcliffe Court. Additional sessions can be
arranged for afternoons if regular lectures are scheduled and there is
enough demand. Each week follows a theme with related
structured play and craft activities. There are two play rooms and a seperate babies sleeping room and garden area.
The OFSTED registered
facilities passed their latest inspection with flying colours, and
Christine, the crèche supervisor, holds an NVQ3 qualification in Child
Development. Please note, there is a charge for crèche sessions.
Family Accommodation
Redcliffe Court is a block of five two-bedroom
self-contained flats within two minutes walk of the main college campus.
The
flats are ideal for smaller families or those with very young children.
Each
flat comes fully furnished and equipped with all the conveniences
required for
modern living.
Families
with children under 5 have priority for Redcliffe Court. Families with
school-age children occasionally live in the main building with their
bedrooms
together in one wing (subject to availability). Other families choose to rent accommodation near to the college, and we will help as much as possible to find the right place for you and your family.
From the moment we arrived we have felt welcome. Our temporary
home has
become a real one and through the months we have come to know our fellow
students. In the hard times we have been taught by God, formed by our
housemates and upheld by other students in the main building. Together
we form
a new unique family, and we are very glad to be part of it.
