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 are able to attend the excellent local primary and secondary schools.  For younger members of the family, on-site crèche facilities are available for children during week-day mornings.  Additional sessions can be arranged for afternoons if regular lectures are scheduled and there is enough demand.

The crèche can accommodate three babies and seven pre-schoolers at any one time.  Each week follows a theme with related structured play and craft activities, and there is a large well-equipped playroom with access to the garden and outdoor toys on sunny days.  A sleep room with cots also provides a quiet area for babies to have a 'nap'.

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 small charge for crèche sessions.

"Our son has settled very well and it's great to have a crèche that runs during lectures.  We are confident he is going to be happy and safe."

"The crèche offers a well-structured and interesting environment with lots of variety.  Christine has a good routine going and for the children it is an extension of home.  My daughter is very happy there."

"Christine and Ola's hard work makes the crèche a wonderful place for our daughter - she loves it and we are so relieved to know she is happy there."
