Childcare Provision

University College Birmingham does not have its own nursery but childcare does not need to be an obstacle for potential students. A number of schemes are available to assist home students with their childcare costs. If you need to find a nursery or childminder please go to DirectGov where a search can be made and a list of registered childcare providers in your area will be displayed.

Higher Education

All Higher Education students should apply to Student Finance England for assistance in the form of a childcare grant. How much you receive will depend on your financial circumstances. More information can be found at DirectGov.

Further Education

Students aged 16 to 19

You will need to apply for assistance under the Care to Learn Scheme, to find out if you qualify and how to apply please go to DirectGov website.
