For staff with children, we are well placed for access to year-round childcare for under-fives, as well as holiday sports and play schemes for older children.
Nurseries
Canterbury campus
Oaks Nursery offers the highest quality nursery care and education for children aged three months to five years.
Places are offered on a first come, first served basis. Places for babies are particularly limited so staff may wish to make contact as soon as their pregnancy is confirmed.
Phone or email the Nursery Manager on 01227 827676 to find out more and/or reserve a place.
Medway campus
The nearest nursery is Busy Bees, based at Chatham Maritime.
