Flexible childcare

Casper playgroups
Studierendenwerk Hamburg has also set up so-called Casper playgroups to ensure regular childcare in the late afternoon and early evening, a service for students and employees alike. You do not need a Kita voucher to use Casper!

Uni Eltern
In addition to childcare services offered by Studierendenwerk, the parent initiative Uni Eltern provides last-minute childcare of up to eight hours per week. This primarily targets parents with small children requiring daycare or parents who want to return to their studies or workplace quickly and require flexible hours. You do not need a voucher to use UniEltern services.

"Zwischenspeicher" – Family room at the informatics campus
Students and employees in the MIN Faculty can also find last-minute childcare at the Zwischenspeicher on the informatics campus in Stellingen. You can consult the flyer (PDF) or Zwischenspeicher's concept leaflet (PDF).

Weekend care at the UKE day care centre
The first weekend of every month, the childcare center at the University Medical center (UKE) provides weekend childcare services for children aged 0 to 6. This offer targets UKE staff and students with children as well as students from other universities in Hamburg. See Konzept (PDF) for details on this particular  service.

Weekend day care at the KinderCampus
You can have your child(ren) looked after by experienced teachers from 10am to 4pm on weekends at the KinderCampus day-care facility.

Mobilé—flexible childcare
Mobilé  provides flexible childcare for students at Hamburg universities and UKE staff. Childcare is available outside of regular daycare hours for children between 8 weeks and 6 years old. You can get childcare for 2 to 6 hours and 1 overnight stay per week. The childcare if offered at your home or in a UKE daycare center. This serivce will remain free until December 2018.

Childcare near the University

Studierendenwerk Hamburg runs five "Kitas" (combined daycare and nursery school facilities) providing regular supervision for approx. 370 children between one and six years old whose parents are either studying or working at one of Hamburg's universities.

Parents who want to use one of the Studierendenwerk Kitas must have a Kita voucher.

Kita voucher system

Hamburg's parents have a right to childcare, which is governed by the Kita voucher system. You can find more information about this on the webpages maintained by the City of Hamburg. These pages also contain application forms for Tagesmutter services (subsidized childcare run by one nanny or a team of nannies for small groups of children, in either the nanny's home or separate premises) and aged and nursing care both in and outside of the home.

Special opportunities for children

Toy boxes

Students and staff might have to bring their children to the campus or the office for many reasons: Perhaps the childcare provider is closed for the day, there is an outbreak of lice at the kindergarten, the nanny has to cancel, a child has just recovered from an illness but is not ready to return to school, or a guest lecturer needs to bring children along over the weekend. To ease the situation for parents and children, we provide portable toy boxes (sponsored by the University's Equal Opportunity Unit). You can borrow one at any of the locations listed below.
