Childcare
If you are considering enrolling on a short course in a community venue there may be crèche facilities and free childcare places available. Ask the course organiser to find out whether this is the case for the learning opportunity you would like to take part in.
If you would like to go to college or university there may be crèche facilities on campus at the institution you would like to attend. These places are usually limited and you should apply early to avoid disappointment.
