Short-term child­care - PUKi - Pader­born Uni­ver­sity Kids

Since summer semester 2007, Paderborn University students and employees with children have been able to benefit from a short-term childcare service with qualified staff. This childcare service is intended to free up parents to deal with important university-related matters, while knowing their children are in good hands.

Children between the ages of one and twelve can be supervised and entertained in the facility by qualified staff, assisted by Education Studies students.

The service is intended to provide childcare at short notice/short-term childcare when the child’s usual childcare provider is unavailable or in special cases, such as during consultation hours, work meetings, seminars, examination group meetings, library visits and committee meetings.

Children are brought to the facility by their parent(s) or a caregiver. They are then registered and their parents’ telephone numbers are noted. Parents must remain on the university premises, must be reachable by telephone and must be able to pick up their child at short notice if the child so desires or for any other reason.

Room(s)

In a large, bright room in part E of the building (room: E2.301), a beautifully furnished playroom has been created where children can feel completely at ease.

Light-coloured furniture and beautiful carpets create a friendly atmosphere. During childcare hours, the children have a wide range of play options. A wide variety of construction toys are available to the children on the construction carpet.

The children can give free rein to their creativity at the colouring and craft table. Board games, puzzles and books for children of all ages are also part of the play programme.

Playing makes you hungry and sometimes tired! Children can eat the food they have brought with them and quench their thirst at the dining table. To relax, laze around or listen to stories, the children can make themselves comfortable on a large sofa.

There is a separate toilet and changing table for the PUKis right next to the playroom.
