Our childcare facilities

We have our main playroom, and we also benefit from the extensive grounds on the University campus. Our outdoor classroom offers a great area for children to play, explore and connect to nature.

Psychology research

Psychology researchers at the University conduct innovative and world-leading child development research and teaching. We help support this research using a variety of approaches with our researchers and children, ranging from observational studies and free-play paradigms. When you register your child, you can decide whether or not you are happy for your child to participate in our research activities.
