Only problem with having your kid on campus is that in some places the campus creche (or whatever its called at that uni) fills up quite fast... I looked into it for Kiya at Waikato at one stage, there was a 5 month waiting list, and she'd go on it from when I started studying in the second semester!

wow - with ours, you can book them into it BEFORE you start to study - as far as i know there is up to a 2 year waiting list for ours.. only siblings get in easier, of course.

Thanks Ana about the ticker - i decided it was time for a change and Mike really liked that one - nice and bright.

Ana, you will defintely need to find out about the campus daycare. my girlfriend works for the one at massy - they have a eprcentage reserved for lecturers, a percetnage for full-timers, and a small percentage for part-timers and as Janine said, they fill up really quickly.

As for study - I love it and the work can be tough, but defintely NOT impossible to do with baby.

I've said before, but if you find a daycare you like check it out on
www.ero.govt.nz

it will give you the government report - whether it's dodgy or not.

I can tell you allllll about the Vic Uni creche Ana!!
They do have a huuuuuge waiting list, I booked Hannah in before she was born and still couldn't get in. Then I rang Jean (the manager) because I was getting desperate and she let me in It's all about pleading!

And once you are in it's sweet... you can change hours etc providing they are available.

There are a few good things about the ECE services at vic, there are heeeeeaps of creches... one at law school and three at Kelburn (and they are just for students, there are separate staff centres). And the nursery creche, for 0-2, are separated as well, so the 0-1s are down the baby end and the 1-2s are down the toddler end (usually from when they start to walk, or can hold their own against the bigger ones!)

As I've already told you, they are really careful with food. It is self catering, so you have to organise the kidlet's food, but that means that they don't eat anything they are allergic to. And they have a strict 'No nuts' policy, so no peanut butter or muesli bars etc. (Bit of a pain in the butt as Hannah loooves peanut butter, but necessary all the same).

Oh and.... you can have as many or as few hours per day as you like. You just set up hours based around your time table and they work with that. Last year I had crazy things like 10-12 and then 2-4 on the same day and it isn't a prob. Also if you need late hours you can arrange that easily too. (But usually only if you have a class)

Anything else you need to know just ask away!
