University of Sussex, Childcare Centre
The centre provides a stimulating environment encouraging children to explore through play
Sited in an area of outstanding natural beauty and adjacent to the University of Sussex’ listed campus buildings, the childcare centre provides a stimulating setting for over 100 children.
The BREEAM Excellent rated design comprises a series of spacious light-filled rooms for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers to explore and learn through play.
The rooms are fully equipped with age appropriate facilities and the latest technology, including touchscreen interfaces. A large interactive outdoor play area provides an adventure garden, water play, bike tracks and planting area.
The much needed facility, which has twice been recognised by a leading early years awards programme, enables students and employees to attend the university with the knowledge that their children are safely cared for on campus.
