Backup Day-Care Service Available Again

The day-care service Leibniz Kids for children of LUH students and staff is available again – either by the hour or on a daily basis

Limitations regarding day-care facilities implemented by the state government of Lower Saxony have been relaxed. Therefore, the backup service Leibniz Kids provided by Leibniz University Hannover is available again.

The backup service is available for children of LUH students and staff aged 12 or younger. Childcare can only be provided for a limited number of children and under certain conditions. Childcare is available at short notice - either by the hour or on a daily basis.

Eligibility criteria:

  • Parents working in essential roles in fields of general public interest ("key workers")
  • Children requiring care due to decisions reached by the government office for youth welfare in the best interest of the child
  • Threat of termination or significant loss of earnings for at least one parent
  • Other cases of hardship (please give reasons)

Furthermore, parents must confirm that

  • there are no alternative day-care options available for their child/children
  • their child/children is/are healthy

The backup service must be booked in advance by calling +49 511 700 200 0. Outside of office hours, please call the free service hotline (0800 801 007 080).

For each child, the backup service Leibniz Kids is available for a maximum period of 10 days per year. In urgent cases, approval for additional days may be granted.

Written confirmations for LUH staff

Leibniz University Hannover maintains operations in education and research. Therefore, members of staff work in fields of general public interest. Upon request, the LUH Family Service issues written confirmations for parents wishing to make use of the Leibniz Kids backup service or emergency childcare services offered by their regular childcare provider.
