When organizing work, studies and family care work, individual questions and concerns often arise. In our confidential consultation for university members (students and personnel), we are available to you as contact persons in the context of compatibility and will find solutions with you or provide you with further information and addresses. We work in a large network with internal and external cooperation partners. Your data will only be passed on in accordance with your needs and after consultation in individual cases.

Consultation can take place by e-mail, telephone or in person.

You are also welcome to send us your request in advance by e-mail via familienservice@hs-niederrhein.de.

The Hochschule Niederrhein attaches great importance to the compatibility of family and/or studies and career. As part of the "Family-friendly university" audit, we have set ourselves the task of supporting our academics, employees and students with childcare.

For this reason, we have been offering childcare places for children aged 0-3 years in the daycare center "MaxiMUMM" in Krefeld in cooperation with the daycare provider "Mumm Familienservices GmbH" since fall 2018. The daycare center in Krefeld is located at Ispelsstraße 60, between the Krefeld West and Krefeld South Campuses.

Since 2020, The Hochschule Niederrhein has also been offering childcare places for children aged 0-3 at the Mönchengladbach campus in cooperation with the daycare provider "Mumm Familienservices GmbH". The childcare places are available at the "MUMMI" daycare center at Bruckner Allee 14-16, near the campus in Mönchengladbach. If no capacities are available here, the cooperation partner will look for a suitable alternative for you.

You can find more information about the two daycare centers mentioned above on the website of the provider "Mumm Familienservice gGmbH": https: //mumm-mg.de/.

The placement of a U3-occupancy place is handled exclusively by The Hochschule Niederrhein.

Would you like to register for a place or receive more information?
Then please contact us by e-mail at familienservice@hs-niederrhein.de or by phone at 02151 822 3643 .

In general, we recommend that you contact us no later than the fall/winter of the previous year in which the childcare is scheduled to begin on 01.08.
We also recommend that you apply for alternative places in parallel through the usual channels.

University employees have access to a parent-child workroom at each of the two locations, which can be used by parents together with their child/children. The rooms are equipped with a PC workstation, breastfeeding pillows and play facilities, and are each connected to a nappy-changing room.

You can book the parent-child workrooms online via the library (forwarding by clicking on the rooms). You will need your library credentials to make the reservation. If you do not yet have a library card, you can have one issued during service hours at the library on your campus. They will be happy to help you there.

To support university members who bring their child(ren) to the university, designated parent-child parking spaces are available at the Krefeld South Campus and Krefeld West Campus. Short-term use of the parking lot by parents who drop off their child(ren) at a childcare facility on their way to the university is not planned due to limited capacity.

We would like to extend a warm welcome to newborns of university members (students, personnel). The application for an HSNR baby welcome package can be submitted to the family service by the university-affiliated parent after the birth of the child. As soon as the package is ready, we will contact you to make an individual appointment for pick-up in Krefeld South or Mönchengladbach.

Feel free to submit your application via one of the following ways:

1. by mail (Hochschule Niederrhein, family service, Reinarzstr. 49, 47805 Krefeld)
2. digitally as a scan by e-mail to familienservice@hs-niederrhein.de.

You can find the application forms in the right column under Downloads.

At the locations in Krefeld and Mönchengladbach, there are freely accessible changing rooms that can be used by both relatives and guests of the university. If you would like to breastfeed or feed your child in peace, you can retreat to our breastfeeding and quiet rooms.

We have two play corners.
One game corner is located in the library at the Krefeld South Campus.
The second play corner is located in the library at the Mönchengladbach campus.

In the play corners there are

• a comfortable beanbag chair
• a large play box with games for small and older children (up to about 8 years)
• movement games on the wall (Mönchengladbach)
• a digital game screen on the wall (Krefeld-Süd)

When redesigning our outdoor areas, we make sure that they also invite families
to linger.
