Care Room Parent-Child Room Voßstraße 5
General information
The parent-child room is located at Voßstraße 5 (Building 4211, 69115 Heidelberg) on the 4th floor (room R 4211.04.02) and is available to all academic and administrative staff, students and visiting scholars at Heidelberg University for self-organised childcare limited to the necessary period of care. It can be used for this purpose as a work and playroom as well as a breastfeeding or relaxation room. The opening hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The room is wheelchair accessible. Authorised users can choose either the right-hand ‘EG’ entrance (with 2-3 steps; then either take the stairs or the lift) or the left-hand ‘HOF’ entrance (with direct access
to the lift). The lift to the 4th floor can only be used with a pre-activated card (see under Booking). The card is not required to go down. Prams can be parked on the 4th floor in the corridor in front of the
parent-child room. The parent-child room has access to the Wi-Fi network, which allows you to work on your own laptops. The room has a desk, an armchair with a footstool, a changing table, a carpet
(please do not walk on it with shoes), a children's table with 2 chairs, a chest of drawers with toys for different age groups, a mobile cot and a lounger. The adjacent kitchenette can be used to prepare
bottles or warm up food brought from home.
Please note that the parent-child room provided is a multi-purpose room and not a childcare facility. Neither the room nor the rest of the building meet the increased structural and safety requirements for
childcare facilities. The parent-child room cannot be locked as it is an escape route. Please ensure that your child/children do not leave the room unnoticed. A ‘Busy’ sign, which is located on the desk in the
room, can be used to indicate that the room is currently occupied.
