While family life can be one of the most personally rewarding experiences in one’s life, it may come with a unique set of obstacles increasing one’s vulnerability to stress, financial issues, and decreased academic performance. There are also multiple challenges to parenting while at the university. The support listed below can help you through these difficulties.


Support at LSESU

At the LSESU, we administer a means-tested Childcare Fund which is designed to support students who are unable to afford basic childcare expenses, including the Right to Choose.


Support at LSE

Information on accommodation for families and families with children can be found here. Although the LSE Nursery is now closed, the School has partnered with three local Nurseries to provide services for students and staff.

If you get married while at LSE, you can request the change of name on university-related documents. More rules can be found here.


External Support

You can also get help with funding childcare from the government while you study if you are a UK student.
