Parenting rooms
King’s is committed to providing rest, breastfeeding/expressing and changing facilities at all of our campuses to support parents working, studying or visiting the university.
Six private and welcoming Parenting Rooms are available to anyone who needs to attend to the caring needs of a child, including feeding and changing. There are also facilities for breastfeeding mothers to express milk.
The rooms include nursing chairs, fridges, sterilising facilities, baby changing facilities, kettles and hand sanitising products. The rooms are lockable; access details are provided below.
This web page will be updated as additional Parenting Rooms are established.
