Childcare for Saturday Exams – for Students and Exam Supervisors

The Department of Equal Opportunity and Diversity and its collaboration partner, Agentur Farbenfroh, have created a new childcare service near the campus to make it easier for students and examination supervisors to participate in Saturday exams. On the five Saturdays in the spring semester 2025, on which examinations take place (31 May, 7 June, 14 June, 23 August and 30 August), Agentur Farbenfroh offers professional childcare for children aged one to twelveyears in the Parent-and-Child room in B6, 30–32. The service is free of charge.

The child care service is offered on the Saturdays, on which examinations take place, between 7:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. in the Parent-and-Child room (room 016 / B6, 30–32 / 68159 Mannheim). If possible, at the time of registration, please let us know the time frame you might need childcare.

The Agentur Farbenfroh specializes in mobile childcare and has many years of experience in the field of children's entertainment. The existing material of the Parent-and-Child room will be supplemented with age-appropriate play and handicraft material. There will be a portfolio of opportunities for children. At the creative table, children can paint and craft. Face painting or glitter tattoos turn the time spent at childcare into an absolute highlight and board games are also a part of the day. Depending on the age/weather and length of stay, a small treasure hunt may also be organized. At the end, each child also gets a balloon animal.

The childcare team of Agentur Farbenfroh includes fully trained diploma educators, childcare providers, or former children’s entertainers from holiday clubs. In addition, many prospective educators (students of teacher education programs), who have already gained practical experience in the field of children and adolescents, are also working at Farbenfroh.

Please provide your children with a varied lunch package, depending on the hours of care required. Only small snacks are provided. Please inform us of food intolerances when registering.

Please register with Frank Degler by sending an e-mail to betreuung.sgudmail-uni-mannheim.de no later than ten days before the examination date.

Please note that the number of childcare spots is limited. We recommend to register as early as possible.
