Children at the Children's University graduation
What happens if my child completes an activity but doesn’t have a passport with them?​

If your child doesn’t have their passport with them, they can ask the Learning Destination to fill out a Learning Credit Slip, which can be attached to their passport.  ​These have been emailed out to all Learning Destinations and are also available to download here 

Do I have to pay for the activities for my child to get stamps?​

We are always looking for ways your child can earn stamps at low or no cost. Activities such as our challenges do not cost anything, but if you attend sessions at our Learning Destinations, you will pay in the same way you would if your child wasn’t a part of Children’s University. ​

Do I have to pay for my child to attend the graduation?​

Nope! The graduation is free to attend for both your child and their guests! 

Can my child earn stamps doing activities or clubs that aren’t Learning Destinations?

Unfortunately, this is not possible, as there is a validation process that we go through with all Learning Destinations to ensure they meet our requirements.

However, if your child attends a club that is not currently a Learning Destination, please click here and nominate them so we can contact them and see if they would like to become one!

Please do not stamp the passport if it has not been validated, as this is an important part of our safeguarding policy and process. ​

Can I backdate stamps for activities earned before joining CU? ​

Unfortunately, we cannot backdate stamps for activities earned before joining CU.

Who can I contact if I need help?​

If your child is part of the Children’s University through their school, your first contact will be your school’s Children’s University lead, but I am always happy to answer any questions!
