The acquisition of the equipment was financed by the Student Administration Hanover and the university. Parents can make use of this room to look after their children themselves or make an arrangement with other users and organise a reciprocal child care. The access to the Spatzennest is possible via a warrant, which can be attained by interested parents at the equal opportunities officer. You can only get the key from the porter by producing the warrant. Furthermore, there are special house rules for this care room. It is designed to prevent that the room from being alienated.
