The Villa Kunterbunt day nursery is available so that parents can visit their hospitalised child in the patient's room in peace. Siblings can be looked after and kept busy there under the supervision of trained social pedagogues and volunteers. Villa Kunterbunt also relieves parents of hospitalised children if they have to attend appointments inside or outside the UKBB. Siblings of children who come to the UKBB for therapy are also very welcome during therapy times.
The Villa Kunterbunt has a wide range of toys as well as painting and craft materials for children of different age groups. It also operates a branch of the GGG Basel library. Books, audio books and games can be borrowed either from the villa or directly from the patients' rooms.
You will find Villa Kunterbunt on the ground floor on the way to the therapies.
Visiting and borrowing books, audio books and games is free of charge. Registration is not necessary. Children aged three and over are looked after - or on request.
Every Tuesday between 2 and 4 pm, two volunteers are present at the UKBB and visit the patients' rooms with the library trolley. This gives children and young people the opportunity to borrow a book of their choice directly from their room.
