Welcome Campus Mum, we’re Saira, Emma and Kim — three mums with 8 children between us, and the founders of Campus Mum.

Between us, we’ve experienced boarding school life, university transitions, international moves, and the real emotions of sending our children out into the world. 

Helping your child feel settled, supported, and able to thrive from day one. 

Our Story

Saira

Mum of four. 

When two of her children went off to university, she realised something important: 

even though they were only a few hours away, they still needed her — for everyday help, emotional support, guidance, and reassurance.

Emma

Mum of three. 

Having navigated both boarding school and university life with her children, she understood the huge gap families feel when children start this new chapter — especially when parents can’t be nearby. 

Kim ​

Mum of one. 

Kim moved to the UK herself as an international student from China. 

She understands first-hand the challenges, pressure, loneliness, and cultural differences international students face — and now, as a parent, she also understands the worry and distance families feel when supporting a child studying overseas. 

Her personal journey is at the heart of our mission to give international families true peace of mind.
