In quantum cosmology the closed universe can spontaneously nucleate out of the state with no classical space and time. The semiclassical tunneling nucleation probability can be estimated as $\emph{P}\sim\exp(-\alpha^2/\Lambda)$ where $\alpha$=const and $\Lambda$ is the cosmological constant. In classical cosmology with varying speed of light $c(t)$ (VSL) it is possible to solve the horizon problem, the flatness problem and the $\Lambda$-problem if $c=sa^n$ with $s$=const and $n<-2$. We show that in VSL quantum cosmology with $n<-2$ the semiclassical tunneling nucleation probability is $\emph{P}\sim\exp(-\beta^2\Lambda^k)$ with $\beta$=const and $k>0$. Thus, the semiclassical tunneling nucleation probability in VSL quantum cosmology is very different from that in quantum cosmology with $c$=const. In particular, it can be strongly suppressed for large values of $\Lambda$. In addition, we propose the instanton which describes the nucleation of closed universes in VSL models. This solution is akin to the Hawking-Turok instanton in the means of O(4) invariance but, unlike to it, is non-singular. Moreover, using this solution we can obtain the probability of nucleation which is suppressed for large value of $\Lambda$ too.
