Day care rates.

The above rates are valid from January 1 to December 31, 2026.

• The government rate for daycare is € 11.23 per hour. This is the amount used to calculate the childcare allowance from the Tax Authorities.
• Additional childcare is possible, but depends on staff scheduling and the relevant legislation. This will be charged at the 40-week hourly rate.
• Daycare is provided in full-day units (7:30 - 18:30). Some branches also offer half-days. A morning half-day is from 7:30 to 13:00 and an afternoon halfday is from 13:00 to 18:30. 
• For the twelve weeks of school holidays, we are in line with the official school holidays for state region South. During holiday times, we may combine groups, and childcare may be provided at different branches.

If you let us know in good time that your child will not attend, you will receive cancellation credits for those hours. You can use the cancellation credits to request additional childcare on a day other than a contracted day. We can allocate this childcare if there is space and the request aligns with our schedule. It is our way of offering a degree of flexibility as an added feature in our range of services. Find more information here.
