What is a municipal nursery?

A municipal nursery, also known as a “nursery communale,” plays an important role for young families throughout Luxembourg and neighbouring countries. 
Run or supervised by local communes, municipal family nurseries offer a warm and inclusive environment for children aged 2 months to 4 years old. Their mission is to support children’s early skills development through a playful yet structured daily routine.
Under the guidance of qualified educators, children participate in various activities tailored to their respective age groups. Activities range from creative arts and outdoor play to language exposure and sensory exploration.
One of the key strengths of a municipal nursery is its accessibility. Registrations are usually open to all residents, with the system prioritising children of working parents and families residing within the commune. Fees are income-based, ensuring affordability for everyone.

How does the municipal nursery work?

The municipal nursery is a structure specially designed to accommodate young children, generally from 2 months to 4 years old. Children are welcomed in an environment adapted to their age, promoting their social, emotional, and intellectual development. Municipal nurserys have qualified staff, notably childcare assistants, educators of young children, but also childcare nurses and parental assistants to look after toddlers.

Children welcomed and places available

Municipal nurserys accommodate a limited number of children, depending on the size of the structure, the municipality concerned, and the resources available. The limited number of places ensures quality individual attention, ensuring that each child receives the care and attention they need to thrive and grow safely and at their own pace.

What are the prices for municipal nurserys and is there any financial aid?

The price of the municipal nursery depends on the city and the financial situation of the families. Municipalities generally offer a price scale based on parents’ income. This approach ensures accessibility to this childcare service for all families, regardless of their financial situation.

What are the steps to enroll a child in a municipal nursery?

To register a child in a municipal nursery, parents must generally contact the municipality of residence. The procedures vary from one municipality to another, but they generally involve filling out a registration form and providing the necessary documents, such as the child's health record and information on the family situation.

What are the advantages of the municipal nursery?

  • Quality of service: Municipal nurserys are managed by the municipality, which guarantees quality monitoring and high standards in terms of care and education.
  • Professional supervision: Children are looked after by qualified staff, which promotes their good development and ensures a secure and caring environment.
  • The development of a social life for children: Municipal nurserys provide a setting conducive to socialization, such as in a garden or playground, allowing children to form links with their peers from a very young age. This makes it easier for them to integrate into basic school when the time comes.
  • Attractive prices: Prices adapted according to family income make this childcare service accessible to all families.
  • Support for parents: Municipal nurserys also provide support to parents by offering advice and information on the child's development.
     

Private nurserys and after-school KidsCare clubs: The ideal childcare solution for your children

KidsCare is a network of nurserys and private day homes in Luxembourg. We offer childcare solutions for children from 2 months to 12 years old. Indeed, our nurserys welcome toddlers up to 4 years old, and our after-school clubs take care of your children from 4 to 12 years old, outside school hours and during school holidays. We also provide meals when necessary, made with fresh, organic ingredients while respecting any dietary restrictions your child may have.
Our childcare facilities offer an alternative to families looking for a flexible, high-quality childcare solution. Private after-school clubs have the same advantages as municipal after-school clubs:

  • The quality of service and the educational project: We support your children in their learning and development using a caring and unique educational approach. We advocate educational approaches such as those of Maria Montessori and Emmi Pikler. In addition, we offer multilingual education - French, English, Luxembourgish - which is a real boon for the future training of your children.
  • Professional supervision: With a team of dedicated professionals and approaches adapted to each child, nurserys and private after-school KidsCare clubs strive to create a warm and stimulating environment for children of all ages.
  • The development of social life for children: Within the KidsCare structure, children can socialize and begin to create real friendships with others!
  • Adapted prices: Nurseries and private after-school clubs in the KidsCare network are eligible for the reception service check! Parents can then benefit from a reduced rate for their childcare solution. The CSA is paid directly to the establishment welcoming young children. As parents, all you have to do is pay the remaining part, which has been established based on your family situation and your income.
  • Support for parents: All our teams remain available to parents to support and guide them if necessary. Also, we have implemented the Kidizz application, a tool that improves the link between families and reception structures. It allows you to follow your little one's day, see key moments, and communicate, if necessary, with the educational team currently in the building. It's simple and free!
