Nursery prices in Luxembourg in 2025: rates, assistance and concrete examples
The cost of a daycare in Luxembourg varies based on several factors, including the type of facility (public or private), the number of hours of care, and the parents' income level. Between hourly rates, government subsidies, and differences between municipalities, it can be difficult to navigate.
In this article, discover:
average prices in 2025 for a place in a private nursery,
the operation of the Reception Service Check (CSA),
and how to carry out a personalized simulation with your municipality.
How much does a private nursery cost in Luxembourg?
In 2025, hourly rates for private daycare centers are generally between €7 and €8 per hour, depending on the services offered.
These rates may or may not include certain services, such as:
the layers provided,
morning and afternoon snacks,
educational activities,
or even outings and visits outside.
Thus, full-time care (around 60 hours per week) can represent a gross monthly cost of between €1,300 and €2,000, depending on the hours booked and the services chosen.
⚠️ Important: This is not what parents actually pay.
What families really pay: the impact of the Home Service Voucher (CSA)
The Chèque-Service Accueil (Home Service Voucher) is a public aid program offered by the Luxembourg government to make childcare more affordable. It is available to families residing in the Grand Duchy and, in some cases, to cross-border workers.
The amount of aid depends on several criteria:
household income,
the number of dependent children,
the hourly volume of care,
the chosen structure.
Concrete examples:
A low-income family can pay as little as €300 per month for 60 hours per week.
A family with a significantly higher income may have a remaining cost of around €1,200 per month for the same hours.
Where to do the simulation?
The final rate simulation is done directly with the population office of your municipality (or the relevant municipal service). It will tell you what you will actually pay after deduction of CSA aid.
Main meal subsidy
It's important to note that daycare hourly rates generally do not include the main midday meal. However, the state also contributes to meal costs through the CSA (Social Assistance for Children and Families).
The State's financial participation is capped at:
€6 per hour for welcoming a child into an education and care service,
€4.50 per main meal, for a maximum of 5 meals per week.
Additional meals or meals during school holidays may be the responsibility of parents, depending on their financial situation and the specific conditions of the childcare facility.
In summary
The gross hourly rate for a private daycare is between €7 and €8.
The full-time monthly cost can range from €1,300 to €2,000.
Thanks to the Welcome Service Check, some families pay only €300.
The meal subsidy can reach up to €4.50 per main meal, for a maximum of 5 meals per week.
Personalized simulation is done jointly.
