Finding a place in a nursery: our advice for choosing the right one
Finding a quality, available daycare spot can be a real challenge for parents. If you've Googled phrases like daycare spots in Leudelange , daycare prices in Luxembourg , finding a daycare near me , or daycares with available spots , you've come to the right place!
There are many things to consider when visiting a childcare facility. How do you know if your child will be comfortable there? Will the staff meet their needs? Will they give you regular feedback on their progress? What if your child doesn't like daycare?
Step 1 – Make a list
Make a list of nearby nurseries or childcare facilities, using information available from your local authority or on the internet.
To be checked :
Opening hours
The hourly rate
If there are places available for your child
Location (proximity to your home or workplace)
Step 2 – Visit the pre-selected nurseries
It's important to visit several daycare centers to ask questions directly and observe the environment. Bring your child with you if possible; this can help you better plan ahead.
What to observe:
A trained, experienced and caring team
Busy, relaxed and smiling children
Clean, secure, welcoming premises with an outdoor space
A sensitivity to cultures and diversity
The educational concept
Varied activities adapted to the children's ages
Quiet moments and balanced physical activities
A warm welcome for you and your child
Questions to ask:
What is the staff-to-child ratio? How many children do you care for?
What are the qualifications of the staff?
What are the daily routines? Are they adaptable?
Do you have a referent system (primary adult responsible for each child)?
How do you deal with difficult behavior?
Do you provide meals, snacks, diapers or do I have to bring them?
Is the child growing at his own pace?
How do you manage sleep?
Step 3 – What your child will enjoy
Here's what kids usually like most:
Friends: A stable group to bond with
Meals: Convivial times, and the possibility of serving yourself
Outdoor exploration: A safe, well-landscaped outdoor space, preferably near parks and forests
Discover: Stimulating, well-thought-out activities
Feeling safe: Caring adults who comfort, listen and encourage
Step 4 – Check the quality
Make sure the daycare is licensed and supervised by the relevant authorities in Luxembourg. You can also read parents' reviews to learn about their experiences.
Step 5 – Reserve your place
Once you've found the right daycare, book a place for your child and arrange the details (times, start date, people authorized to pick them up, etc.). An adjustment period is usually offered to help the child gradually become familiar with their new environment.
And the prices? What you need to know
You may have Googled "Luxembourg daycare prices" or "Leudelange daycare rates" hoping to compare facilities. What you need to know is that rates are generally similar in most approved daycare centers in Luxembourg. The closer you get to the city center, the higher the rates.
However, the main difference lies in the fact that some facilities, like ours, accept the Chèque-Service Accueil (CSA) – a support program set up by the Luxembourg government. This support allows all families, depending on their income, to benefit from reduced rates for a quality daycare.
So, even if the listed price may seem high, the actual share paid by parents is often very affordable thanks to the CSA. It is an essential tool to allow each child to benefit from a caring, educational, and accessible welcome.
