In the nursery, children are mostly cared for in mixed-age groups of 12 children. Structures are lived in the groups and the daily routine is designed according to the needs of the children.

The educators have completed training in the field of childcare.

Every child determines the length of his or her own settling-in period.

Following the Berlin settling-in method, which we employ at our day care nursery, we start off with an entry meeting.
The purpose of the settling-in period ist to establish a stable relationship between your child and his or her personal carer. The sense of security made possible by a trustful relationship with the child carer is the foundation on which successful educational processes are built, and a healthy start for your child at our nursery.

In each of our two large-family groups we take care of a maximum of 10 children of between three months and 10 years of age. The age mix allows the kids to grow up together, to learn social skills in the company of both younger and older kids and to be part of a group.

It is basically the parents’ responsibility to obtain sufficient health, accident and liability insurance. For events and accidents that the care facility may be held liable for, the day care nursery has obtained extensive liability insurance.

Yes, of course. Our day care manager will be happy to give you more information.

In order to protect the other children, sick children cannot be taken care of in the nursery.

The rates at the Nursery are the same for every month, independent of the number of days the particular month has. Absences caused by illness, bank holidays or vacation are taken into account in the all-inclusive price.
