Home-based family day care has up to four children per childminder. Children are cared for by one familiar adult, with daily outdoor activity, exercise in nature and home-cooked meals. Childminders are trained, have pedagogical skills and work under municipal supervision.
Families can visit the childminder's home before choosing a place. A gradual start is available with a parent present during the first days. Applications are made through an online form.
