Homely and reassuring
Calmness, light and a warm, homely atmosphere are at the heart of our centre. We work with horizontal groups, so activities and spaces perfectly match each child’s developmental stage. The bedrooms are directly connected to the group rooms, providing extra overview and a sense of security. Our childcare professionals offer plenty of personal attention and care.
Playing and exploring in green surroundings
There is plenty of space both indoors and outdoors for children to play and explore. The centre features a lovely enclosed garden with a separate baby garden, ensuring that every child can safely enjoy time outside. The green surroundings encourage movement, discovery and relaxation.Healthy and caring
Every day, we prepare fresh and healthy meals in our own kitchen. This way, we not only create a pleasant day, but also contribute to each child’s development and wellbeing.Easy to reach
The centre is easily accessible by car, bike and on foot. With ample free parking available, parents can conveniently drop off and pick up their child.

Frequently asked questions about our childcare
To increase the chances of securing a spot, we recommend enrolling your child as soon as possible at our childcare. We take your preferences into account during our planning and strive to fulfill your wishes to the best of our ability.
That depends on various factors including preferred days, how many days you need, and how flexible you are. For example, the likelihood of a placement becoming available for one day is greater than three or four days becoming available in one go. The more flexible you are as a parent, the greater the likelihood that we will be able to offer you a place.
If you’re seeking a place quickly, we’d be happy to look at the options available in our schedule. At the busier locations, we often work approximately four months ahead, so it can take some time before you hear from us. If there’s a waiting list, we rely on cancellations/schedule changes for new places to become available.
Are you pregnant and looking for a place in the longer term? We have horizontal groups at Kindergarden and this affects how far ahead we can plan. Horizontal means that children move on to the next group at a certain time. As we take a child’s development and age and the days that a child spends at the daycare center into account, we plan four to six months ahead, depending on how busy the center is. A schedule can also change a lot. Factors that influence this include registration of siblings (they are given priority), schedule changes for children who already have a placement (switching days or increasing the number of days), and cancellations.
