Private childcare

Your child can attend a private childcare institution. A private daycare may be a childminder (dagpleje) where your child is cared for in a private home by a childminder who is approved by the municipality. It can also be a private nursery (vuggestue), a private kindergarten (børnehave), or a combination of the two.

HOW TO APPLY

If you wish for your child to attend a private daycare, you need to contact the institution directly. Private daycares administer their own waiting lists and have their own criteria for admission. Therefore, the municipality cannot allocate a place in a private daycare.

COST OF CHILDCARE SERVICES

Prices for private childcare institutions are individual. You may be eligible for childcare subsidy.
