Reconciling their personal and professional lives, and in particular finding childcare during working hours, is a growing challenge for parents.

Where to find us
You can register your child for full-time or part-time care (morning or afternoon), and drop them off and pick them up according to your needs and at your own convenience.
High-quality supervision
With their friendly family atmosphere, our crèches make sure your child feels welcome. Small groups foster emotional bonding and mutual trust with educational staff. By respecting every child's individual personality, ideas and dignity, we enhance their self-esteem and independence. Social and educational activities adapted to the child's own particular pace of learning support their development, foster the acquisition of motor skills and encourage creativity (baking, building, drawing, outings, etc.). Children are encouraged to play outdoors, be active and explore the natural world all year round.
A Luxembourgish-speaking environment
All children are welcome, regardless of their background or culture. The lingua franca in our crèches is Luxembourgish. This promotes the social integration of children of different nationalities, languages and cultures, and strengthens social cohesion in a multilingual context. For children who will go on to a Luxembourgish public school, learning the local language helps them to enter this new phase with confidence.
A committed and qualified team
A motivated team of qualified educators, paediatric nurses and helpers are constantly committed to the well-being of your child during their time at the crèche. 80% of the staff hold a qualification in social and educational development, and specialise in caring for babies and young children.
High-quality meals
Professional cooks works closely with a team of dieticians to prepare balanced meals and snacks using fresh, seasonal foods.
The City's crèches hold the "Gesond iessen, Mei bewegen" quality label for their efforts in promoting a healthy diet.
- A balanced diet: Every meal is balanced in terms of essential nutrients, following age-appropriate recommendations. Fruits, vegetables, proteins, carbohydrates and dairy products are carefully included in the menus each day.
- Quality of ingredients: We focus on using high-quality, organic, certified, fresh and seasonal ingredients. These are sourced locally or from within the Greater Region whenever possible.
- Food safety: We place great importance on creating a positive environment around food, encouraging children to explore new tastes, cuisines, textures and foods while learning the importance of a balanced diet.
If a child has specific nutritional needs, as confirmed by a doctor, they will be provided with special meals.
Living space
The equipment and teaching materials used are designed with little ones in mind: they are adapted to their size, promote their autonomy and encourage their natural curiosity. All crèches comply with the relevant health and safety requirements. The municipal crèches all have large playgrounds.

Rates adapted to your finances thanks to the childcare service voucher scheme
The Chèque-Service Accueil (childcare service voucher – CSA) scheme entitles recipients to three hours of free childcare and/or a certain number hours of childcare at moderate rates for children under 13, or who have not completed primary education. The parents' financial contribution to the nursery is based on their income and the number of children enrolled. Enrolment of the child with the CSA scheme is mandatory.
Adaptation
Provision is made for a period of adaptation when children are first admitted. This means that one of the parents can be present while the child gradually gets used to life at the crèche before full admission.
Practical details regarding the organisation and operation of the crèche will be provided when the child is admitted.
