Step-by-step procedure
Section actions
- 1Contact your town hall or structure for registration rules, local calendar and waiting list.
- 2File the file and supporting documents requested by the municipality or crèche. Parts and deadlines vary locally.
- 3Ask what method of pricing applies. The crèches financed according to the national scale calculate the rate according to the resources and composition of the home; other structures set their own rates.
- 4Check with the Caf to see if you can benefit from the CMG for the chosen host mode. Conditions differ depending on the type of custody.
- 5If there is no room available, compare a family nursery, a micro-crèche, a registered kindergarten assistant or a home care worker.
- 6When a seat is offered, read the contract and confirm the hours, absences, leave and the amount to be paid.
- 7Refresh the file if your address, schedule or family situation changes.
Common mistakes
Section actions
- Drop it too late and hope that a place will be released quickly.
- Do not apply for the CMG from the first month of custody.
- Watch only the nursery while the kindergarten assistant or the micro-crèche can be more realistic.
