Nursery spot reservation: Everything you need to know

Reserving a nursery spot is an important milestone in your child’s development, and it often requires careful planning and organisation. With high demand in many areas and several factors to consider, making a decision can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming for some parents.
The key to securing a nursery spot reservation is to have clear information from the start. That’s why we’ll walk you through each step of the registration process, from when to start looking to the documents you’ll need, so you can move forward with confidence.

Why is reserving a Nursery Spot early essential?

In Luxembourg, nursery spots in popular areas or for specific schedules are in high demand. That’s why it’s highly recommended that you start your search as early as possible, ideally during pregnancy.
Planning and searching early gives you plenty of time to take a tour of different facilities, compare educational pedagogies or planned activities, and get a feel for the overall atmosphere.

When should you reserve a nursery spot?

To maximise your options and ensure a smooth start for your child, it’s best to start searching for a creche 6 to 12 months in advance. This gives you more than enough time to familiarise yourself with the facility and organise paperwork.
Depending on your chosen location and the time of year, reserving a spot can take anywhere from several weeks to a few months. The more nurseries you consider, the more time you should give yourself so you can weigh your options carefully.

How to do a nursery spot reservation at a KidsCare Nursery

For a KidsCare nursery spot reservation, please fill out our online pre-registration form or call us at 2899 2899-400. You can access our online form after selecting the KidsCare structure closest you.

  • Note: You can pre-register online in several nurseries, but you’ll need to submit a separate form for each location.

Once we hear from you, a dedicated KidsCare advisor will contact you (in your preferred language) to discuss your needs and provide tailored information based on the location(s) you select.
After the initial contact, it’s time to schedule your first on-site visit. Your child doesn’t need to be present during this time. We’ll organise another adaptation meeting later so they can familiarise themselves with the team and their new environment.
During your visit, you’ll meet our educational team and have the opportunity to ask them questions. You can also observe the rooms and explore the general setting in which your child will spend their time while in our care.
If you’re happy after your tour, your dedicated KidsCare advisor will support you in finalising the registration.

What documents and information are required?

To apply at one of our KidsCare locations, you’ll need the following documents:

  • Birth certificate
  • Proof of address
  • Proof of income
  • Medical certificate
  • Vaccination record

Please note that this list isn’t exhaustive and may change over time. Your professional KidsCare advisor will guide you throughout the entire registration process.
