Sign up your child for childcare

Sign your child up for a childminder, day nursery, kindergarten, or combined daycare and kindergarten. You can take advantage of the childcare services from when your child is 26 weeks old until your child starts school.

The guarantee of childcare in Aarhus

There are three guarantee districts in the municipality of Aarhus. You are guaranteed a daycare place within your guarantee district.

When and how to sign up your child

You can sign up your child for childcare when he or she has a CPR number.

You sign up your child digitally using the self-service solution Digital Placement (Digital Pladsanvisning).

Visit the childcare institutions

As a general rule, it is possible to visit the institution (day nursery, kindergarten og combined institution) or childminder (dagpleje) before you accept or decline an offer for a daycare place. It is always a good idea to contact the pedagogical head of the daycare institution in advance.

Before you get started

In the Digital Placement self service solution (Digital Pladsanvisning), you must know your school district and guarantee of childcare district (garantidistrikt), meaning the local area in which the institution your child usually would be taken care of is situated.
