Childminder (dagplejer) 0-4 years of age
A childminder looks after a small group of children from 0-4 years of age in his or her own home. The information on this site is regarding the municipal childminders employed by the City of Aarhus.
Together with 3-4 other children your child will be looked after by the same person in the childminder's own home.
A group of childminders and their children meet for playgroup approximately once a week. Here, the children are able to join in various activities with a larger group of children.
If your everyday childminder is absent your child can be looked after by a substituting childminder known by the child or by another childminder in the same area.

Aarhus City Council decided in 2022 that childminding (dagplejen) in Aarhus is only an offer for children aged 0-4 years.
This means that a child who was taken care of by a childminder on January 1st 2022 can continue with this childminder until the last day of the month in which the child turns 4. You can, however, choose when the child should transfer to kindergarten at the age of 3-4. The child cannot continue at the childminder after the date you have chosen as the date of need for a place in a kindergarten.
An example
Asger was born on 21 January 2019 and is taken care of by a childminder. He has been signed up for a kindergarten place starting on June 1st 2022. He is offered a place from June 1st 2022, which the parents choose to decline. Asger's last day with the childminder is May 31 2022, and he no longer has municipal care on June 1st 2022.
Any changes in the date of need for kindergarten must be notified with the current month + 2 months.
An example
Bente was born on February 14, 2019, and she was enrolled in kindergarten on March 1st, 2022. During the fall of 2021, Bente's parents think that Bente would be better off waiting to start kindergarten until June 1, 2022. Bente's parents can change Bente's date of need to 1 June 2022 by 31 December 2021 at the latest; if they only change the date on 1 January 2022 or later, Bente will still be offered a kindergarten place starting on 1. 1 March 2022, and she can no longer continue in daycare after this day.
