Places in municipal daycare centers are rare. This is why it is often necessary to apply for registration during your pregnancy. If your child is looked after by a nanny or childminder and you would like a place in a crèche, here is a ready-made letter to print, complete and send.
Obtaining a place in daycare is not always easy. This is why it is recommended that future parents get started as early as possible, during pregnancy, in order to increase the chances of having a place for their future baby. In Paris, for example, it is recommended to take care of it from the sixth month. In some provincial towns, it is before the end of the first trimester that you have to start the process. Furthermore, in the event of moving or changing care arrangements, if your baby is looked after by a childminder or nanny and you wish to enroll them in a crèche, you must apply for registration as soon as possible. .
Generally, files are to be collected from the town hall at the start of the year, and a commission is used to allocate places. You should therefore, depending on the municipality, have a response in May or June. Furthermore, compiling a complete file accompanied by a cover letter can sometimes prove very useful. Here is an example of a letter to carry out a request for a place in a crèche from your town hall.
