From 1 May 2025, an amendment to the law on the provision of childcare services in a children’s group comes into force. The amendment introduces a new type of childcare – a neighbourhood playgroup, which can be provided by a qualified person in a small group of up to four children, including in their own home.
From 1 May 2025, an amendment to the law on the provision of childcare services in a children’s group came into force. It brings new types of care, an extension of the age range of children and greater administrative simplification for operators. The changes aim to increase the availability of childcare groups and make it easier to set up new facilities.
The amendment makes it possible to provide new care not only for children from 6 months to the start of compulsory schooling, but also for children up to 12 years of age if they have a disability or their parents work in shift work. It also introduces new forms of care: a ‘micro-group’ for up to four children and a ‘neighbourhood playgroup’, which can be run by an ordinary natural person without the need to set up an organisation.
The law significantly simplifies the process of registration and management of children’s groups – for example, it introduces an electronic application for registration and abolishes some administrative obligations. It should now be easier for parents to find available groups through an online overview. The aim of the amendment is to increase the capacity and availability of pre-school care, especially in regions where it has been lacking.
