Step-by-step procedure
Section actions
- 1Choose the type of reception you want to look for: collective nursery, family nursery, micro-crèche or other local structure.
- 2Consult the service of your municipality and the Monenfant.fr directory to find the establishments and their contacts.
- 3Ask each structure for its schedule, parts and allocation criteria. There is no national waiting period.
- 4File the application according to the local procedure and keep the proof of filing. Indicate the desired dates and times if the form provides for this.
- 5Ask for the fee before signing: it depends on the type of structure, its funding rules and, as the case may be, the household's resources.
- 6Check separately the Caf/CMG aids applicable to the mode of care and your situation; they do not apply uniformly to all nurseries.
- 7In case of absence of space, compare other structures and modes of custody, then file a new application according to the municipality's instructions.
Common mistakes
Section actions
- Wait to file the file without checking the registration dates of the municipality.
- Applying for only one nursery — more chances by multiplying.
- Do not provide QF CAF — maximum rate applied.
- To believe that the crèche is free for active parents — paying, the CMG covers only one part.
- Do not study the maternal assistant as an alternative — often faster and more flexible.
