You can have your child looked after temporarily by a childminder.

Every child is entitled to up to 25 hours of childcare per week starting on their first birthday. Under certain conditions, you may be able to have your child cared for by a childminder (childminder) for up to 60 hours per week.

If your child is not yet 1 year old and you are looking for work, you can have your child looked after for up to 20 hours per week for a maximum of six months.

The costs of care can be fully or partially covered for you. You can apply for reimbursement from the responsible authority.

• Completed application (online or in paper form)
• Copy of the identity documents (identity card, passport) of the parent or parents with custody who are registered with the child at a common residential address with headquarters.
• if applicable: proof of need from the General Social Services (ASD)

If you apply for care for more than 25 hours per week or if you need care before your child reaches the age of 1, you will also need:

• Proof of need (for example, pay slips or employer certificate to prove the extent of your work activity)

If you apply for care for more than 30 hours per week, you will also need:

• Completed questionnaire on financial circumstances (only if applying in paper form)
• Proof of income

• You have custody.
• You live with your child in a shared household and are registered there as your main residence.
• Your child has already turned 1 year old.
• Your child has not yet turned 14.
• Your child is not yet enrolled in school and does not attend preschool, or your child is already enrolled in school and does not attend full-day care.

If you wish to apply for care for more than 25 hours per week, at least one of the following conditions must also apply:

• You are employed or are completing vocational training or further education.
• They receive Hartz IV.
• You have immigrated to Germany and are attending a German language course or an integration course.
• There are other social or educational needs that make care necessary.

There are no costs for processing the application. Basic care of 25 hours per week is also free of charge. Costs may apply for longer periods of care. These depend on the actual scope of care and your income.

• You independently search for a suitable childminder to look after your child.
• You submit your application online, in writing or in person to the responsible authority.
• The responsible authority will examine your application and, if necessary, request any missing documents or information from you.
• If all requirements are met, care by the childminder you have chosen will be approved.
• The childminder receives the approved payments directly. They pay nothing or only a portion of the costs, the so-called parental contribution (also called “participation fee”).

Processing may take up to 10 weeks.

Due to the processing time, it is recommended that you submit your initial or new application as early as possible, but no earlier than 6 months before the desired start of care. Care can only be approved retroactively from the time the application is received by the responsible authority.
You must notify us immediately of any changes to the information you have provided.
You should submit a follow-up application at least 3 months before the end of the approval period. An extension can be granted retroactively up to the 1st of the month in which the application was made.

Care is usually granted for a maximum of one year.

If your child is already in care, the approval period is about to end and you want to continue to use the care, you must submit a follow-up application.
