The parental contributions or fees for childcare vary. They are set by the provider of the facility and can depend on
- the income of the parents,
- the number of children in a family and
- the duration of care.
For children from the 1st year of kindergarten until they start school, there is an entitlement to a parental contribution subsidy of 100 euros per month. The providers must reduce the fees by the amount of the subsidy.
With the income-dependent Bavarian crèche allowance, parents can be relieved of up to 100 euros per month in parental contributions from their child's first birthday if they actually pay them.
