Price of communal creche in Brussels

Question

I understand that the price of public creches in Brussels is regulated and is thus a function of parents' income. Does anyone have any more details about how the price is determined or what the maximum price is?

ask the creches, it will differ per commune, also priorities will differ per commune too. At a guess the maximum price at a communal creche will be 600 euro a month.

Unless you are on a low income, or some other priority group, you haven't a good chance of getting a place at all. The cost goes from about €50/month for a single mum on minimum wage to very similar to a private creche for anyone with a "normal" income.

Hi,
i am actually in charge of a communal crèche.
What is mandatory is that you sign up in the crèche of your commune.
Prices do not differ per commune.
If it is communal (and not private) prices per day will be the same no matter what crèche.
minimum per day is 2,31
maximum per day is 32,68

PRICE is calculated on the NET revenue of the household
this includes all income pay checks, unemployment benefits etc.

In brussels, there are not enough day cares for the demands.
So there are waiting lists.
However your income does not influence your spot on the waiting list!
Priority families will be those with adopted children, or those with difficult social situations.
If you cannot find a creche, a prégardiennat is a good back up.
Pregardiennat is also communal, same prices. Only difference to a creche, it is for children aged 18months to 3. If you are interested, make sure you sign up your child when he is 9months old as before it is not possible and after, you will be further on the waiting list.
If you have any other question, do not hesitate
