Finding and implementing the appropriate company childcare offer is first a question of correct evaluation and planning. Above all, a needs analysis is essential. The survey of the number of employee children, one survey the employee or parent, an environment analysis and a location evaluation gives an overview of which offer can be the right one. As a result, the decision for a concept and the selection of an operator are available. It is also important to keep an eye on the budget and the different legal requirements in the individual federal states, or to take them into account in good time. For successful implementation, timely communication with the target group must also be ensured, as parents often plan childcare well in advance. The employer can offer childcare in the form of a company kindergarten, company day-parents, day-to-day or event-based childcare, care during the holiday periods or occupancy or cooperation in or with other childcare facilities.
