Hello,
I am searching for a crèche for my 2 month baby girl....i did not know that i had to book while 3 months pregnant because i had just arrived in Belgium with my husband and son. Now i would like to start searching for a job and the private crèches are very expensive (650euros per month) and i can't afford that. I live in ixelles. Any advice and suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Evelyn,

Contact the child welfare services, they will surely offer you a list of nurseries or certified babysitters.

MArked as Brussels. 80% of creches in Brussels are inspected by ONE not Kind en Gezin.
You can find 99% of them on this website.

You just need to phone all the ones near you and email.

Hi Currylover,

Agree with O.N.E. but at O.N.E. it's easier to believe in 🎅 than to find someone who speak english...

Not in the experience of Bruxellois and Brusselaars. That is quite a racist remark in fact.

The Flemish public kribben in Brussels, all inspected by K&G, are often forbidden to speak anything other than Dutch, that is a fact.

A great proportion of K&G inspected creches in Brussels are in fact French as the language of use, simply because K&G allow a 9 to 1 ratio for babies and ONE allow a lower ratio.

It is best to go with an open mind and choose a creche you can get a place in which you like.
