Permission to provide child day care

In day care, children aged 0-14 years can be cared for.

A person who wants to care for one or more children outside the household of the legal guardian during part of the day and more than 15 hours a week for a fee for more than three months requires permission in accordance with the legal basis in the Eighth Book of the Social Code (SGB VIII). This is granted by the local youth welfare office, located in the districts or independent cities. The permit is limited to five years. It may be provided with ancillary provisions. The permit authorizes the care of up to five foreign children present at the same time.
