Kinderkrippe Windrädli

Welcome

When a child is admitted to a daycare center, it is often the first time that they are confronted with a new environment without their parents or caregivers. In future, the child will spend a significant part of their everyday life in the "foreign" facility and for you as parents, this may be the first contact with such an institution. It is an important step to let go of your child. We are aware that you are entrusting your most precious child to us! It is therefore all the more important to us that we walk this path together, with the aim of accompanying your protégé carefully and lovingly.

About us

The Windrädli crèche in Zurich-Oerlikon was opened on December 1, 2000. Our 34-place facility offers full-day and part-time care for children aged three months to school age. The youngest children are looked after by an experienced team in an infant group up to the age of two. We look after children up to the age of six in two mixed-age groups.

• Our nursery offers all children - regardless of origin, gender and social status - a place and individual learning and development opportunities.
Children have the right to recognition of their individuality
• Children are active learners.
• Children learn in social contexts.
• Children are encouraged to act responsibly without coercion

Settling in

The settling-in period is extremely important for the child, the parents, the staff and the children's group. The first meeting serves to get to know each other. For two to three weeks, a parent or caregiver accompanies the child for part of the day. The times are determined in consultation with the group leader.

Interested parents can request (or download) the registration form for the waiting list. As soon as a placement is possible, we will contact you to invite you for a detailed initial interview. Following the interview, you will have the opportunity to visit our facility. After a set period of reflection, your child will be accepted by signing the childcare contract and operating regulations. In the case of subsidized places, the SBU (subsidized scope of care) and the BF(contribution factor confirmation) are a prerequisite for the conclusion of the contract. Both can be obtained at www.stadt-zuerich.ch/meinkonto
