Communicating clearly, including about costs

Pre-school costs 2026

The costs of toddler care (27 months-4 years) depend on your personal situation. A distinction is made between working parents who are entitled to childcare allowance from the Tax Administration and non-working parents who are not entitled to childcare allowance. In this chart, we list them for you.

NoN-working parents

Non-working parents pay an income-related contribution for toddler care/VE. The amount of this contribution depends on your/your gross income.
In addition to an income-dependent contribution, a supplement of € 0.37 per hour applies for all hours a child attends toddler care/VE.

working parents

Working parents pay €11,60 per hour for preschool/VE. You receive childcare allowance over the maximum hourly rate set by the government (€11,23). The amount of the childcare allowance depends on your/your income.

If the GGD has issued a VE-indication, the 8 additional hours of preschool are subsidised by the local council; only a surcharge of €0.37 per hour will be charged for these hours. You will not receive any childcare allowance for this.

The above rates are:

  • Including food.
  • Including nappies and care products.
  • Charged in 12 monthly instalments, rounding differences with the gross monthly price reserved.
