Mary Poppinz Childcare accepts children of all nations and denominations from 3 months to school age.
The total number of children admitted corresponds to the guidelines of the Uitikon Waldegg community.
The admission of the child becomes binding as soon as the present childcare contract has been signed by the parent(s) (here both the female and male form is meant, from now on referred to as “the parents”) and by the day nursery management and/or the management, and the deposit of one month day care payment has been fully paid.
By signing the contract, the legal guardians undertake to pay the childcare costs regularly and on time and to comply with the terms of the contract.
The legal guardians guarantee the continuous attendance of their child at the crèche.
Admissions are possible at any time. The day nursery management and executive board decide on the admission of a child. The following points are decisive for the decision on admission: available capacity, group composition, age of the child, date of registration as well as the desired weekly care time.
For educational reasons, we recommend that you let us look after your child for at least two full days. This is especially important so that the child can integrate into the group and get used to the daily routine of the day care centre.
The settling-in period is generally during 2 weeks before the day care begins.
The child stays in the day care centre for hours and is accompanied by his or her parents during the first few days. The settling-in plan is sent to the child in advance by the management of the nursery.
The aim is to ensure a gradual and safe transition from parental care to crèche care. The welfare of the child is always at the forefront.
Any extension of the settling-in period will be discussed with the legal guardians.
If the start date is postponed (if possible), 80% of the monthly fee will be charged until the new start date.
Parents or guardians are required to inform the group management / childcare centre management of any special features that are important for the care of the child. In particular, the day care centre must be informed about allergies, intolerances, sensitivities, any illnesses of the child or current infectious diseases of the family.

If, in exceptional cases, a child cannot be collected by the parents, the nursery management must be informed by whom and at what time the child will be collected.
In such cases, the persons collecting the child must identify themselves to the nursery.
If the parents cannot be reached at the usual telephone number, an emergency number must be left.
It is important that the parents keep to the agreed times.
The nursery place is booked for each week on a fixed basis. The reduction of the agreed days of care is subject to a two-month notice period.
A minimum stay of two days per week is required for a child to integrate into the group of children.
We also offer the possibility of short-term, additional support. However, the parents’ wishes can only be taken into account if sufficient childcare capacity is available. The registration must be requested in advance. There is no right to additional care or a guaranteed place for it.
In case of illness (e.g. fever above 38°C, flu or other infectious childhood diseases) the child must be kept at home. If the child falls ill during the day, the parents or guardians will be informed by telephone and the further procedure will be discussed with the group leader. However, a sick child must always go home as soon as possible. Sick children should be cared for at home and cannot be brought to the nursery. A child must be healthy without medication, only then may it visit Mary Poppinz Kinderbetreuung GmbH (e.g. no antipyretic medication). Teething children as well as children with a slight cold (without fever) may visit Mary Poppinz Kinderbetreuung GmbH. As soon as the child’s fever rises above 38°C, the child must be collected.
In case of illness or other absences, the nursery must be informed by 09:00 a.m. at the latest. There is no refund of care costs and the days of care not taken cannot be compensated.
Absences during holidays must be notified to the nursery management as early as possible. There is no reimbursement of care costs and the days of care not taken cannot be compensated.
