The fee charged for the second child is a maximum of 40% of the fee for the youngest child, i.e. a maximum of €124 month. The fee for subsequent children is 20% of the fee for the youngest child.

The amount of the fee in private daycare depends on the daycare centre and the service voucher. If the private daycare charges exceed the service voucher, the family will pay the rest.
