Bremen’s bold reform expands childcare with large-scale daycare centres
Bremen has taken a significant step to enhance childcare options for working families. The city’s Senate launched a reform in March 2023 to expand daycare services, focusing on large-scale facilities and group-based care models. The reform began on 5 March 2023, when the Senate proposed amendments to the Bremen Act on the Promotion of Children in Daycare, aiming to introduce large-scale daycare centres, providing a new option alongside traditional childcare. This model allows multiple caregivers to work together, ensuring coverage even if one is absent. The reform aims to provide parents with more reliable childcare options while improving working conditions for providers. Large-scale facilities and group care strive to create a stable system for families and staff. The changes take effect as other states consider similar measures.
