Concept selected: Daycare centres
- Definition
-
This includes all those public or private institutions that look after children during the day (for example: pre-school, kindergarten, nursery school or the equivalent - ISCED 2007 level 0). The aim is to measure the demand, and not the supply, of daycare (for all children aged <5 years old and who are not at home during the day). The data must include special schools, or the equivalent, for children with special needs (e.g. children with disabilities). In turn, the data must not include cultural/sporting/etc. activities, if undertaken for recreational purposes rather than childcare purposes. Child minders (qualified or unqualified) must be included if a direct payment or employment arrangement exists between the child minder and the parents. Babysitters and au pairs must also be included.
