Dear Matthijs, Thanks very much for pointing me to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/childcare2.0
I wasn't aware of this!!! For the rest, I tried to make it clear in the proposal how to deal with other kinds of childcare ... but I will first try to merge with childcare2.0 and then see further .. thanks!
