Thanks Pieren! 1) keyvalue = nursery: I agree that nursery seems to match "crèche". And it has no special character. This would maybe be good.
I did a search for several keywords before choosing crèche, but I did not think of nursery. I'm just wondering where they are, and what they really map (I could find only 5 of them in Switzerland and they mapped exactly "crèche". The 3 I found in Germany around Karlruhe are probably an childcare in a sense of a after-school, and 5 in Bruxelles, Belgium are probably also crèches. I did not find none of them in any other major city I checked around Europe and the World - Berlin, Vienna, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Oslo, Moskau, London, NewYork, LosAngeles, Rio de Janeiro, Melbourne, .... How can I find them all???) 2) difference between nursery/crèche/childcare -- vs. -- kindergarten/pre-school: * age: starting from 2 months -- vs. -- 3 years (UK), 4 years (Germany), 5 years (Switzerland) * time: whole day -- vs. -- some hours / only the morning * scope: "Life" - e.g. eating, going outdoor -- vs. -- structured playing, educational activities.
