In Germany there is no such institution with the name "nursery/crèche/childcare", there is a "Kinderkrippe" and "Kindergarten" and "Tageskindergarten" and "Kindertagesstätte" (or "Kita") and "Vorschule" and "Kinderhort" (or "Schulhort", "Hort", "Schülerhort") and "Spielgruppe", main differences are age and opening hours. Some institutions might also combine several services in the same place (but probably different groups). AFAIK the starting age for a Kindergarten is 2-3 years, since recently there is a legally guaranteed (though effectively not available in some cases) place in a public Kindergarten for all children from 3 on. A quite important distinction for who put his kids somewhere is that of ideology/education system (public vs. religious vs. anthroposophian and maybe more --- haven't heard of any satanic kindergarten yet though). The religious aspects can be tagged with the well known tags religion=* and denomination=*, not sure for the other "non formally religious" ideologic colours. cheers, Martin
