More than a second home
Why CompaNanny?
A trusted environment for your child
We believe it is important that every child feels at home with us. Our locations are bright and warmly designed, featuring neutral colours, natural materials and open-ended toys. A safe and trusted foundation for children to grow up in.
Warm and professional team
Our team members truly make the difference. With their dedication, experience and CompaNanny’s own pedagogical vision, they have everything it takes to support and guide your child in the best possible way.
Learning through play
Children learn through play. We encourage them to develop through curiosity and a sense of wonder as they explore the world around them. We provide both the freedom and the safety to try, to fall, and to get back up again.
Personal attention for your child
Every child is unique. That is why we tailor our approach to each child’s needs, interests and pace. This helps your child build confidence and feel supported and encouraged to discover their own path.
Healthy nutrition & outdoor play
Healthy nutrition and time spent outdoors support a child’s development. That is why children enjoy warm, mostly organic lunches with us and play outside every day. Together, we discover the wonders of nature.
Your partner in parenting
We work closely with parents and are always happy to share our knowledge and experience in parenting and child development. Do you have questions or doubts, big or small? We are here to think along with you. Parenting is something we do together.

Because the most beautiful person a child can become is themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions regarding registration
Are there any costs associated with registration?
-
No, registering via the form is free of charge and without obligation.
What happens after I register using the form above?
-
By registering, you are submitting a non-binding application for your child(ren) at one of our locations. You are not committing to anything at this stage. After completing and submitting the digital form, you will receive an immediate confirmation from us by email. Within one to three working days, our Planning & Placement team will contact you by phone to discuss your preferences and answer any questions you may have. You will then receive a registration confirmation by email, after which our Planners will begin processing your application.
If the requested childcare can be scheduled immediately, our Planners will contact you and you will receive a contract proposal by email. If there is no immediate availability on all preferred days, we will make you an offer based on current availability and place you on the waiting list for your preferred days. As soon as a place becomes available, we will let you know.
Are there waiting lists at CompaNanny?
-
If we are not yet able to make you an offer because we do not plan as far ahead as your preferred start date, you will also receive a confirmation of your registration and be placed on the waiting list. Our waiting list varies depending on location, timing, childcare days, age group and type of childcare. We will inform you about any waiting lists once we contact you regarding your registration. If there is no availability at the time you are looking for childcare, we are happy to think along with you to find a suitable solution.
Would you like to know more about how waiting lists in childcare work and how you can increase the chances of securing a place for your child(ren)? You can find more information in our blog on this topic.
