Hello everyone
A recent report states that France has a new record population, making it the second largest population in the EU after Germany. For those of you in the Chamonix valley looking for childcare, this won't come as any surprise. Childcare for pre-school age children is very difficult to find. The average waiting list at a crèche is 18 months. If you are struggling to find your way with the different types of crèche/child minder options available, please get in touch.
Entering the world of child minders, crèche and schools in France can be a minefield for new parents. There are so many forms to fill in that it can be easy to just ignore them all. Don't, if you need help, just ask. Most of these forms entitle you to money so it's well worth getting in touch for.
Look after yourselves in this extremely cold weather and I hope to speak to you soon.
