A new nursery day in Hafnarfjörður

The parents of a nursery school boy who shortened his time at the nursery from 8.5 hours to 7.5 hours a day saw their bill fall by almost 15,500 krónur in the first month. If they manage to keep the reduction in the child's day, the savings will amount to 170,000 krónur on an annual basis.

The Municipality of Hafnarfjörður changed the nursery day from September. The structured part of the day was then made more compact, running from 9 am to 3 pm, with free time at other times. Fees for shorter attendance hours were also significantly reduced. However, parents and guardians pay the same price as before for a full nursery day.

New nursery day = New price list

A revised nursery day is a way of creating stability in the work, reducing staff turnover and shortening children's time in nurseries where appropriate.

Parents' flexibility varies, and this is taken into account in the City of Hafnarfjörður's new pricing structure for nursery care. Hours can be long one day but short the next, depending on the parents' needs. Hafnarfjörður therefore encourages parents and guardians of nursery school children to review their day, see if they can shorten their attendance and, in doing so, find some money.

Save 160 thousand a year

Here are some more examples: The parents of another nursery school boy managed to shorten their child's nursery hours from 8 a day to 7. By doing so, they reduced their monthly payment from 41,040 krónur to 26,460 per month, a saving of 14,560 krónur. The annual saving amounts to 160,380 krónur.

So, do you want to find money?
