Apply for a building permitYou would like to build a house in Wunstorf and therefore apply for a building permit. Her place of residence is currently Hanover. You must indicate the place where the house is to be built. In this case it is Wunstorf.

Entitlement to a place in a day-care centre

Read aloud

Day care and day care facilities for children serve to educate and care for children. From the age of one and up to the age of three, every child has an individual legal entitlement to needs-based care in a day care centre or a day care centre. Every child who has reached the age of three is entitled to support in a day care centre for children until they start school. The local providers have to provide a needs-based supply of all-day places.

Attendance at the daycare centre is free of charge from a child's 3rd birthday until they start school.

The Orientation Plan for Education and Upbringing in the Early Childhood Sector and the supplementary recommendations for action "Language Education and Language Promotion" and "Working with Children under the Age of Three" specify the educational mandate for the elementary sector of Lower Saxony's day care centres for children.

Who should I contact?

The responsibility lies with the district, the independent city, the municipality, the joint municipality and the city in which you reside. There you can find out about the local facilities, the number of places, etc.

The Child and Family Service Offices are also available for all childcare questions.
