Council Decision on the finalization of the Trade Agreement for Textile Trade between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation, published on December 18, 2013 in the Official Journal (L 347).
The city of Nordhorn is taking significant steps to address the shortage of daycare facilities, with a comprehensive proposal for expansion to be presented on June 4, 2018, by councilwoman Marlies Schomakers.
The goal is to increase the number of qualified daycare providers, with a focus on having as many qualified daycare mothers or fathers as possible by August 2018. To achieve this, the administration is examining which of the city's rooms and buildings would be suitable for the establishment of large-scale childminding in third-party rooms.
Concrete considerations are being made for a 4-5 group facility in the area between Fr.-Ebert-Str. and Bentheimer Str., and in the Südufer building area. Additionally, the administration is considering expanding an existing facility by 3-4 groups in the Deegfeld area and building a new facility with 4-5 groups in the Stadtflur area.
The city is ready to offer suitable premises at favourable terms for further large daycare facilities. In fact, a project in collaboration with GEWO could be implemented by the end of January 2019, involving the conversion of an existing property into a kindergarten with a nursery group and a regular group.
Two decisions have already been made for two measures: expansion of a nursery group at KITA St. Marien and construction of a new kindergarten at Hof Diekmann.
The administration is also in contact with the county of Grafschaft Bentheim and educational institutions to jointly search for possibilities and solutions for qualified daycare providers. This collaborative effort includes organisations like the Stiftung Umwelt und Entwicklung NRW, which funds projects related to sustainable development and civic engagement, development cooperation committees in the German Bundestag, and Engagement Global, which provides support and networking for development political engagement.
Despite these measures, the administration acknowledges that parents who, despite all efforts, do not receive a care place at the moment, are not yet satisfied. The administration has made statements about concrete plans for the construction of new kindergartens with nursery and kindergarten groups, as well as further places in existing Kitas, as measures to support parents in finding a care place for their child.
In addition to the creation of new facilities, individual free places in the afternoon area for children over 3 years old still exist in various Kitas in the city. Furthermore, daycare persons are eligible for monetary benefits in case of illness, with the benefit being continued for up to 4 weeks per calendar year, and daycare persons also have a claim to 3 weeks of paid vacation per calendar year.
After the registration days, a total of 431 children have received a rejection, with 296 in the nursery age group and 135 in the kindergarten age group. However, the latest knowledge indicates that there are currently around 300 missing nursery places and around 130 places for children aged 3 and over.
The administration will provide further specifications, updated status, and a first cost estimate in the draft resolution(s) for individual locations, plans, and ideas in the expert committee meeting. These resolutions will outline specific expansion measures to improve the supply of places in nurseries and kindergartens. The city could also consider offering these rooms furnished with child-friendly furniture to facilitate the establishment of new daycare facilities.
