How inspections work

Copenhagen: Københavns Kommune inspects every daycare every year. The report rates 6 themes as keep / adjust / change / start a new effort – there is no overall grade.

Frederiksberg: Frederiksberg inspects at least every 2 years, using KIDS scores (poor → excellent) and agreed development areas.

Reports from Copenhagen and Frederiksberg use different scales and can’t be compared.

    How to get a place

    In Copenhagen you sign up through the municipality's Pladsanvisning. You can sign up from birth, and the place is guaranteed from when the child is 26 weeks old. Siblings get priority. You list wishes — you're not guaranteed your first choice.

    Dagpleje (childminder)

    A dagplejer looks after up to 4–5 children aged 0–3 in her own home, and the children meet other childminders' groups in a playgroup (legestue) each week. Addresses aren't public, so you find one through the municipality's Pladsanvisning.
