– Pay employees more money
– more employees/ kid
– better training for employees
It’s all about the money and how it’s divided.
Step one: find the money at government budget.
I don’t have any experience with nurseries yet but it’s clear that the sector needs more support. My partner and I have been trying for children for a few years now, have gone through quite a few miscarriages, and according to ‘the book’ we would have actually have to start searching for a nursery as soon as we get a positive pregnancy test. But we’re really not up for adding that to our list of worries yet.
My girlfriend used to work in a daycare for stad Gent. She switched jobs to work in retirment home.
Because the working conditions/lack of people was so bad she’s was afraid that she couldnt keep track of it all anymore and something would happen to a kid because she was so overburdend by the number of kids she had to care of alone.
She was taking care of 30+kids by herself most days even to regulation states it should be done by more people.
when she reported it to kind en gezin nothing happend.
So she made the switch a year ago and after seeing the recent events that happend in a daycare in gent (not the one she worked in but might happen there aswel at some point) we know for certain she made right call switching
Childcare exists so people can (must) go to work. While I understand that we as a society need to subsidize this I also think that huge companies must just pay for their employees in one way or another.
The company pays for the person to stay at home and care for the child (80% of their salary for example) or the company provides cheap and close-by (<5 km or in-house) child-care for their employee (max 5 Euro / day, max 6 children per child-carer).

Seems very easy to me:

– more employees/ kid
– better training for employees
