Childcare and activities for children
Are you looking for the right childcare for your child?
Below, we’ve put together some interesting options for you and your children on the topic of childcare – from nursery schools and holiday clubs to our Children’s University.
Here you will find information from the City of Worms on the various types of care facilities, as well as further details.
Are you looking for suitable childcare for your child? Worms offers a wide range of options – from nursery schools, daycare centres, after-school clubs and childminders to primary schools with childcare facilities and all-day schools. You can find more information here.
Is your child under 12* and unwell, and are you therefore unable to work? If so, you can report this as ‘child illness’ to the HR department. Please notify us of the (expected) days you will be absent and submit a copy of your child’s medical certificate. SG 1 will report your absence to the State Office for Finance. Employees will not receive any salary for these days; instead, after applying for child sickness benefit, they will be reimbursed a proportion of their lost earnings by their statutory health insurance provider, usually 90 per cent of the lost net pay. The so-called ‘medical certificate for claiming sickness benefit when a child is ill’ must be submitted to the health insurance provider.
Please note that, depending on the scope of cover, no child sickness benefit is paid for privately insured children, or different rules may apply. Please check with your private health insurer regarding your specific terms and conditions.
The website of the Federal Ministry of Health provides answers to the most important questions regarding sick days for children and child sickness benefit.
