Daycare centre kids & co Salem
Family-friendly daycare centre in a great location with plenty of space and a garden – easily acces-sible from Breitenrain, Lorraine and central Bern
The daycare centre kids & co Salem is located on Sonnenbergstrasse in the quiet Altenberg neighbourhood of Bern – right between Salem Hospital, the Kursaal and the Rosengarten. This means that it is not only centrally located, but also nestled in one of the most charming corners of Bern – easily accessible yet away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Our daycare centre offers loving care for children from 3 months to kindergarten age. In small groups, we create a familial atmosphere in which children feel safe, secure and individually cared for.
The premises are bright, friendly and child friendly. Our own garden invites children to play, move around and discover new things. During the summer months, weather permitting, the entire group of children goes on weekly forest days: eating food cooked over a fire, sleeping under trees and discovering the many wonders of nature makes a child’s heart beat faster.
Thanks to good public transport connections (via the Salem or Kursaal stops), the daycare centre is easily accessible – even for parents who work in the city centre or at Bern railway station.
Convenient and Straightforward – schedule your visit with kids & co
We look forward to welcoming you and your child in person at our daycare center. You can schedule your visit online with just a few clicks, by phone, or via email – whatever works best for you. It is important to us to take the time to answer any questions you may have. We will do our best to find a time that works for your schedule.
Special offers
We are pleased to be able to offer you a further step towards reconciling family and career in this daycare centre with the following offers.
Exchange days
If, exceptionally, a child cannot attend the daycare centre on the usual day, the day can be exchanged free of charge within the same calendar week, provided that a place is available on the desired day. The request must be received by the daycare centre manager at least 48 hours in advance. Cancellations due to holidays are excluded.
Additional care days will be charged separately as usual.
Out-of-hours care
This daycare centre offers out-of-hour care for children on request, if the parents are unavailable for important professional reasons. The care can be extended to a maximum of 6h00 at the earliest and 20h00 at the latest. Further information on this in the form out-of-hours care (in German).
Observation visits
In order to offer an insight into the day-to-day work of the daycare centre and to make our pedagogical work visible to the parents, we offer visits to the nursery by appointment. Such a visit lasts 1-2 hours and includes a pre- and debriefing session with the daycare centre manager. For further information consult the document Observation visits (in German, in French).
