Family day care provided in the carer’s home

A family day carer working in their home can simultaneously care for at most four under school-age children, including their own, and additionally one pre-primary education or basic education pupil who needs part-time care. In a home group, two carers may care for at most eight children at the same time.
When a carer is unable to work in their home, the child’s backup care is organised either in a day-care centre, a backup care place or in the home of another carer.
