Good to know

Activities

The main activity consists of enabling the children to enjoy guided free play. For this purpose, we offer a large selection of books, board games, building elements, role-play articles, and painting and handicraft materials.

Ad hoc activities will also be available, which children can choose to take part in depending on their individual interest.

Staff

Responsibility for kihz Flex temporary childcare lies with the head of the kihz Platten daycare centre.

The child-staff ratio complies with the guidelines governing daycare centres and crèches set by the Canton of Zurich.

One qualified carer is always on duty during each block, and joined by another person depending on child numbers.

All staff members have at the very least a basic qualification in early childhood education as well as experience in working in daycare centres. They are given regular training in subjects such as “First Aid for Small Children”, hygiene or fire protection.

Food and drink                       

Water/tea, fruit and cereal products are available for the children. Other food, milk/milk-replacement products and puréed food must be provided by the families.

Lunch is available on request, at a charge of CHF 8.- . Please let us know 24 hours in advance.

Hygiene products / change of clothes

Please bring your own nappies (diapers) and hygiene products.

We recommend that you bring hygiene products plus a change of clothes suited to the season in a bag marked with the child’s name.
