  • A subsidy is not granted if the amount of care is less than 15 hours per week or 65 hours per month
  • The calculation of the subsidy is limited to 35 hours per week or 152 hours per month
  • The subsidy amounts to 1/3 of the actually incurred additional costs of the pure childcare costs (without meal contribution) compared to the respective valid fee according to the statutes of the city of Oberursel (Taunus) on the levying of fees for the use of day care centres. There is no legal entitlement to funding.
