On average, a one-year full-time place in a Norwegian kindergarten, including food and other expenses, cost NOK 31 200 in January 2019, according to new figures for Household payments for kindergarten. This is a 1.5 per cent increase compared to the same month in 2018. The average numbers are calculated from a comprehensive dataset, which includes all kindergartens and all municipalities in Norway.
