Kindergarten fees up 0.5 per cent

Norwegian kindergarten fees rose by 0.5 per cent from August 2011 to January 2012. The rise in public kindergarten fees contributed most to the increase.

Household payments in public kindergartens showed an increase of 0.7 per cent from August 2011 to January 2012. Fees in private kindergartens went up 0.3 per cent. Of all children with day care places, 53 per cent attend a publicly-provided kindergarten .

The region of Agder/Rogaland showed an increase in public kindergarten fees of 1.7 per cent, while Northern Norway and South Eastern Norway showed rises of 1.1 and 1.0 per cent respectively. The change is due to increased placement fees together with increased rates for additional food payments and payments for extra curricular activities.

The annual payment fees for public kindergartens went up 0.8 per cent in Hedmark and Oppland and 0.4 per cent in Oslo and Akershus, while the regions of Trøndelag and Vestlandet showed increases of 0.2 and 0.1 per cent respectively. The municipalities have adjusted their kindergarten fees to a maximum of NOK 2 330 per month.

Overall, the household payments for public kindergartens rose by 1.6 per cent from January 2011 to January 2012.
