Households’ payments to public kindergartens showed an increase of 0.1 per cent in January 2013 since the last survey in August 2012, while fees in private kindergartens went up 0.5 per cent. Fifty-three per cent of all children with day care places attend a publicly-provided kindergarten .

In Northern Norway, prices went up by 1.4 per cent from August 2012 to January 2013, while the prices in South Eastern Norway together with the Oslo and Akershus region rose by 0.4 and 0.2 per cent respectively. In Hedmark and Oppland, the public kindergarten fee increased by 0.1 per cent, while no change was measured on average (for the average municipality) in the regions of Agder/Rogaland and Western Norway. A price fall of 1.4 per cent was measured for the region of Trøndelag in the same period. In addition to increased placement fees and higher rates for additional food payments and payments for extra curricular activities, the changes must be viewed in conjunction with the change in payment regimes for some of the municipalities.
