This means that the level of government subsidies has decreased by 1 percentage point compared with the previous year. Parental payments have remained stable in the last year.

In recent years, the proportion of government and parental subsidies of private kindergartens’ operating expenditures have seen a change. In 2000, the proportion of government subsidies and payments from parents were almost identical, with 48 and 47 per cent respectively. The proportion of government subsidies increased in the period between 2000 and 2007, giving a share of government subsidies of 80 per cent. The development from 2007 to 2015 has not been as significant, but has given an 86 per cent share of government subsidies.

The average hourly cost increased most at private family day-care, by seven per cent from the previous year. At ordinary kindergartens, average hourly cost increased by five per cent from the previous year.
