Childcare Solothurn – Find Available Spots & Suitable Care

Finding the right daycare in Solothurn doesn't have to be complicated if you know what matters. Every family has different needs: proximity to home or workplace, specific care hours, educational concept, or language support.

To help you search specifically, Awina supports you in various ways:

• with a neutral daycare comparison tool that compares important criteria (e.g. opening hours, group size, concept)
• with personal recommendations from our team when you want individual consultation
• with information about the offerings of selected daycares in the Solothurn region

Our goal is to give you orientation so you can make a decision with confidence for a daycare that really fits your child and your daily life.

The opening hours of daycares in Solothurn differ depending on the operator and concept. However, most facilities offer full-day care from Monday to Friday – often between 07:00 and 18:30.

Some daycares also enable half-day models, flexible care blocks, or extended edge hours – for example for parents in shift work or with longer commutes. The exact availability depends on the respective facility.

Awina helps you find daycares that match your time needs – even if you depend on early care, regular edge hours, or holiday care. Through the comparison tool you can specifically filter daycares by opening hours and get an overview of which models best support your daily life.

As a rule, daycares in Solothurn accept children from the age of 3 months until kindergarten entry. Some facilities also offer places for babies under 3 months or for kindergarten children in the school-complementary area.

The settling-in period is individually designed, often in close consultation with parents. Awina recommends thinking early about the desired entry date and contacting the daycare at least 6 to 9 months in advance, especially for popular facilities or when a specific month is desired.

If you're unsure from when a daycare visit makes sense for your child, we're happy to advise you personally – tailored to age, development, and family situation.

Most daycares in Solothurn offer complete daily catering – with breakfast, lunch, snacks, and sometimes also afternoon snack. Fresh, healthy, and child-appropriate nutrition is at the center.

Depending on the facility, food is cooked fresh on-site or an external catering service with clear quality standards is used. Special needs such as allergies, vegetarian nutrition, or cultural eating habits are usually considered – in consultation with parents.

Some facilities emphasize organic products, seasonal cuisine, or educational meal design where children are actively involved.

Tip: When visiting a daycare, also pay attention to how the eating situation is designed – e.g. whether there are shared table rituals or children are allowed to serve themselves. This gives you good insight into daily life.
