Fürth: Every child has a childcare place in 2024 - a record result!

In Fürth, the clocks run differently: While parents are fighting for their children's care places in many cities, Mayor Thomas Jung draws an extremely positive balance for 2024. In contrast to neighboring cities, some of which are canceled when looking for space, every child has received a place in a crib, a kindergarten or day care center. From 2018 to 2024, the city was able to create a total of over 1,100 new childcare places, which increases the availability to a proud 1,171 places - a clear increase compared to the only 288 places in 2011, reports fuerth.de .

The comprehensive care runs through all age groups: 4 to six year olds are now available for 4,460 kindergarten spaces- 92 more than in the previous year. Jung emphasizes the cooperation with private providers and charities that have made a significant contribution to success. In addition, the city is happy about an enormous growth of around 600 seats in the open all -day school, so that 5,170 students are now being looked after. Fürth is also well prepared for the upcoming changes in primary school care, which will gradually become effective from August 2026, such as is .

a passionate commitment to the youth

Jung sees childcare as a central task of urban politics, and the dynamic expansion continues to be promoted, especially in the area of all -day schools. The city not only invested in childcare, but also made important progress in other areas, such as debt reduction, which is "a requirement of generation justice" for Jung. With the acquisition of new commercial space in the golf park, the settlement of new companies is also promoted, which not only set economic impulses, but could also create further educational and support offers. Fürth was able to bring numerous projects to a successful conclusion in 2023 and shine with promising future plans.
