Childcare in Luxembourg: crèche, maison relais and the chèque-service accueil (CSA)
Luxembourg subsidises childcare for ages 0 to 12 through the chèque-service accueil (CSA). The state pays up to 60 hours a week, capped at 7 euro an hour in a crèche or maison relais and 5.40 euro with a childminder, with the parental share scaling to taxable income. Children aged 1 to 4 get 20 free hours a week of multilingual education, and after-school care plus the noon meal are free in school weeks. Residents apply via their commune; cross-border workers via the CAE.
