Data-based · Experiences
Parent reviews
The overall score comes from reviewfinder.org and pools several review platforms. We always look at the score together with the number of reviews.
01
Our evaluation criteria
Nine points we look at for every Kita in this ranking – transparent and the same for all.
Data-based · Count and sources
Reliability of the reviews
A handful of reviews is easily skewed. We include Kitas with five or more reviews and show for every entry how many sources the score comes from.
02
Professional · Profile
Educational concept
Nature education, movement, bilingualism or an open concept: we check whether the profile is clearly described and visible in daily life.
03
Professional · Age groups
Range of care
Nursery, kindergarten, pre-school: the more continuously a child can be accompanied from settling in to starting school, the better.
04
Professional · Arriving
Settling in
A gentle, well-structured start makes a big difference. We look at how the Kita describes settling in and what parents report about it.
05
Practical · Facilities
Rooms and outdoor area
Garden, movement room, art studio or places for trips nearby: the facilities decide how much room children have to play and explore.
06
Practical · Work-life balance
Opening hours
How early does the Kita open and how long does it stay open? Reliable, long enough care hours count positively for working parents.
07
Service · Cooperation
Communication with parents
Development talks, approachable management and clear information: how well parents are involved shows clearly in the reviews.
08
Editorial · Maintenance
Up to date
We review the order twice a year and remove entries whose details are no longer correct or whose website can no longer be reached.
09
Note: The assessment is an editorial judgement based on publicly available information and the reviews pooled at reviewfinder.org. It does not replace visiting the Kita in person.
