Many parents prefer not to use nurseries if they can manage without them, but they can prove to be absolutely necessary when things get busy, especially if you and your family are newcomers to a city. Nurseries in Barcelona are always in high demand, whether private, state-assisted or public, although spots in public centers are especially coveted. Spots in private centers tend to be more expensive, but in some cases they become necessary when your maternity leave ends, for example, or you start a new job that requires you to be away from home more. Whatever the reason, nurseries are there to help, which is why today in this article from <\/span>ShBarcelona<\/b><\/a>, we\u2019ll be talking about the <\/span>public nurseries in each district<\/b> in the Ciudad Condal. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Obviously, the idea of leaving your children with people you don\u2019t know is not ideal, but daily obligations leave you needing a little extra help. If a little extra help would allow you to get more done or be able to work more hours, then at least looking at nurseries in your district where you could sign your child up for a spot can be a good idea. Aside from the convenience of watching your child so you can get done what you need to, nurseries can also play an important role in your child\u2019s future development. Depending on their age, a nursery setting can help your child to be more independent, as they are away from their <\/span>parents<\/b><\/a> and can socialize with other children their age, factors that are significant in a child\u2019s development and growth. Ideally, your child can start to express their fears, tempers and frustrations that tend to come out for young kids while they are in this safe environment away from home, given you some time away from these intense moments. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Children that are eligible for a nursery usually need to be between four months and three years old. From this age on, it\u2019s best for children to be in a daycare, where the lessons and care are more geared towards toddlers. These classes begin in September and end in July, as with other levels of <\/span>school<\/b><\/a>. Some nurseries have vacation options as well, to take care of children during the months off of school. The first step to getting a spot for your child in a public nursery is completing pre-enrollment for the nurseries you want at the beginning of May before the desired school year. In order to choose the one that you want, you should visit during open house days when it is open during work hours, which generally take place between April and May. Each district in Barcelona has a different number of nurseries, and it is important to find out how many spots each of them have open for the following year as well as weigh other factors related to location and size. Once you do get a <\/span>spot for your child<\/b><\/a> somewhere, all that remains to be done is to complete registration in the summer, which generally takes place mid-June.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sarri\u00e0 Sant Gervasi: five nurseries. <\/span>Gracia: seven nurseries<\/b><\/a>. Horta Guinardo: thirteen nurseries. Nou Barris: twelve nurseries.
