I need all-day childcare, but also want to use preschool. Is that possible?

Yes, it is. You can then choose a nursery with preschool education. In fact, there are two types of preschool in Amsterdam:

• half-day childcare. You bring your child to the nursery with a pre-school programme for several half-days a week;
• full-day childcare. You bring your child to the nursery for full days and the pre-school programme is incorporated into the full day.

You can check with the different preschools to see what they offer.
