Congratulations. You got a Kita spot. After years on waiting lists, you’re just relieved — and who can blame you?
But then the reality sets in. The promised hours get cut. The breakfast program disappears. The staff are understaffed and overwhelmed. And in some cases, it’s worse: discrimination, neglect, incidents that never get reported.
What do you do? Go back on the waiting list for years? You’re stuck.
Why This Matters
Most parents don’t choose their Kita — they take what they can get. And once their child is enrolled, they have almost no way to know how other families have experienced the same facility. There’s no review platform, no shared space for honest feedback.
That information gap isn’t just frustrating. It has real consequences for children.
What We Built
kitabewertungen.de is a free, confidential platform where parents across Germany can share their real experiences — good and bad.
Reviews are structured around what actually matters: how well the child is cared for, whether parents feel heard, whether their child feels comfortable. Not just star ratings, but written accounts. Because numbers alone don’t tell the full story.
Every Krippe, Kindergarten, Hort, and Tagespflege in Germany can be found and reviewed — no paid listings, no filters.
As a parent of two, my wife and I know the feeling of wanting to trust a Kita but not having enough information to do so. We built this because we believe parents deserve better than guesswork.
Share your experience. Pass it on.
