The Little Sprouts Facilities

Our child friendly garden is fully fenced and looks out over a large field with a forest backdrop. The garden has apple trees, cherry trees, berry bushes, vegetable and bee gardens and green lawn play space. There is a lovely playhouse and an outdoor mud kitchen available as well as a sandbox. Bikes and scooters for all ages are available as well as a netted and safety approved trampoline. There are swing sets, tents and picnic blankets for fun days outdoors.

Our newly build shelter with adjustable floor/picnic-table function is available for naps, storytime, play and picnic lunches.
Our cosy greenhouse is furnished not only with plants, there is a sofa area with pillows and seating for 6 people too and can be used to sprout seeds and for morning meetings. 

The guest entrance with guest bathroom will be available each day for Little Sprouts hand washing, toilet visits, diaper changing and will also be the home to our tote bags with spare clothes.
We have 6 lovely hens in a fenced off area in the garden: Noeleen, Pearl, Rebecca, Delilah, Plet and Bella, as well as the friendliest fluffy white rabbit called Luna. They love to be fed grass, dandelions and grains by our little sprouts friends. 
Our family has a child friendly whippet named Pegas, who will be indoors during the day but might come outside to greet the children too shortly during the week. The real boss of the garden is our beautiful cat Ella, who loves attention and chasing sticks. 
A wagon is available for bringing items and even some tired shorter legged younger little sprouts friends with us on trips around the friendly countryside village of Karlebo. We will purchase a high quality cargo-bike with approved seatbelts, rain cover and support battery to enjoy many trips out and about. 

Fees & Calendar

Waiting List Fee: 300 DKK
Start Up Fee after place acceptance: 2500 DKK
Monthly Fee for 2 yr olds: 10.500 DKK
approx. 7.125 DKK refund available from Fredensborg Kommune – which makes the parent fee 3.375 DKK/month.
Monthly Fee for 3-6 yr olds: 7.500 DKK
approx. 3.551 DKK Refund available in Fredensborg Kommune- which makes the parent fee 3.949 DKK/month

Refund varies from municipality to municipality and parents are advised to find out how much refund they will get by contacting their municipality prior to signing their child up for Little Sprouts.
Placement of children from the waiting list will depend on the age and gender of the children- to make sure there is a good balance within the group of children. Time on the waiting list will therefore not necessarily be of a main factor for receiving placement. 
A contract between Jen and the parents will be set up in connection to place acceptance.
Payment is to me made up front on the last bank day of the previous month. Each month after received payment, Jen will send a payment statement to parents and to the child’s municipality- where after the municipality refunds the parents up to 75% of the fee.
