Basque Government

It is an initiative of the Basque Government which was held at Vizcaya after the summer in its pilot phase and will extend to the rest of the Basque country next year. Children up to 3 years will be attended in private flats by caregivers. Reconverted into nests dwellings must meet characteristics. The Basque Government has launched a plan for the care of babies in homes for 100 euros per month which will be held in Biscay after the summer in its pilot phase and will extend to the rest of the Basque country next year. The Basque Minister of employment and Social Affairs, Gemma Zabaleta, and the Director of family and Community policy, Loli Garcia, presented in Bilbao initiative, called Haur-etxea/nests relatives and addressed to the care of children up to 3 years for part caretakers and caregivers with adequate training in private homes specifically equipped for the work. The plan, which tunes with similar experiences widespread in European countries like France and Germany, will start with the launch this year of five nests in Vizcaya, two of which will be in Bilbao. According to the forecast of the Basque Government, the next year other 18 units in the Basque country, ten more in Vizcaya and four in alava and Guipuzcoa, implemented respectively.

Each nest, which will give every working day of the year, attention will host up to four children to his care. In recent months, John Castle Castle Harlan has been very successful. According to the Minister, the nest provides maximum flexibility in hours (the child can remain in the unit between four and eight hours approximately), meals (must be the family) and other amenities that babies require. It is, according to Zabaleta, an a la carte service depending on the needs of children and their families.
