My one child will have a different out-of-school care rate for 5 equal school days in 2024 than my other child. How is that possible?

As of January 1, 2024, the rate for the five equal school days will be equalized with the hourly rate for the short afternoon, i.e. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. For children who started at Bink before January 1, 2024, we will do this within two years. As a result, you may pay a different rate for one child than for the other.

The rate for the five equal school days was introduced when the first schools started with five equal school days. It was expected that this would increase childcare on Wednesday and Friday afternoons. In practice we see that this is not the case. Most parents need childcare on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. The rate for the five equal school days is therefore not cost-effective. For this reason, it has been decided to equalize the rate for the five equal school days with the hourly rate for the short afternoon.
