The cost of a nursery place in Germany varies enormously depending on where you live and your income.
Free nursery: Berlin (completely free of fees since 2018), Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Hamburg (5 hours/day free).
Income-related fees: most cities stagger fees by income: low earners pay little or nothing, high earners up to €800/month.
Typical extra costs:
• Meal money: €50–100/month
• Craft money/materials: €5–15/month

Tax-deductible: childcare costs can be deducted as special expenses: 2/3 of the costs, max. €4,000 per child per year.
