A small and charming daycare center with newly renovated premises
The daycare centre kids & co Gümligen is located at Turbenweg 11, somewhat hidden away but with good public transport connections between the train station and shopping facilities. The daycare centre is ideally located for families from Gümligen, Muri bei Bern, Ostermundigen, Worb and the city of Bern.
We offer professional and familial care in small groups for children from 3 months to kindergarden age. We create a familial environment in which children feel comfortable and can develop individually. Our forest days in summer, where children actively experience and explore nature, are particularly popular.
The daycare centre has bright, friendly rooms and its own garden, which offers space for exercise, play and creativity. Our qualified carers look after the children with a lot of love and constantly updated specialist knowledge. Our structured daily routine provides support and guidance.
The daycare centre is also ideal for working parents: thanks to its proximity to Bern and flexible care models, it is a reliable solution for balancing family and career in the greater Bern area.
«We are very satisfied with the daycare. I am especially impressed by the consistently positive and friendly interaction with the children and among the staff. The caregivers lead by example and model the values the children are meant to learn.»

«JI couldn’t imagine a better daycare. My daughter attended before, and now my son does as well. The care is organized in a very professional and loving way: the children are placed at the center and can develop in the best possible way.»

There are still places available. We look forward to your registration – no registration fees!
Yes, we look forward to welcoming you and your child to our daycare in person. You can schedule your visit online in just a few clicks, by phone, or via email — whichever is most convenient for you.
Our daycare is almost always open, only closing for a short break between Christmas and New Year. In addition, we are closed on public holidays, the Friday after Ascension Day, and one professional development day.
Our opening hours are part of our commitment to supporting your work–family balance.
However, as long as the child can participate in the program at the daycare center, they are very welcome.
Sick children are most comfortable at home, where they can recover and get well in peace. At the same time, this helps protect the health of the other children and our team. Is your child sick and you have to work? profawo has emergency nannies who can come to your sick child's home and care for them.
Yes, we have a waiting list. Children of employees at member companies receive priority access to a spot. Is your employer a member, or would you like them to become one?
We are happy to offer the option to book extra care days. This can be done for single or multiple days, provided there are available spots in our daycare. You can easily submit your request through the parent app.
Our daycare places great emphasis on healthy, child-appropriate nutrition. Meals are freshly prepared by Siloah à Table, focusing on balanced, seasonal, and varied dishes. For our youngest children, baby purees are also provided free of charge
We follow the Berlin model for settling in. At first, the child attends the daycare together with a familiar caregiver, allowing them to get to know the new environment and staff at their own pace. Gradually, the attendance time is extended, and the caregiver slowly steps back until the child has built a secure relationship with the daycare staff and feels comfortable in the daily routine.
Communication with parents is personal, transparent, and straightforward. Through our parent app, you can share important information with us at any time. Additionally, you receive our monthly parent newsletter, which provides insights into daily daycare life, current topics, and a preview of upcoming events. This way, you are always well-informed and connected to what’s happening.
Our top priority is the safety and well-beeing of the children. Clear emergency plans are in place for various situations, and our staff complete a first-aid course every two years. We regularly con-duct drills for potential fire incidents and daycare evacuations. In terms of hygiene, we follow strict guidelines and consistently ensure that all hygiene regulations are adhered to.
As a non-profit organization, we are self-sustaining and invest the funds we generate directly into the quality of our childcare. This includes staff development, investments in the daycare facilities, and continuous improvement of our services. This ensures that all resources entrusted to us benefit the children, families, and our team directly
Our daycare is part of profawo, a non-profit association active throughout Switzerland. profawo is committed to supporting work–family balance and promoting family-friendly solutions in daily life.
