For families with a child from the month the child turns 5 months old to the month the child turns 1, a check-in visitor comes to your door once a month (up to 8 times), listens to any concerns, and shares local information. At each visit you choose childcare goods you want, which are delivered to your home later. Families who received check-in visits can also receive help with housework and childcare and help going out from an accompanying support worker, once a month for up to 3 hours, until the day before the child's third birthday. Neither has a user charge (with some exceptions for accompanying support).
Nationality and residence status
The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.
Who is eligible
Families with an address in the city raising a child born in December 2023 or later (check-in visits from the month of 5 months old to the month of 1 year old; accompanying support until the day before the third birthday)
