For each child born in Nerima City, you receive 8 vouchers that can be used toward fees for childcare support services. They can be used for 8 types of services: childcare support helpers, midwife care, childcare consultation and breastfeeding outpatient services at obstetric institutions, childcare support classes, Family Support, temporary childcare for infants and toddlers, temporary childcare at private childcare hiroba (drop-in spaces), and temporary childcare at daycare centers. How much 1 voucher covers depends on the service. For childcare support helpers and Family Support, 1 voucher gives 1 hour free; for temporary childcare for infants and toddlers, 1 voucher gives 1 unit (3 hours) free. For other services, only 1 voucher can be used per time, worth ¥2,000. The vouchers are valid until the last day of the month the child turns 2. When you submit a birth registration in Nerima City, or move to Nerima City with a child under 1, the city automatically mails them to your home.
