Understanding support before childcare begins
The Chèque Service Accueil, often called CSA, is a Luxembourg scheme that can help families finance part of their child's care in a recognised childcare setting. It helps parents anticipate childcare costs while relying on a quality framework.
This page provides the essential points to prepare the process. It does not replace official confirmation, because entitlements, amounts, and documents depend on each family's situation.

Residents and non-residents
Non-resident families

Preparation
Prepare the file without mistakes
Once the right official source has been identified, families can gather the requested information and check validity dates. This preparation then makes the place request with Kannerstär easier.
Child details
Prepare the child's identity information, address, desired childcare situation, and legal representatives' contact details.
Family situation and income
Depending on the file, authorities may request information about the household, number of dependent children, and income to be considered.
Contract and renewal
Keep the CSA contract up to date and check validity dates, especially before a change in situation or the annual renewal.
