I am moving to Geneve with my family in January and am looking for child care options...

BIPE have told me they won't do anything for me until I am physically there and registered, so public creches are out...

I am struggling to find a list of private creches that my take my application without requiring residency in their arrondissement, surely these exist in Geneve? I even found a few in Vaud, but can't find any in Geneva... It's all under BIPE control..

This seems to include 'mamand du jour' as well. I can't sign up for these through BIPE either.

We aren't really the type of family that can afford a one on one nanny to take care of our kid, but I really don't understand what the Geneva city authorities expect me to do...? Does no one move to Geneva while having secured childcare beforehand??

Sorry for the frustrated tone.
