>At the end of 2024, Flanders had 93,175 childcare places for babies and toddlers. Nine months later, the number had grown to 93,183: a mere 8 places increase.
>For PVDA MP Lise Vandecasteele, this is unacceptable. “The shortage of childcare spaces continues to drag on. Too many parents search in vain for a place and are forced to find solutions themselves: taking parental leave, relying on family, or working part-time.”
>The Flemish government is repeatedly failing to keep its promises, says the Labour Party (PVDA). “In 2023, the previous Flemish government promised 5,000 additional childcare places, but since then, barely 150 have been added.” The current promise of 10,000 additional places by the end of the legislative term is also in danger of not being fulfilled, according to Vandecasteele.

Tbf’ just like everything. Takes time to set up a daycare.
You just don’t open one willy nilly. You need to go through an entire procedure to get approved for the (limited) additional spaces they just made’ and only then can you start setting it up.
Would it be better if you could open a daycare in 2 months? After all the recent news stories about poorly run ones?
