This municipal nursery in Aarhus is the first of its kind in the city and part of Gl. Åby Dagtilbud. It has room for 32 children in three groups, with the green and orange rooms as home bases and the yellow room used for opening hours and activities. Staff include six pedagogues, three assistants and a student, and the kitchen is run by a leader trained in food science.
The food is mostly organic, with fish, wholegrain bread, soup, porridge and hot meals every week. Children bring their own afternoon snack, with no sweets. The day starts at 6.30, and traditions include fastelavn (the Danish pre-Lent carnival), Easter, Christmas, a pyjama party in October and a summer fair. The playground is in a housing estate.
