Please have all necessary documentation regarding your employment status ready before you begin the registration process. Documentation includes a certificate from your employer stating your weekly working hours, a notice of parental leave, a certificate of enrollment or confirmation from your school/training institution, and a notice from the Jobcenter/Bundesagentur für Arbeit.
 
Enter your child's date of birth and the desired start date for childcare. Add the postal code and location of the desired childcare facility. Then click on “Search for childcare.” You will then be taken to an overview of suitable facilities.
TIP: You can narrow down your search further here, e.g. using the “Filter” function.
Clicking on the house icon on the map or the name of the facility will take you to the respective profile. There you will find further information about the facility. You can find out about the facilities at any time, even without registering. If you want to register your child, you must first register once.
For childcare in a daycare center, you can reserve a place for your child in a daycare center. You can fill out the reservation form by clicking on the “Submit childcare request” button. At the end of the form, you can save your data and use it as a template for your next childcare request at another facility. You can register your child at up to five daycare centers.
TIP: Once you are logged in to your customer account, you can view the status of your reservations at any time under “Care.”

Worth knowing

Dear parents,
We warmly welcome you to the City of Ulm's family portal. To register for childcare at a daycare center, please select up to five preferred facilities.  Here, you can list your priorities from 1 to 5. Priority 1 means this daycare center is your top choice.

Previous pre-registrations in the old daycare portal

The daycare facilities will go online on April 1, 2026, so childcare requests can be easily submitted via the family portal. Please renew any previous pre-registrations via this daycare portal, even if you have already submitted a written pre-registration. However, we ask for your patience until you receive written confirmation of a place. If your child is already in childcare, you can also register on this page if you wish.

Please note: The length of time you have been on the waiting list does not affect the allocation of daycare spots. 

Childcare by a childminder

Consultation and inquiries are made directly with the Tagesmütterverein Ulm e.V. (info@tmv-ulm.de) and not by registering via the daycare portal.
