Not received an invoice

The invoice is sent as an e-mail, so check whether it may have arrived in the junk mail. Double check if you have registered the correct e-mail address in MyKid.

With direct debit, the invoice is not automatically sent to e-mail. You must answer "yes" for the message/notification on the agreement on the online banking site to receive an invoice by e-mail in addition to Avtalegiro.

Received reminder but Invoice have been paid

We remind you 5 days after the due date. Reminders and payments can overlap. Disregard reminder if payment has been made.

Are you wondering about the amount in the first invoice?

The invoice is issued according to the contract date. Contact the Unit Manager of your kindergarten by e-mail or via MyKid for any questions.

Received an invoice even if the child has resigned

Notify the kindergarten Unit Manager by e-mail or via MyKid.

Change of address or e-mail address

You can change your address and e-mail under "contact info" in MyKid, or send an email to the Unit manager of your kindergarten.

Split invoice between mother and father

Notify the kindergarten Unit Manager by e-mail or via MyKid. Remember to provide your address and email address.

Giro/Direct Debit Information

You can do this yourself in your online banking site.

Avtalegiro can be arranged by paying an invoice and searching for the nursery on the online banking site. Check that the account number is the same as on the invoice you have received. Remember to enter your KID number. The amount limit should be slightly above the amount on the invoice. The procedure could be found on the invoice.

Invoice terms

The invoice is sent out at the end of the month, due on the 10th of the following month.

Change payee

If you wish to change the recipient of the invoice to mother or father, contact the Unit Manager. Send this to the Unit Manager by e-mail or via MyKid.

Moved

Remember to provide your current address if you have moved.

If you want to change the placement between two Læringsverkstedet kindergartens, we can help with the transfer. This could be done if there is a free place at where you want to move to and that the current place is terminated in accordance with the termination procedure in the kindergarten's statutes.

You can find these at www.laringsverkstedet.no/barnehage and then search for your Kindergarten. Find documents and statutes. If you need help, contact the kindergarten Unit Manager.

Sibling Discount

Sibling discount is generally given at 30% for child 2 and 50% for children 3 and 4. From 01.08.2023, children 3 and 4 will receive 100% sibling discount.

Certain municipalities may have different rates. You can also find information about this on your municipality's website or under your kindergarten. Search for a nursery at www.laringsverkstedet.no/barnehage

Reduced payment

How to apply for a reduced payment?

Households with a low income can apply for reduced parental payment and free core time. No household must pay more than 6% of taxable personal and capital income. See guidelines and criteria on the Directorate of Education's website, www.udir.no

It is encouraged to apply before 1 June in order to receive the correct invoice for August. The application can be done throughout the year. The decision will be made after the application and documentation have been received.

The following documents must be attached to the application:

  • Last tax report (tax return) for the applicant
  • Last tax return (tax return) for spouse, cohabitant, or partner
  • It is the person/s who live at the same address in the national register as the child who is applying
  • In the event of significant and permanent changes in the household's income in relation to the last year's tax declaration (tax return), applicants can submit other documentation for income.

See the website of your municipality for a link to application documents.

I have received an approval but have not received a reduced invoice

Pay the invoice in accordance with the decision, plus allowance. You do not have to pay the entire invoice.

We correct and credit the payment, but this requires that you have an approved decision. Send a copy of the decision to the kindergarten.

For other questions, please contact the Unit Manager of the kindergarten your child starts/attends.
