Summary and extracts

1 Market overview

1.1 Definition and scope of study

Crèches, also known as "établissements d'accueil du jeune enfant" (EAJE), are facilities for children up to the age of 6 that are not part of a family or school environment.

In France, there are several types of EAJE, depending on the nature of their managing body: association, local authority, company, etc. Private day-care centers run by companies are commercially-operated day-care centers.

There are several types of private day-care center, depending on their structure (multi-accueil day-care center, company day-care center, municipal day-care center under public-private partnership, or micro-crèche) and their type of financing (PSU, PAJE, etc.). The market is largely financed by the State via the Caisse Nationale d'Allocations Familiales (CAF).

The French market is characterized by an imbalance between supply and demand. Despite an increase in the number of places offered in recent years, the number of places available is still far from sufficient to meet national demand. The private sector in particular is booming, as it is more flexible and less costly than its public competitors. As a result, the number of places available in private day-care centers is increasing every year. As a result, the market should continue to enjoy double-digit annual growth by 2027 in terms of the number of places offered.

The French market is more mature than that of its European neighbors, and the French offer is diversifying to differentiate itself. For example, crèches with original pedagogical projects (ecological or musical) are on the rise. What's more, French nurseries are increasingly exporting their know-how abroad. The major players in the French market are finding new sources of growth and substantial outlets in European countries.
