Childcare in France

Hello Mumsnet!

I see your site pop up all the time and wondered if you could possibly help us please, any information/advice would be so welcome x

My son, his partner and my little granddaughter Elliot live in the Alsace region of France on the French/Swiss border, they live in a tiny little village and Elliot has never had the opportunity to play with other children. Because both parents work in Switzerland and do not work for a French company they go to the bottom of the pile for childcare. They applied last spring but still nowhere near getting a placement. Elliot will be two in May and desperately needs interaction with other children, its awful sad when we take her to the park and she looks at other children with awe and wonder and it is heart breaking.

I was wondering if there are any other Brits out there who have come across this problem and maybe set up their own creche/nursery, we are just desperate to find this little girl some friends.

Thank you
