A situation that plunges Céline and her family into embarrassment.
“For lack of a solution, I had to take care of the twins and my four-year-old daughter for several months without being able to go back to my job, when I really needed it.“.
I was going completely crazy.
“I felt completely abandoned, abandoned. When the little ones were seven months old, one day I called the Intercommunale du Brabant Wallon while farting on cable. I cried, I was going completely crazy […]”. A final call for help that will eventually unblock the situation.
“Coincidentally, a few hours later, I was called to tell me that a nanny might take care of them part-time. If I had not been able to resume my work, I would have foundered. My husband was on the verge of taking over, even if it meant putting us in financial difficulties because it was no longer possible.“.
We are asked to be active moms but we are prevented from doing so.
A situation that echoes that of many parents in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. According to the parent barometer (Ipsos survey), 40% of parents cannot find a crèche when they need it.
Nearly 1,000 fewer reception places in 5 years
A problem that tends to worsen. In three years, 770 crèche places have disappeared.
The total number of childcare places has, in fact, been falling for five years. Between 2019 and 2023, the Wallonia-Brussels Federation lost nearly a thousand reception places. This leaves just under 46,000 in all, compared to nearly 47,000 in 2019, before the Covid crisis.
