According to the latest findings in Primary education, children achieve more if they attend nursery from an early age. Thus, in Sweden every child from the age of one, has the right to a public kindergarten place.

Recent studies contradict the notion that children should be cared for as long as possible in the family - rather, an early nursery school education promotes the social and intellectual abilities of children. "“Only those who attend nursery school at a very early stage will have a competitive edge”," says Martin. Good news for the working mothers of Sweden who are encouraged to have a full family life. “For most of the women in Stockholm it is now not a question of whether they want to have a child, but rather if they want to have a third”, according to working mum Katinka.
