Of interest especially for families:
Child care
You can choose between accredited private child minders or the municipal crèche. This is part of the village kindergarten, which collaborates with the child minders and organizes back-up care. There is a good adult-child rating. The kindergarten is located in the Activity Centre, opening into the library, which it uses extensively. The sports halls and activity hall are also part of the kindergarten’s space. Children of all ages are allocated time in the swimming baths here. The Centre cafeteria supplies hot and cold food for lunch for the children.
There is a large play-park for the children.
Parental involvement is encouraged, not least on the Kindergarten Board.
The kindergarten collaborates closely with the school, which is just 100 yards away across the sports fields.
School
Vorbasse School is a comprehensive school from pre-school to 9th grade. It has been considerably refurbished inside and outside (2016-2017) and is equipped with the most up-to-date teaching facilities and equipment. It has been a trend-setter in Danish education since the 1970s. There is a good teacher-pupil rating, and parental involvement is also encouraged here, especially on the School Board.
There is school bus transport for children every day (although walking and cycling are encouraged!) There is also bus transport for children attending the International School in Billund.
Activities
There are many clubs and associations providing activities for children after school. Most are in the Activity Centre or within walking distance of the school.
