For children between the ages of 1 and 5, nurseries are open for most of the day, all year round. All 6-year-olds have the right to nursery education for three hours a day the year before they start school.

Järnforsen, Målilla, Mörlunda, Silverdalen, Vena and Virserum.
Registered childminders
Registered childminders are employed by the council and look after children between the ages of 1 and 12 in their own home. 6-year-olds who are looked after by a childminder are also eligible for three hours a day of nursery education. Childcare is subject to a fee which is based on family income.
