There are sometimes fewer childcare providers present in childcare than is claimed on paper. Barbara Dupuis of UnieKO signal, the professional federation of independent childcare initiatives, made this clear in the Flemish Parliament. “We don’t look at the effective presence, but at the ‘payroll’ (payroll administration, ed.). And there is a difference,” says Dupuis. Flemish MP Celia Groothedde calls this a “bomb” in the childcare file.
