Andalusia and Madrid Open 2026–27 Nursery Enrollment With New Aid and Rules

The changes lower childcare costs for families.

Overview

  • Madrid is taking applications for 4,131 places across its 77 municipal nursery schools, with a new Salamanca district center adding 66 seats and three more schools under construction.
  • The Madrid admissions score now counts an unborn child as part of the household if parents provide a medical certificate, which can raise priority for larger families.
  • The city also opened applications for its Beca Infantil Plus voucher for private nurseries, raising the budget to €6.9 million with monthly aid of €118, €220 or €385 based on family income up to €30,000 per person.
  • Andalusia launched enrollment for the first cycle of early childhood education with 127,560 places, setting a clear calendar for provisional scores, appeals, final lists and June matriculation.
  • Starting next school year in Andalusia, the core socio‑educational service for one- and two‑year‑olds will be free during 9:00–15:30, with optional morning and afternoon classroom hours offered as add‑ons.
