The growth in applications for admission to nursery school continues: for the 2024-2025 educational year, families of many 789 children have applied for a full-time or part-time position (there were 765 last year, 717 for the year 2022-2023 and, going backwards, 648 in the 2017-2018 educational year, 141 less than the current figure ). If the potential demand in 2018 concerned 44 percent of resident children from 0 to two years old, today that percentage has risen to 53 percent, almost ten points more. In addition to the quality of the service, among the factors that have increased demand is the drastic reduction in the monthly fee: for the next educational year the maximum rate for full-time nursery school it will be 332 euros, which with the INPS bonus drops to 196 euroswhile the minimum rate it stops at 28 euros and comes reset from the INPS bonus. There average rate estimated to be around 65 euros.
Five years ago, in 2019-2020, the full-time rate varied from a minimum of 40.60 euros to a maximum of 437 euros, therefore it was approximately double that of today.

Between October 2023 and April 2024 they were presented in total 735 applications for admission for full-time service and 233 for part-time. 789 children are actually affected since for each child an application can be submitted for both full-time and part-time service.
