Cost of Living in Stans for family of 4

Hello Christel.

Welcome to Expat.com!

I invite you to read this thread on Cost of living in Switzerland.

Thank you,
Aurélie

Thanks Aurélie

I can't find any information on baby expenses such as pampers nappies and formula milk. Also no information on what we can expect to pay for creches and nursery schools. Do you have any information on this?

Thanks
Christel

Hi Christel,

You could check out other threads on the Schools & studies in Switzerland forum and Children in Switzerland forum as well.

To get a rough idea what common things as food etc. cost, I would advise you to have a look around on the online-stores of the major Swiss supermarkets Migros and Coop

On the subject of nurseries and pre-schools... I'm not an expert on that (I don't have kids), but according to the homepage of a nursery in Nidwalden (chinderhuis.ch) the cost will depend on your annual household income. As far as I'm aware a place in a nursery is only then cost effective if the partner of the main bread winner (in this case you), works at least 50%.

Pre-schools aka Kindergarten (normally starting at age 3-4) are usually state funded and are therefore free.


People with kids are encouraged to correct me.

Thanks in advance.
