no chance for a public creche.
School starts at 2.5 years here. You're also very late for enrolling if your child reaches 2.5 this school year.
The only creches likely to have places are going to cost 800 euro, eg Kidfarwest and  Kids Attitude.

BJAB but what about local schools?

Ixelles is NOT a good area to live with kids. Do you have to live there?

Thanks for the infi. Very usefull. What areas do you recommend to livewith children  and why are they better than ixelles, near lacambre.  Regards,

Thanks ...!!!,

noisy, dirty, expensive, not that much for children around there.
try around Montgomery/Merode. Local schools easier to get in to as well.

Look at BISB as well as BJAB. Wouldn't even consider BEPS. But I'd go local with a child that young. It's very easy to keep up English in Brussels with a wide choice of activities out of school in English, whereas a child without French would find it hard to do all the things in French. Leave the formal English till later. 2 years at a local school would give fluency in French.
