Nursery/Kindergarden
Nurseries in Tvedestrand are both private and municipal-owned. All children will be assigned a place at a nursery after submission of an application. However, sometimes you will have to wait for a short period of time, and you might also be assigned a place in another nursery.
The main closing date for applications is 1st March each year.
Have you recently moved to Tvedestrand, we recommend you to contact the nursery of your choice. You can also contact the School and Nursery Office.
