How to use KinderFinder

One search box, everything else on the results screen. Free, no account, works in 7 languages.

Search

Enter your postal code on the home page and pick a radius (0.5–25 km) — or type a centre's name in the name search to jump straight to it
On the results screen, the “Within N km” line under the heading is a radius picker — widen your search without going back
Add your commute (home + optional work postal) on the home page to rank centres by how far off your route they are

Filter & sort

The chips filter by program: Subsidy & CWELCC, Fee Subsidy only, CWELCC only, Standard rate — plus Age Group and Has vacancies
“More filters” opens everything else: minimum city quality score, minimum Google rating, operator type, and the free EarlyON drop-in layer
Sort stacks up to three keys in order — e.g. quality score first, then distance

Map & list

Desktop shows list and map side by side; on a phone, the Show Map button swaps views
Marker shapes and colours match the program badges (the legend explains them); tap a marker or a card to select — the map centres on it
Everything on the map is also in the list — the map is never the only way to reach information

Save & share

The bookmark on each card saves it (up to 20); the bookmark icon in the top bar opens your saved list from anywhere
Share sends your list as a message with one link — the recipient can view it, then merge it into their own saved list
Everything stays on your device — no account, and we never see your list

Details & applying

Tap a card to expand it: licensed spaces, city quality table, quality dimensions (tap to open), stars, contact and apply links
Every centre also has a full profile page (link on the expanded card) you can share or print
