The portal will be available live for parents in the town of Günzburg from 8 January 2024. Until this date, the city's facilities cannot yet be found in the portal.
In December 2023 and January 2024, some local authorities will be relocating the technical infrastructure of their LITTLE BIRD administration systems. During this time, the LITTLE BIRD parent portal will not be available for the respective municipality.
However, you will then be able to use the parent portal again as usual and submit your childcare requests to the childcare facilities or view requests that have been submitted.
For urgent matters, please contact your local council directly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Notes for follow-up care
Perhaps you need a follow-up care because your child currently only has a care contract that only runs until the age of 3, for example. Please pay close attention to the start date of the new childcare. The start date of the new request must not overlap with the end date of the current childcare contract, otherwise your child will be considered to be in care for this period and the request will be blocked. The end of the current childcare contract can be viewed in the portal account under the menu item Child care (provided you have agreed to the data import under My Profile > Change Personal Data). If you would still like to specify an overlapping care period for the follow-up care, please be sure to use the feature "Change request" (see below).
Notes on the change request
If your child already has a place in a childcare facility, and you would like to change childcare within the contract period, it is mandatory to mark requests as a change request. This applies to a change to another childcare provider or, for example, to an overlapping change from nursery to kindergarten. If the change request is missing, your child is considered to be cared for at that time. Your request is then automatically blocked and cannot receive a place offer.
Please therefore regularly check the status of your childcare requests in the menu Child care. If the status is "blocked", your child is not actively on the waiting list and cannot be considered for the allocation of places. If you are unsure, please contact the administration of your municipality.
How can I enter my wish to change?
You will be asked to indicate your wish to change before you enter your childcare details. Select "yes" if there is a contract for your child at the desired start date. In many municipalities, you can also enter your wish to switch subsequently by clicking on the pencil icon in the menu item Child care of the portal account (if necessary, you must first activate the consent to data import under My Profile > Change Personal Data). If you do not find a pencil icon, the request can only be changed via the administration of your municipality or the care providers. We recommend that you contact the municipal staff.
