Babilou Family

🚀A few weeks ago, we unveiled our new strategic plan looking ahead to 2028, in which continuous improvement is placed at the heart of our actions and our corporate culture. 🤲🏼This commitment drives us every day to evaluate our actions and evolve our practices, in close collaboration with families and professionals in our nurseries. We were the first to launch, as early as February 2025, a monthly measurement of family satisfaction across the 10 countries where we operate. This concrete initiative allows us to prioritize the quality and safety of the care we provide to children. The initial results are telling: ✅ An average increase of +15 NPS points compared to 2024; ✅ Significant progress observed in the majority of countries. 🙏These results are also the outcome of exemplary teamwork. Thank you to the marketing, digital, and operations teams who successfully rolled out this ambitious project with great efficiency.

J’étais samedi matin l’invité d’Alexandra Bensaid sur France Inter dans l’émission « On n’arrête pas l’éco », pour parler du nouveau plan stratégique de Babilou Family.    Après 11 mois à la tête du groupe, à aller à la rencontre des équipes dans nos crèches, je suis convaincu de leur engagement sans faille pour accueillir chaque jour avec responsabilité près de 15 000 enfants en France. Elles transmettent au quotidien notre vision ambitieuse de l’éducation. Car les crèches sont un lieu d’éducation clé pour les enfants de 0 à 3 ans, qui leur permet de se développer, d’en apprendre plus sur l’environnement qui les entoure et de prendre confiance en eux. Leur rôle est d’autant plus déterminant dans un contexte de baisse de la natalité inédite depuis 1945.    Malgré l’importance de notre mission, notre secteur traverse aujourd’hui une période de turbulences : le système de financement des crèches privées est en panne. Deux phénomènes se sont conjugués : l’évolution des comportements des parents post Covid qui utilisent des modes de garde "à la carte" et le paiement de la prestation de service unique à l’heure et non plus au forfait.   Chez Babilou Family, nous avons fait le choix de privilégier la qualité, parfois aux dépens de l’ouverture de nouvelles places en crèche, alors même que chaque année, près de 20% des parents ne trouvent pas de solution de garde. Mais nous devons impérativement transformer notre modèle pour pouvoir répondre à la demande sans sacrifier la qualité de l’accueil des enfants.   C’est le sens du plan stratégique que j’ai annoncé la semaine dernière : continuer à garantir un niveau de sécurité et de qualité d’accueil irréprochable, améliorer le bien-être des professionnels en crèche, étendre notre mission éducative et prendre notre part face aux grands enjeux sociétaux, notamment la baisse de la natalité.     Pour écouter l’interview en intégralité : https://lnkd.in/eAsVBbN8   Merci à France Inter pour cet échange, et merci aux équipes Babilou Family pour leur engagement constant.

Demain à 9h sur France Inter, On n'arrête pas l'éco présenté par Alexandra Bensaid. Au programme : 🔹 Entretien avec Christophe Fond, PDG du groupe Babilou Family. Manque de bras, de places, dysfonctionnements et même scandales… Gros plan sur les crèches et leur modèle économique. 🔹 Débat entre Leila Abboud, correspondante au bureau parisien du Financial Times et Anne-Laure Delatte, directrice de recherche au CNRS - Salon du Bourget, lois de programmations militaires, sommet de l'Otan, dépenses publiques… Faut-il dépenser plus dans la défense ? Avec quel argent ? Peut-on se tourner vers une souveraineté française ou européenne ? 🔹 Reportage de Thomas Giraudeau - Pénurie de main d'œuvre dans les crèches : qui va garder les enfants ? 🔹 Un détour par Tokyo avec Karyn Nishimura - De la fabrication de voitures à celle d'armes : le Japon peut-il vraiment en devenir un grand exportateur ? 🔹 Et la chronique Ma vie au boulot de sandrine foulon : les documents que nous produisons au travail nous appartiennent-ils ? A demain !

A new chapter begins! 🚀 We are proud to introduce our strategic plan 2025-2028 to become the most scalable and robust operator placing the well-being of children and teams at the heart of everything we do. Co-designed across the 10 countries in which we operate, our value proposition is built around 4 pillars: 🫴🏻SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE #SafestPlace By 2028, Babilou Family will ensure all centers are certified, children engage daily with nature, and all decisions align with top safety, compliance, and sustainability standards. ✊🏻EMPLOYEES COMMITMENT, PROFESSIONALISM & SATISFACTION #UndisruptedPreferredPlaceToWork By 2028, Babilou Family will empower all employees through advanced training, internal promotion, inclusive leadership, and gender equity across all management levels. 📚 EDUCATION EXCELLENCE #VetedPreferredSchoolToLearn By 2026, Babilou Family will foster children's development through freedom of movement, multilingual exposure, and science-based practices, while strengthening parent partnerships and expert-led educational standards. 👶 POSITIVE IMPACT AND GROWTH #OpenAndImpact By 2028, Babilou Family will expand access to childcare to support birth rates, enhance transparency through monthly NPS surveys, empower parents and educators in governance, and fund innovation via its Foundation. #TomorrowStartsNow #PeopleFirst #PlanetAtTheCore #PedagogyForTomorrow #PositiveGrowth

🌿 World Nature Day 🌿 At Babilou Family, nature is a true daily ally for children. We know how essential spending time outdoors is for their development, curiosity, and well-being. That’s why our 10 countries take part in the #OutdoorChallenge: an event held twice a year over one week. The next edition will be held from the 30th of June to the 6th of July. 👉What’s the goal of the challenge? To spend as much time as possible outside, reconnect with nature, and make every outing a fun and enriching discovery, creating unique moments for children, always at the heart of nature. Example from the Babilou Family Nederland: during Outdoor Week, children take part in various activities such as making mud soup, picking up litter, playing ball games, creating mandalas from natural materials, and capturing moments in photos with nature. 🌍 And throughout the year, countries keep nature at the core of their practices: 📌Babilou Family Switzerland: In the forest, teams have set up sensory spaces where children can touch, listen to, and observe nature. Playful trails suitable for all ages encourage discovery and outdoor play. 📌Babilou: Regular outings in parks and gardens allow children to explore the seasons, learn about plants and animals, while developing their autonomy and creativity. 📌 Babilou Family Deutschland GmbH: Frequent outings, even in bad weather, include activities focused on observation and construction in nature. 🙌🏼Will you join us? #WorldNatureDay #OutdoorChallenge #PedagogyForTomorrow

🌍 World Inclusiv' Day At Babilou Family, we believe in inclusive education where diversity is a strength. In our book Sustainable Education, we highlight the importance of creating welcoming environments where every child and every family can find their place. Here are some examples of practices implemented in our countries to ensure respectful and inclusive care: Babilou Family Switzerland: Bilingualism is part of everyday life, with professionals speaking each child’s specific language. This enables natural language immersion. Babilou: Childcare centers implement Individualized Care Plans (PAI) to support children with disabilities through tailored solutions that meet their specific needs, while ensuring compassionate care. Babilou Family Deutschland GmbH: Multicultural education is enhanced through creative workshops and cultural activities, allowing children to discover and celebrate the diverse cultures around them. Babilou Family Luxembourg: The Incluso service supports inclusion in childcare by offering personalized guidance for children with disabilities. This partnership with educators and families helps find adapted solutions and fosters empathy and non-discrimination among all children. 🤝 Promoting inclusion and valuing diversity in childcare is essential to help every child thrive in a respectful and supportive environment. #WorldInclusivDay #SustainableEducation #PeopleFirst #PedagogyForTomorrow
