maybe I should have added that the parental leave only applies to the mother. Fathers can just take a month off.

And since women can choose to go back to work after 1 year or even 2 years (at reduced pay until then) the kids can already go to the nursery although it's not free until they're 2.5 years old. Then kindergarten is free

That's unfortunate. Where I live parental leave is split between both parents (I think it is 480 days total), I think that works better.
