FAQ

How does Tadah work?

You can simply walk in and work at our coworking space in Zurich Albisrieden, also when you don’t have a child.
If you would like to come with a child or children, we ask you to book the place for your child at least 48 hours in advance. For short term requests you can always call us – depending on the workload we might still be able to book you in. You will be working in the coworking space, which is located two floors above the Kids Space, while your child is being lovingly and professionally cared for. In certain cases, you can also work away from the office for up to 5 hours.
If you don’t want to work in the Tadah Coworking Space, we can recommend the Tadah Playgroup – which runs from 08:00 to 13:00 each day.

May I also use the Tadah coworking space without needing the Kids Space?

Absolutely!

Can I also divide my coworking days up?

You can use the days of your 5 or 10-day card flexibly. You can even divide them into half days. For example, you can come in on a Tuesday afternoon one week and on a Wednesday morning the next. You simply have to use up your credit three months after buying the 5 or 10-day card.

How can I use a half-day drop-in?

With a half-day pass, you can work with us for five hours. You have the flexibility to choose when you start working – for example, you can be with us from 08:00 to 13:00 or from 10:00 to 15:00. Important: Your drop-in pass expires at the end of the day, even if you may not have used it up completely.

How can I use a full-day drop-in?

With a full-day pass, you can work with us for up to ten hours. Important: Your pass expires at the end of the day, even if you may not have used it completely.

Is Tadah a licensed childcare center?

No. Because the parent works under the same roof (but not in the same room), we are not subject to licensing. Nevertheless, we are allowed to separate child and parent for a maximum of five hours per day. This means that the parents can go to a meeting with a client, or the children can go to the playground.
But this is the only difference to a daycare center. Our Kids Space works according to a pedagogical concept and our childcare staff is professionally trained. We are also in constant exchange with the daycare supervision, which is part of the Social Department of the City of Zurich.

How do we guarantee optimal flexibility and yet stability for the children?

Our trained professional staff on site guarantees stability – the childcare staff are all full-time employees with fixed contracts, the children know their caregivers and vice versa. In addition, we design the program and the premises of Kids Space in such a way that they form a constant for the children.
Experience has shown that flexibility is important to parents, but that in everyday life with young children there are fixed points. In other words, almost all our customers have their children looked after regularly at Kids Space, which in turn means that the children come to an environment that is familiar to them.

Can my child see me?

No, the Kids Space and Co-working Space are on different floors.

How old does my child have to be to be cared for at Tadah Kids Space?

At Tadah Kids Space, children are cared for from the age of three months until they start school.

What happens to my booking if my child gets sick or something comes up?

You can cancel your booking free of charge up to 24 hours in advance (preferably by phone). If you cancel at short notice, we will charge for the childcare.

How many people are the Tadah meeting rooms suitable for?

We have three meeting rooms which are available for rent. Marthe, which can accommodate up to 12 people. Pirmin for up to six people and Tilda for two people. Marthe and Pirmin have a screen and a video conference system as well as whiteboards. All information about our three meeting rooms can be found here.

What kind of catering services do you offer?

We offer various packages. Be it a coffee-tea package, snack baskets or fruit bowls. We can also organize a lunch for you (e.g. through our partners at Kaisin, or you can help yourself to our Nosh-Pots). You can find more information about our catering offers here.
