Childminders will no longer be able to welcome children for three weeks, "in line with the nurseries," Matignon told AFP on Thursday.
However, some will continue to welcome "priority audiences", the list of which is currently being arbitrated.
280,000 childminders in France welcome between one and four children.
The President of the Republic announced Wednesday the closure of nurseries and primary schools for three weeks.
The question of compensation
"The study by the Institut Pasteur shows that there is more contamination among childminders than in schools", explains Matignon, referring to a request from childminders.
The question of the “compensation scheme” for the employees concerned is “not yet completely settled”, it not being “necessarily that of partial activity”, it was specified.
During the first confinement to fight against the Covid-19 epidemic in March, the State had conversely relaxed the standards, allowing childminders to simultaneously accommodate six children instead of four and thus "gradually support the recovery of the activity ".
At the same time, those who had not been able to work during this period had benefited from the “exceptional allowances” system set up for employees working for private employers.
