We offer weekly music lessons to our babies and junior toddlers – including the very youngest of our children, as music helps them to interact with others, brings out their creativity, and facilitates language development. Adopting certain musical customs – like singing a song before naptime – also gives them a sense of trust and stability.
Finally, we have a large yard with a secluded section for our babies and junior toddlers, plus a vegetable garden where we harvest our own fruit and vegetables, which we then examine together... and enjoy as a treat! We are located near downtown Amsterdam, close to the Jordaan district.
Explore the unique childcare at Kindergarden Nassaukade
-
Baby garden
Babies can enjoy the fresh air in complete safety in their own sheltered baby garden area. And the older children can play hide-and-seek to their heart’s content in the willow tunnel or in the sandpit, or race around on small bicycles or carts.
-
Older toddler activities
We often make a point of splitting the toddler group so that we can offer activities that are a good match for the children’s different developmental phases. For instance, in the morning we start with circle time, to prepare the older toddlers (over 3s) for elementary school.
-
Sleep studio and gym
One of our aims is to promote infant and toddler self-reliance. For example, the toddlers who still take naps do so in our “sleep theater,” where they each have their own dedicated place on their own mattress. And when they wake up, we encourage them to get dressed themselves. And when they’re not sleeping, we transform the space into a gym!
-
Yoga
Exercise is important, which is why we offer weekly baby, infant, and toddler yoga. This develops a good way of moving. We also practice keeping balance and we develop their fine and gross motor skills. They simply love it!
On our childcare center, we have horizontal groups
Every child lives in a world where everything impresses – and everything has an impact. That is why we work with horizontal groups at our childcare locations.
Our childcare through the eyes of a parent
When I was pregnant, choosing Kindergarden Nassaukade was a really easy choice to make. Compared with the other daycare centers, you could just feel the warmth, calm, and love. My daughter has been going to this daycare center for some time now and we’re still delighted with our choice. All the staff are lovely, really diverse but each and every one is brilliant. They have so much empathy for the children. I sit there grinning at my mobile when the photos come in showing my daughter looking so happy.

Frequently asked questions about our childcare
To increase the chances of securing a spot, we recommend enrolling your child as soon as possible at our childcare. We take your preferences into account during our planning and strive to fulfill your wishes to the best of our ability.
That depends on various factors including preferred days, how many days you need, and how flexible you are. For example, the likelihood of a placement becoming available for one day is greater than three or four days becoming available in one go. The more flexible you are as a parent, the greater the likelihood that we will be able to offer you a place.
If you’re seeking a place quickly, we’d be happy to look at the options available in our schedule. At the busier locations, we often work approximately four months ahead, so it can take some time before you hear from us. If there’s a waiting list, we rely on cancellations/schedule changes for new places to become available.
Are you pregnant and looking for a place in the longer term? We have horizontal groups at Kindergarden and this affects how far ahead we can plan. Horizontal means that children move on to the next group at a certain time. As we take a child’s development and age and the days that a child spends at the daycare center into account, we plan four to six months ahead, depending on how busy the center is. A schedule can also change a lot. Factors that influence this include registration of siblings (they are given priority), schedule changes for children who already have a placement (switching days or increasing the number of days), and cancellations.
