Our premises are centrally located in the green Floriande district. We are in the building next to the health center, which also houses the midwife center. Our building is open and light, and offers the children plenty of space. And yet it has such a homely feel that the youngest ones have all the peace and quiet they need.
The children can exercise to their heart’s content in our exercise area. We also have lots of great partnerships with various sport and game theme partners. For instance, there are toddler dance and judo lessons for children from 2.5 years of age.
Outdoors, children have more freedom and tend to feel more independent. That’s why we designed our garden specifically for this purpose. Each group has its own section of the garden, and even the youngest ones can enjoy the fresh air in their own separate and sheltered area. The children can hide in the garden, join their friends, or just spend time on their own. After all, kids can’t keep running around all day, can they?
We are easily accessible from various directions, also for parents and children from outside Hoofddorp.

Friends call me Jim
Twice a week the toddlers and preschoolers enjoy some exercise with really challenging materials. Based on magical stories, we stimulate the children's imagination and experience, allowing them to discover the joy of exercise.
-
Gym
Children like to move a lot, because this is how they discover their bodies through play. We do this every day outside or in bad weather in the enormous gymnasium. So that everyone can always release their energy.
-
Older toddler activities
For toddlers, we offer toddler plus activities to the oldest toddler. 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.

Discovery garden
Our large green garden really invites you to explore and play. The playhouse, our bamboo forest or the trail, everything invites a child to explore and play.

Play and relaxation corners
Our baby group(s) have been designed to ensure that every child in the 0 to 2 age range can play and relax in peace and quiet. They can choose from our black and white corner, reading corner, the kitchen unit, the big play mat, or our mirror with tactile tiles.
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.

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.
