Our daycare center is located in a pleasant, light, and modern single-storey building. All the sections for our various age ranges are connected, which promotes maximum interaction between parents and staff (we’re very proud to say that many of our permanent employees have been with us since we opened our doors in 2001).
We prepare fruit and vegetable snacks for our infants every day, and our toddlers regularly visit our afterschool daycare to use its exercise facilities. With each section having a door to the outside that leads to its own yard, our infants can explore the outdoor area in perfect safety: there’s a canopy that provides lots of shade, and they even have their own sandbox. Our discovery garden for younger toddlers has its own water pump, a tumble bar, and plenty of spaces to hide. We look after our vegetable garden together with the children: growing plant cuttings, harvesting, and enjoying the bell peppers, cucumber, fresh mint, strawberries, and pears we grew ourselves.
You may also be interested to know our location is easily accessible and located near the A27 highway.
Please note! Since our afterschool daycare center is located within walking distance of our facility, our older toddlers attend daycare there to prepare them for elementary school. This means they’re already familiar with the team and the location by the time they start school.

Discovery garden per groupEach group has its own section of the garden that really invites them to discover and play. Babies can play safely in their own screened area. The infants and toddlers can play to their heart’s content with the water pump, bicycle circuit, tumble bars, and can play hide and seek in the bamboo forest.

English lessonsYoung children’s ears are incredibly receptive to the sounds of other languages. We grasp this opportunity every week so our toddlers get to know English through play. We use our hand puppets Benny and Bella for this.

Vegetable gardenWe have a vegetable garden to teach the children more about nature! We sow seeds, take care of the plants, and harvest them together with the children. And the harvest? We make delicious mint water from it or eat the cucumbers, tomatoes, or strawberries together.

Older toddlersOur older toddler group focuses on each toddler’s specific developmental needs, helping to prepare them for elementary school. We aim to promote self-reliance and challenge them to do as much for themselves as possible, which is really useful when they start elementary school.
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.

Bij mogen dragen aan de zorg en (spelenderwijs) ontwikkeling van de kinderen, maakt mij trots. Hoe mooi is het om kinderen uit te dagen, zodat ze dat ene nieuwe stapje durven te zetten en dit vervolgens vol trots aan je laten zien. Zij zorgen elke dag voor een lach op mijn gezicht. Hier doe je het voor!
