A warm welcome in a former church
The feeling of being welcome, the security, the space – let us show you around our daycare center in this former church and you will surely experience the same! Our pedagogical staff, for example in the baby group, have often been with us for years and are happy to share their experience. They will gladly explain why we have hanging cradles in the baby groups and why we always feed on the lap.
Daily activities and movement
In all our groups, we wake up gnome Pim every morning. We do a lot of movement activities like Friends Call me Jim and the yoga teacher visits us every week. Our older toddlers are on the play attic. There we can really focus on activities that prepare them for elementary school, such as circle time.
Safe outdoor spaces
We have a toddler garden, a preschool garden, and for the babies, a fenced area where they can quietly enjoy the fresh air. The toddlers practice their balance, cycle, play together in the sandbox, or alone in one of the corners. The preschoolers are active with challenging elements like the bamboo grove and the playhouse.
Easily accessible
Our location is on the Rotte in Hillegersberg, within cycling distance of the city center. You can park for free and you are quickly on the A16 and A20 highways.

Playing in the baby garden
In our baby garden, babies safely enjoy the fresh air in their own enclosed garden. Meanwhile, the older children can also have fun playing in the sandbox or racing on the small bikes or go-karts.
-
Friends call me Jim
The infants and toddlers exercise in our gym hall 2.0 twice a week. It’s equipped with light projections, a projector and really challenging equipment. We use magical stories to stimulate the children’s fantasy and experience and this helps them discover the enjoyment of exercise.
-
Adventurous garden
Our large green garden with shady spots truly invites exploration and play. Everything ensures that a child is invited to discover in our adventurous garden.
-
Special toddler activities
With the toddlers, we often deliberately split the group. This way, we can cater to the different developmental stages of the children. We do this with the oldest toddlers (3+) in preparation for primary 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.

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.
