If you visit our location, you may well come across pheasants scurrying across the grass – they too enjoy the calm and spaciousness of our fabulous daycare. Our entrance, with its stairwell and natural stone floor, will beckon you to take a look around our various sections. You’ll probably notice that we use hanging cradles in our infant group: this helps them adjust to the scents and sounds there and familiarize themselves with this part of the building.
Groups for older toddlers
We challenge our older toddlers to do as many things on their own as possible and increase their self-reliance and independence, which will benefit them when they start attending elementary school. We have two groups for older toddlers at our location, which means we can allow more new children to enter our program more regularly than when there’s only one group, as is the case at many other locations.
Each age group has its own yard
With their adventurous natures, our kids are always delighted to head outdoors: our infants, toddlers, and the children from the afterschool daycare each have their own yard to play in. The infant garden is directly connected to their section of the building and is covered with artificial grass, while the other yards have natural grass. We’ve got toys, accessories, and play equipment for every type of activity, including a bike track, sandbox, shading covers, a vegetable garden, and so on.
We are located in Utrecht’s Leidsche Rijn district, with easy connections to the A2 and A12 highways. We are easy to access by car and provide complimentary parking spaces.

Large discovery gardenOur shady garden really invites children to start discovering and playing. There’s a screened area for the babies, which means that the infants and toddlers can play to their heart’s content in their own garden on the discovery path, the bicycle circuit and practice balancing on the halved car tires.

Special toddler activitiesFor the toddlers, we often deliberately split the group. This allows us to cater to the different developmental stages of the children. We do this with the oldest toddlers (3+) to prepare them for primary school.

Toddler yogaExercise is important, which is why we offer weekly 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.
