We offer many creative activities, often working with a smaller group of children and providing various materials for them to use independently. The purpose is to learn and discover in a playful way by experimenting with materials, techniques, and shapes.
Outdoors, children have more freedom and tend to feel more independent, and our yard is designed specifically for this purpose. The infants can enjoy the fresh air in their separate, blocked-off section.The children can hide in the garden, come together for some social time, or spend a moment alone. Not everyone always wants to run around, right? Our challenging outdoor garden offers climbing structures, bikes, and a large sandbox. Toddlers and preschoolers play together outside, which eases transitions because all the children and staff know each other well.
We’re located 15 minutes by bike from De Uithof and 30 minutes from Utrecht’s central railway station. The A27 highway is just a 5-minute drive away.

Studio
We often divide the infant and toddler groups into smaller groups, so we can really focus on a specific activity. Take our studio for instance, where we offer other craft materials than in the general group, such as magic sand.
-
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.

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.
-
Older toddlers
Our older toddler group focuses on each toddler’s specific developmental needs. We aim to promote self-reliance and challenge them to do as much for themselves as possible, as that will be really useful when they start 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.
Our childcare through the eyes of a parent
We’re simply delighted with Kindergarden Choisyweg. The daycare center’s location in the old school building is really beautiful. All the staff are really caring and professional. They do such fun and instructive activities with the children; even the youngest ones. They serve a healthy, hot meal every day, which is something else we’re extremely pleased about. And the excellent indoor and outdoor play areas are great!

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.
