Hi, I'm Mariska Braun, location manager of Kindergarden De Meern. Would you like to come and take a look at our childcare location?

Our small, close-knit team will be happy to welcome you at our friendly and relaxed facility. The play and relaxation corners in each section are safe and serene spaces for your child to enjoy. We’ve created clearly marked areas for your baby to crawl around and explore, and these separate areas will give your child a sense of safety. We’ve also made a point of restricting the number of stimuli in these corners, so as to prevent your child from getting too distracted and keeping the focus on his or her game.

Our toddlers like to creatively discover the world around them. It’s a joy to see how they connect with each other during music lessons and how inventively they move around to the sounds they hear. And did you know we have a children’s hairstylist who makes regular visits? Many of our parents love the convenience of this service.

Our spacious outdoor area invites children to come play and discover. The garden also contains spaces where your child can play together or alone, including the playhouse. The garden surrounds the entire property, making it possible for our toddlers to turn around the corner and play hide-and-seek. We also provide a separate section with low-level gates for our youngest children. This means they can play quietly and separately from the older children, while the low barriers make it very easy for them to interact with their older siblings.

We provide easy-access parking near our center. You’ll find us right off the A12 highway.

Explore the unique childcare at Kindergarden De Meern

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. [40 words/216 characters incl. spaces]
English lessons

Young 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.
Kids’ hairdresser

Once every quarter a children’s hairdresser visits our location to cut the children’s hair if you want that. It makes things really easy for you!

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

Kindergarden De Meern is a fantastic daycare center in a quiet neighborhood. It’s on such a wonderfully small scale that even the staff from other groups know your child. We felt really confident in the center right from the start and we’re very satisfied with the professional, caring, and reliable staff that work in the various groups. They organize many themed activities and as parents you can get involved via the app. We really appreciate the luxury of hot meals at lunchtime.

Frequently asked questions about our childcare

When do I need to register for 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.

How likely is it that I will be given a place?

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.

When will I hear whether there is 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.

What makes childcare from Kindergarden so unique?

Our staff is our greatest asset

Our childcare staff can focus entirely on the children, becausethey receive optimal support from colleagues at the location.For instance, the cleaning staff makes sure everything is clean and tidy and prepares a fresh, hot lunch for everyone every day. The full-time location manager is responsible for supervising staff, administration, and for answering practical questions from parents. Working together like this ensures that we have all the time we need to care for, guide, and help your child develop.

Wereldwijs our own pedagogical program

In ‘Wereldwijs’, our childcare program, we explain how we offer that attention and guidance and why we work like this. As we have developed, detailed, and recorded everything in a well-thought-out way, ‘Wereldwijs’ offers the perfect guidance for our childcare staff. This program ensures that, as parent, you know which development points we will be focusing on.

Our interior and play equipment: looking through the eyes of your child

Walk into any of the groups and you’ll see clearly marked corners and play equipment everywhere. They invite you to investigate and play! Our furniture as the play equipment, we ensure that this grows with your child.
