Mission and vision

A safe place with plenty of room to play, so that every child from 0 to 4 years has every chance to grow.

We value good contact with parents and carers. We offer children a secure place and activities that suit their stage of development, so that every child develops at their own pace.

Set times for eating, sleeping, playing, drop-off and pick-up give structure. We offer emotional and physical safety and take your son's or daughter's feelings seriously.

Settling in and the first day

Before your child starts, we have a thorough introductory meeting. Together we agree how settling in will go, so your child can calmly get used to the group, the childcare workers and the rhythm of the day. How we do this is described in the settling-in policy in our educational work plan.

Nappies, food and drinks are included in the price. You bring formula milk yourself, as well as special nappies or food for an allergy or diet. You pass on any changes in your situation to the Tax and Customs Administration (Belastingdienst) yourself.

Payment and cancellation

The same every month

The annual amount divided by 12. You pay by direct debit, around the 24th of the month.

In advance or afterwards

With a fixed contract you pay in advance; with flexible care you pay afterwards.

Cancelling

In writing, with a notice period of 1 month. Do it before the 20th: on the 21st we process schedules and invoices.

Reversed payments

We charge € 15 administration costs for each reversed direct debit. If payments are reversed repeatedly, childcare may be suspended.

If the contract ends earlier than planned, we recalculate the annual amount.

Closing days

We are closed on these days, so our team can recharge too. We will announce training days later; these entitle you to a swap day.

Parent contact

While your child is with us, we talk with you regularly. These are the fixed moments:

  1. Introduction

    An in-depth intake meeting before your child starts.

  2. Every day

    Always time for a chat at drop-off and pick-up.

  3. After three months

    An interim review: how is your child doing?

  4. Throughout the year

    A regular 10-minute meeting.

  5. Farewell

    A final meeting when the childcare period ends.

Policy and quality

Young children are especially vulnerable, so the government sets strict requirements for childcare. We have all the legally required licences and keep investing in the development of our team.

Educational work plan

Our educational policy, settling-in policy, transition policy, illness policy, complaints procedure and how we communicate with parents.

Safety and health policy plan

Something not right?

We are open to feedback and take complaints seriously. This is how to go about it:

  1. Talk about it

    With the childcare worker or with the management. Often that solves it.

  2. Write to the management

    If we can't sort it out together, submit your complaint in writing to the management.

  3. Disputes committee

    If you still don't feel heard, you can go to an independent disputes committee (Geschillencommissie).
