Hi, I'm Sanne van Zwieten, location manager of Kindergarden Sportparklaan Heemstede. Would you like to come and take a look at our childcare location?

A bright, spacious, comfortable, and home-like environment. All the rooms of our daycare facility are connected, and the bedrooms are directly adjacent to each room, ensuring we can always keep an eye out. We’ll challenge your child to set out and explore all our spaces, including the black-and-white corner. We designed this especially for our youngest infants, as they observe the contrast between these two shades the sharpest during their first few months. Our junior toddlers can grab their items from the low-level cabinets themselves and get to choose what they’d like to do in their exercise class that day: they tend to love the crawl-through play tunnel and the dance ribbons.

And then there’s our ultra-spacious yard: our kids can get outdoors from any part of the building in no time at all. The babies can safely enjoy the fresh air in their own secluded section, while the older children are free to hide in the living willow tunnel, play in the sandboxes, or pick apples, plums, or figs from our trees under the supervision of our staff. Obviously, the best part is to use this fruit to make some delicious treat together, such as jam or apple fritters.

Our daycare center is located next to the Groenendaal Sportplaza. The sports facilities are nearby, as is the popular Nicolaas Beets elementary school. Good to know for down the line, isn’t it?

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.
Discovery garden

Our shady garden really invites children to start discovering and playing. There’s a screened area for the babies, which means that the older children can play to their heart’s content in the playhouse, the discovery paths, or play hide and seek in the bamboo woods.
Vegetable garden

We have a vegetable garden to teach the children more about nature! We sow seeds, take care of the plants, and harvest them together with the children. And the harvest? We make delicious mint water from it or eat the cucumbers, tomatoes, or strawberries together.
Toddler gymnastics

We do toddler gymnastics every morning with the children that want this. Sometimes we practice rolling over on the mats, using the crawl tunnel or we dance with ribbons. We also ask the children what they’d like to do. Imitating animals? Great - let’s do that!

Kindergarden Heemstede is a fantastic daycare center! With the very best staff a parent could ever wish for. They don’t only offer a safe space for all children, they also use sound childcare methodologies when working with you and your child to optimize your child’s development. We’ve loved bringing our son to Kindergarden Sportparklaan for four days a week and for four years long. Our daughter started there last month too. We’re certain she’ll have just as nice a time there as her big brother!

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.

Hi, I'm Sanne van Zwieten, location manager of Kindergarden Sportparklaan Heemstede.

Did you know that everything in a child's surrounding can affect them? For that reason, we’ve carefully considered everything we do. Absolutely everything. That’s the secret of Kindergarden. Curious? Feel free to come and take a look at our childcare location!

Our childcare staff can focus entirely on the children, because they 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.

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.

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.
