Hi, I'm Rowena Huisman, location manager of Kindergarden Maliebaan Utrecht. Would you like to come and take a look at our childcare location?

Countless parents who have toured our building have been blown away by its beauty, especially the high ceilings, ample windows, and bright light coming through at any time of the day. All rooms have a warm and homelike feel, and we’ve created clearly marked areas for your baby to crawl to and discover various toys and other play products. This familiarity gives them a sense of comfort and security. 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.

We sometimes like to divide the toddler group into two smaller groups so we can devote more time to one particular activity. One of the groups gets to run around and play in the yard, while the other does crafts in a nook designed especially for this purpose.

In our long and spacious yard, you’ll completely forget you’re in a city! We’ve got zigzag trees our younger and older toddlers can hide behind, a large sandbox, and a separate, blocked-off section for our infants, so they too get the opportunity to freely explore their environment and play in the fresh air. We use shading covers during the summer months to shield the children from the bright sun.

We’re just a 3-minute walk from Utrecht’s city center, near the Waterlinie (New Dutch Water Line), from which you can get right onto the A12, A27, and A28 highways.

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.
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!
Toddler studio

We often divide 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.

Our daughter has really enjoyed going to Kindergarden Maliebaan since she was a baby. We think the diversity of cultures among both the children and staff is fantastic. The staff are so caring and professional. The rooms in this beautiful stately building on Maliebaan are so spacious and light and there’s a wonderful garden where the children can enjoy playing outdoors. And last but not least; there’s a fresh, hot lunch every day, which is great!

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 Rowena Huisman, location manager of Kindergarden Maliebaan Utrecht.

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.
