Hi, I'm Marloes van Ingen Schenau, location manager of Kindergarden Rhijngeesterstraatweg Oegstgeest. Would you like to come and take a look at our childcare location?

Welcome to our fun and friendly daycare, which is located in a quiet residential neighborhood. You’ll feel at home right away! Our close-knit team knows all the children and parents, and the children are also familiar with all members of staff. In the baby group, we observe your child’s natural rhythm and assess their needs on this basis. This means that if your child is still asleep at mealtime, that’s no problem at all – we’ll feed them as soon as they wake up. Mealtimes are very important social occasions at our daycare facility and a special time for our children and staff. The children always eat their meals in our laps.

Our toddlers like to actively discover the world around them, which we observe every day on and around our mezzanine, where our kids come up with all kinds of adventurous fantasy games. Sometimes we break up the toddler group, with one half going outside to run and play around and the other group doing crafts. Arts and crafts helps children to learn resourcefulness and teaches them to figure out how to use the tools available to them. We provide a variety of materials and accessories and watch as the kids let their creativity flow.

In a secluded patch of the baby garden, our youngest charges can enjoy the fresh air and move around freely in safety as the older children hide in the peekaboo bush, ride their bikes across the bike track, or play in the sandbox or outdoor kitchen. The green garden of this former convent is large enough to allow all three groups to play outside at the same time.

Our location is very easily accessible for Leiden residents, and Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) is just 10 minutes away.

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.
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 on the discovery path, the bicycle circuit, and in the outdoor kitchen.
Toddler gymnastics

Toddlers love exercise, as this enables them to discover their bodies through play. That’s why we do this every morning with them during our toddler gymnastics. We use stories to get the children moving and challenge them to make their own contributions.

Both my daughters have loved spending three days a week with the professional and friendly staff at Kindergarden Oegstgeest. They enjoy a healthy and varied organic meal at lunchtime and they play such fun games that really help our children’s development. All things considered, I’m more than satisfied and I would recommend Kindergarden to everyone.

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.

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.
