About this care
Welcome to our daycare center in Afferden! We are located within primary school 't Diekske at De Gaard 19, where we provide care for up to 16 children per day in one cozy group space. Children from 0 to 4 years are together in a vertical group, allowing the youngest to learn from the older children and vice versa.
Our spacious and calm group area is designed with various play corners where children can choose where and what they want to play. We believe in learning through play and provide age-appropriate toys for this purpose. Besides our indoor space, we have our own enclosed outdoor area where children can safely play and explore daily.
We offer flexible childcare options: full days from 7:30 to 18:30, morning care from 7:30 to 12:30, or afternoon care from 12:30 to 18:30. Extended care from 7:00 AM is also possible. Currently, we are closed on Fridays, but from Monday to Thursday our doors are open for your child.
With us, diapers, wipes, and fruit are included in the care. We collaborate with the developmental childcare and after-school care located in the same building, creating regular fun interactions where children can meet each other. Parents can choose from different care packages: regular care (50 weeks), school weeks care (39 weeks), or holiday weeks care (11 weeks), always tailored to what suits your family best.Read more
GGD Inspection
Improvements needed
Inspection date: May 26, 2026
Strengths

- All personnel, including interns and volunteers, hold valid Certificate of Conduct (VOG) and PRK registration

Shortcomings
- The coherence between the health and safety policy, risk assessment, and location-specific protocols could be improved

Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report dated 26 May 2026 for daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Afferden, located at primary school St. Victor in Afferden, concludes that the provider meets all examined quality requirements. The facility offers toddler care on Tuesday and Thursday mornings with 16 childcare places, without subsidised early childhood education. The organisation KION Kinderopvang B.V. operates the location. The inspection covered pedagogical policy, staff qualifications, language use, and health and safety policy. No violations were identified. However, a health risk to children was identified due to overheating of the group room on very warm days, for which the provider is in consultation with the primary school to purchase air conditioning. The advice to the municipality of Druten is: no enforcement.
