About this care
Welcome to Daycare ‘t Heikantje in Nuenen, located at Alvershool 2A. We provide daycare for children aged 0 to 4 years in a unique agricultural setting. Our location is situated at a riding school, where horses graze outside and children can watch the farmer at work from the group area. Every day, the children experience the seasons and discover the nature around them.
We work with vertical groups, where children of different ages play and learn together. This encourages development and social interaction. Our groups are spacious and each has two sleeping rooms. The new building is directly connected to the outdoor area, where outdoor beds are also available for naps in the fresh air.
For the youngest children, we have the ‘Veulentjes’ group, where up to 12 babies are cared for daily. For toddlers and preschoolers, there are the ‘Shetlanders’, ‘Pony’s’ and ‘Haflingers’ groups, each with a maximum of 16 children and sufficient supervision. We tailor our activities to the interests and needs of the children, so each child can develop at their own pace.
Diapers are included and we support bottle feeding. Half-day care is possible, with flexible childcare from 07:30 to 18:30. Early drop-off from 07:00 is also available on request.
Come and see how wonderful it is to let your child grow up in a safe, natural environment full of animals, space and peace.Read more
