About this care
Welcome to daycare Aquamarijn, a small-scale childcare facility for children aged 0 to 4 located at Biezendwarsstraat 33 in Nijmegen. We are part of Kindcentrum Aquamarijn and work closely with KION, ensuring seamless integration between childcare and education.
Our qualified staff give each child the individual attention they deserve. Every day we offer fun and challenging activities both indoors and outdoors. We regularly use the gymnasium, as physical activity is central to our approach. Exercise is not only healthy but also essential for brain development, motor skills and building self-confidence. Above all, itβs great fun.
Our beautiful new building features French doors opening onto an enclosed garden. The garden is designed with natural materials and age-appropriate play areas where children can safely explore the world and enjoy outdoor play. We also offer outdoor sleeping so children can benefit from fresh air.
We operate a vertical group structure: children from 0 to 4 years are together in one group. This promotes social development and peer learning. Younger children observe toddler activities, while toddlers learn to interact with babies. This creates a homely, familiar atmosphere where every child feels safe and valued.
We provide Early Childhood Education (VVE) to stimulate language and social development, ensuring children make a strong start in primary school. When children transition from our daycare to primary school, we facilitate a warm handover between parents, teachers and childcare staff.
In short, at daycare Aquamarijn we offer a safe, familiar environment where children can develop optimally through play, movement and discovery.Read more

Summary
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Aquamarijn in Nijmegen, part of KION, was inspected on 1 June 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Gelderland-Zuid. The unannounced incidental investigation took place simultaneously with the annual inspection. The location provides care for children aged 0-4 years in two vertical groups and a toddler group with early childhood education. The provider has met all inspected quality requirements. One violation was identified: the pedagogical work plan had not been updated to reflect the new situation following the discontinuation of a toddler group as of 2 January 2026. Following a recovery offer with a two-week deadline, the provider corrected this. The GGD advises the municipality of Nijmegen to grant the request to reduce the number of childcare places from 66 to 43 in the LRK.
