About this care
Welcome to De Bende, our daycare centre right in the heart of Horst. Located at Gasthuisstraat 56, our colourful and homely building is the perfect place for children aged 0 to 4 to play, move and discover every single day. The group rooms are cosy and arranged with different play corners, carefully designed for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. We even have a separate toddler group so our littlest ones can develop at their own pace.
Playtime happens both indoors and outdoors. Our garden invites children to run, climb and let their imaginations run wild. We believe children learn best when they meet and interact with each other, so we often work in small groups. A warm, freshly prepared meal is served daily, tailored to the needs of young children. Parents stay informed through our Spring app, receiving updates and photos of their child’s day.
In short, De Bende is a safe, cheerful place where your child will feel right at home, and where we lovingly support every first big step in life.Read more
