About this care
Welcome to the baby and toddler group ‘Hummels’ of Kinderopvang Bij Lotte B.V., located at Apeldoornseweg 1A in Hattem. This location is specially designed for children from 0 up to about 2 years old and has room for a maximum of 16 children. We work in a calm, horizontal group where your baby or toddler is given the space to grow and develop at his or her own pace.
Our spacious group room includes a separate, cosy corner for the very youngest, an open kitchen, a dedicated sleep room and a sheltered outdoor area. The sleep room is fitted with cribs and blackout curtains so your child can rest safely and peacefully. The outdoor area is situated directly in front of the ’t Heem residential care centre and offers plenty of room for safe outdoor play and discovery.
At Lotte we work with familiar, consistent faces. Our pedagogical staff follow your child’s individual rhythm and tailor care, play and rest precisely to what your child needs. We maintain a clear daily structure with fixed times for sleeping, eating and playing, aligning as closely as possible with the home routine. Parents can reach the group through a separate entrance, ensuring tranquillity and giving your child a secure transition from home to childcare.
We would be happy to welcome you for a tour. Registration is possible exclusively through our website; after checking availability we will invite you for a personal introductory meeting.Read more
