About this care
Welcome to Partou Cranevelt! Our daycare center is located at Daam Fockemalaan 1 in Arnhem, in the Alteveer/Cranevelt district. This spacious location lies at the edge of Park Zypendaal on Sportpark Cranevelt and features 4 groups, each with its own experience garden.
At Partou Cranevelt your child grows up active and healthy. We pay a lot of attention to nature: we regularly go on discovery trips to the nearby forest or play on the sports fields behind our building. Indoors, our spacious living rooms offer hours of play with corners for reading, building, and creative activities. In a safe, sheltered spot your baby can practice rolling, crawling, and first steps.
We consciously choose healthy and tasty food following the guidelines of the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. At midday all children from 4 months receive a healthy warm meal. We serve fresh fruit, vegetables, and bread meals daily, taking allergies and dietary requirements into account.
We offer flexible childcare: care days can be communicated at the last minute. Through the Partou parent app you stay involved daily with photos, reports, and direct contact with the pedagogical staff. Our location manager Elisa Oldenhof is ready for all your questions. The language at our daycare is Dutch.Read more
