About this care
Daycare De Bloementuin is located in the Integral Child Centre (IKC) Merwede at Hobbemastraat 3 in Hardinxveld-Giessendam. We provide care for children aged 0 to 4 years in two horizontal groups: De Rupsen (0-2 years) and De Vlinders (2-4 years). Our location works closely with Merwedeschool and preschool De Ukkepuk, ensuring a smooth and familiar transition to primary school.
At De Bloementuin, the child is at the centre. We create a safe and stimulating environment where children can develop freely. Our pedagogical staff provide professional care and guide children in their social and emotional development. We teach children to play together, share, wait their turn and stand up for themselves. Thanks to our small-scale setup, we know every child and can offer tailor-made care.
We are open on weekdays from 07:30 to 18:30. Children can join us for early childhood education (VVE), with attention to language development and school readiness. The play areas are tailored to the age and developmental stage of the children, with quiet sleeping areas and a safe outdoor space. Parents can leave their child with us with peace of mind, knowing they are in good hands.Read more
