About this care
Welcome to De Boomhut Daycare, located in a characteristic building at Volkerinksstraat 34 in the Rosarium district of Almelo. We are part of Stichting Humankind and provide professional childcare for children aged 0 to 4 years. At our facility, children flourish in a safe, homely environment where there's room for development, discovery and play.
Our location features beautifully designed group spaces specifically arranged for babies and toddlers. We work with age groups so each developmental stage receives the right attention and care. The spacious outdoor playground offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor play and nature discovery. We believe it's important for children to be outside daily so they can enjoy fresh air and explore their natural surroundings.
At De Boomhut, we believe children learn through play. Our pedagogical staff provide development-oriented activities that match the child's age and interests. We work from a warm, involved approach where every child feels safe and valued. Our childcare centers are a mini-society where children practice living and working together in a safe environment.
We are open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. In addition to our regular childcare, we also provide care starting September 1st for children from the nursing daycare De Schavuiten. These children, aged 0 to 5 years, require nursing care and supervision. This includes children who need temporary nursing care after hospitalization, have chronic illnesses, or use tube feeding.
At De Boomhut, your child's development is central. We offer a familiar place where your child enjoys coming and where you as a parent can bring your child with peace of mind.Read more

Summary
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Boomhut in Almelo, part of Stichting Humankind, was inspected on 3 November 2025. The location provides care for 95 children across seven core groups. The annual inspection shows a predominantly positive picture with several identified violations that have been resolved following a recovery offer. The pedagogical practice is satisfactory: children receive a warm welcome, there is a predictable daily structure, and the outdoor space is actively used for play and discovery. There were two violations: the pedagogical work plan lacked a clear description of core groups and staff-child ratio, and there was no current floor plan while the Chestnut group did not meet the minimum play area requirement. Both violations have been resolved: the work plan has been updated and the number of children in Chestnut has been reduced from 16 to 11. The early childhood education registration has been terminated due to lack of implementation. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
